We did a combination walking and tuk tuk tour with Biju which was fantastic. He has a brilliant knowledge of the history and culture of the area as well as an obvious passion to share this with visitors. Great price and very easy to organise with him as well, would definitely recommend.

Biju was amazing and took us to very unique places we would not have seen otherwise. He also showed local shops that were priced very well and informative. We had young kids with us so he was very accommodating as well.

Biju's Tours (by Biju) in Kochi was a hugely surprising experience. Having just a few hours to spare while we waited for the flight we decided to check out what "fort" kochi had to offer. Fortunately finding some slot with the highest rated tour guide in Kochi. He didnt disappoint. A true Kochi boy who oozes love for the city. He knows all the routes, all the stories, seemingly every auto guy. He took us through some of the coolest neighborhoods with some of the illustrious spots in kochi while also casually name dropping and spitting out an engaging history lesson without us not even feeling like we are getting educated. Equipped with a quick wit, earnest attitude and a bouncless energy he made the tour seem like it was without effort. The tour was carefully thought out while also giving us options to choose to make changes to the route. He made this brief tour so extensive that we felt compelled to come back for another one just to hang out with this guy. Highly recommended and we wish him the best of luck on his endeavours.

Fantastic and informative tour of Kochi. The tuk tuk driver Narendran was extremely attentive to our requirements and adapted the tour accordingly. He made the tour live, and was very knowledgable of the area. He was friendly and made us feel very relaxed. Strongly recommend this tour and I suggest you request to use Narendran as he is just great.

My friend and I had only a couple of hours and wanted to see some sights in Fort Kochi. We contacted Biju's tours and were pleasantly surprised that the company was able to arrange a custom tour for us (focusing on the Matancherry area). We were surprised that Biju, the owner, was the guide himself! Biju was very friendly, really knowledgeable about the area and spoke really good English, despite as he stated, not having learned much English in school. We visited the Jewish area, the synagogue, the Dutch Palace, and the spice market. So colorful and so much history of so many cultures peacefully co-existing! Thanks Biju. We highly recommend this tour.
