Overview

Fort Cochin is marked for one of the earliest establishments of foreign trade in Kerala. The heritage walk is an awesome 1.5 km on foot, which takes us back to the 1500’s when the Portuguese, the Dutch and the English was busy trading the wealth. The island provided them a very wonderful place to trade and refresh. The heritage walk meets us at different monuments which reminds us of these historical landmarks. 

We will also visit Fort Kochi’s seaside promenade, and get a glimpse of daily life in Kochi. 

The walk lasts 2 hours and is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Our guide Vijesh was fantastic during our half day tour of fort Cochin - he was knowledgeable on the history of the fort, great English speaking and funny and gave us many great tips for the rest of our trip too. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone’s trip to orientate the area.

We had a private walking tour in Fort Kochi just a couple of days ago. The tour was about 3 hours long and we could visit the highlights of the area. Vijesh was a great guide, we have got a lot of information from him. I can only recommend the tour with him, great experience.

The morning session of walking tour to experience the local daily life of kochi was enchanting to me. Local tour guide Vijesh provided us such a good information. He made up our day with local history and culture of this city and finally we learned a lot more than a local people. We highly recommend this walking tour.
