What To Expect
Chinese Fishing Nets
Chinese fishing nets(Cheena vala)are a type of stationary lift net in India. They are fishing nets that are fixed land installations for fishing. While commonly known as Chinese fishing nets in India, the more formal name for such nets is shore operated lift nets. Huge mechanical contrivances hold out horizontal nets of 20m or more across. Each structure is at least 10m high and comprises a cantilever with an outstretched net suspended over the sea and large stones suspended from ropes as counterweights at the other end which is operated by a team of up to six fishermen. While such nets are used throughout coastal southern China and Indochina, in India they are mostly found in the Indian cities of Kochi and Kollam, where they have become a tourist attraction. This way of fishing is unusual in India and almost unique to the area, as it was introduced by Chinese explorers who landed there in the 14th century. Indeed, one interpretation of city name Kochi is ‘co-chin', meaning like China.
Church of Saint Francis
St. Francis Church, in Fort Kochi (Fort Cochin), Kochi, originally built in 1503, is one of the oldest European churches in India and has great historical significance as a mute witness to the European colonial struggle in the subcontinent.The Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama died in Kochi in 1524 when he was on his third visit to India. His body was originally buried in this church, but after fourteen years his remains were removed to Lisbon.

5.00I had an excellent experience with Safeer. He is a reliable, friendly, and professional tuk-tuk driver and guide. From the moment he picked us up, he made us feel safe and comfortable. His knowledge of the local area, culture, and attractions added great value to the trip. The transportation was punctual, clean, and well organized, making it easy to explore the destination without any worries. Safeer was always helpful, respectful, and willing to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend Safeer to cruise passengers and travelers looking for a trustworthy guide and transport service. His dedication and excellent customer service made our experience truly memorable.

5.00Safeer bhai ❤️ Thank you so much for making our Kochi trip so memorable. Honestly, you didn’t feel like just a guide — you felt like a friend throughout the journey 🤝✨ Your nature, guidance, care, and the way you helped us everywhere was truly amazing. And the honesty shown by you and your team regarding the extra ticket payment really touched our hearts. Nowadays very few people themselves call and refund money like this 🙏💯 Had a wonderful experience with you bhai. Wishing you lots of success and happiness ahead. Keep shining brother 🌴

5.00Safeer was a great tour guide. He showed us so many amazing aspects of Kochi that we would have never discovered on our own. He explained a lot about Kerala’s rich culture in a way that was simple, engaging, and easy to understand. We especially loved how he introduced us to Kochi’s hidden gems and gave us great insights into the Biennale. The whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable, and his friendly nature made it even better. Highly recommended!
Excellent tour!

5.00Safeer made the tour to a unique experience. He gave us informative facts about Kochi and its history but also cultural and personal ones. He is a very open minded and friendly guy whose highest priority is to make his guest happy. When we passed a cafe we took the time to sit down and have a little rest. He even gave us the chance to try popular local drinks. We can highly recommend Safeer’s tour!

A Perfect Way to Experience Kochi Like a Local

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Kochi Sightseeing Tuk-Tuk Tour with Safeer, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the very beginning, the homestay pickup was smooth and right on time, which set the tone for a hassle-free day. Exploring Fort Kochi in a tuk-tuk is honestly the best way to soak in the charm of the city with its humid weather 😛. The ride takes you through beautiful streets, heritage spots, and iconic locations like the Chinese Fishing Nets, Mattancherry Palace, and the vibrant local markets. The flexibility of the tour made it even better—we could stop wherever we liked, take photos, and truly enjoy the moment at our own pace. What stood out the most was Shafeer, our guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our experience memorable, he shared interesting stories, helped us plan our stops efficiently, and even suggested hidden gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own. That personal touch made a huge difference. The overall experience felt very authentic—not just a sightseeing tour, but a glimpse into the local culture and lifestyle of Kochi. It’s clear why these tours are so highly rated and loved by travelers.
