Pre tour communication was very good and pick up on time. The guide was knowledgeable and local to the area, so had alot of insight into Kochi present and past.The tour was so varied and included so many different experiences. Who knew a laundry could be so interesting and the candle making and spice drying and packing an unexpected highlight along with all the top sights.
A great time in Kochi

Had an amazing time in Kochi with our great guide Sebastian. He showed us all the town highlights and provided knowledgeable commentary at each stop. I particularly appreciated that he took us to several crafts stores so I could find the exact items I was seeking. And he suggested a stop at a perfume factory that was interesting and rewarding. He made a special effort to accommodate my husband who has mobility issues which was much appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience in every way.
Highly Recommend!

Nice experience to have an overview and conversation with Kochi locals. I enjoy the stories, building and shoppings at locals.

We had a fantastic tour of Fort Kochi with Bijus. In less than 4 hours we saw so many things. Bijus provided just the right level of detail - plenty of interesting facts without tooooo much information. Perfect for us. He talked about religion, history and culture, and even showed us where he went to school as a boy. The personal touches were very nice. Also Bijus spoke perfect English - easy to understand and very fluent. The air conditioned taxi had a separate driver who was never far away to pick us up - which is useful as it was very warm! We even managed to see 2 Kingfishers! A special touch for us. Thank you!
Great snapshot of a fascinating place

The tour gave a great snapshot of the Fort Kochi area's rich history and culture as well as Kerala's unique place in India's story. Our guide, Sunil, was extremely informative, accommodating and thoughtful. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Kochi for the first time.

This is a truly excellent tour. Biju was extremely friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about his hometown. The history was fascinating and presented with the unique depth that only a local guide can provide. I highly recommend this tour. It was a pleasure from pick-up to drop-off. Five plus stars.

Guide and driver were very sympathetic gentlemen with good English skills. The tour was a good mix of everything Kochi has to offer. The information was relevant and entertaining. We didn't visit a beach, we're not interested. We definitely recommend the tour to anyone interested in culture and history.
