This is the best experience of Fort Kochi on a tuk tuk.. We got to travel in an offbeat common man’s ferrari in style! Karthik the pilot of the tuk tuk is a real rockstar in his 40’s! Amazing man with sound knowledge about the heritage and culture of Fort kochi. Tyndis cochin tuk tuk tour is undoubtedly one of the best cochin sightseeing tour in my opinion.. Definitely recommend this tour for the quality service and amazing scope for sightseeing!

Booked this tour through TA in fort kochi. The tuk tuk driver Mr. Karthik picked us up from our hotel. He was a pleasant gentleman with a smiling face. The stories shared by karthik made me and friends walk past through time - to the history of the place. The beach and the old church was beautiful. The traditional lunch at the kerala hotel was delicious and amazing! thanks to karthik and team for this experience! We highly recommend this tour in Kochi!
