Excellent choice!

5.00We are so glad that we booked this tour - as noted by others, Biju was outstanding, engaging, knowledgable and a wonderful ambassador for his hometown of Kochi. Additionally, we booked pretty late and needed modifications reducing the time of the tour by a few hours - he was so responsive and flexible, and honestly, the tour was still so comprensive and yet relaxed, that we feel we saw it all, and learned so much. Our driver Justin was excellent, and contributed to our learning too - expert driver and very kind. Totally recommend this tour of beautiful, multi-cultural Kochi!
Good private tour

5.00Abdul is very knowledgeable and gave us a good experience. The mini bus we travelled on was very comfortable. The Chinese Fishing Nets were especially interesting. My only criticism is that Abdul needs to speak louder. We could only hear him if we were right next to him.
Perfect introduction to Kochi

5.00Biju was an excellent tour guide. He was immaculately presented and had deep and interesting knowledge of his home town, which he shared very effectively. In addition, he was very helpful and flexible, and responsive to our input. A clean car with a great driver completed the package. Highly recommended.
Great tour, fab guide and driver.

5.00We booked the ‘best of cochi’ private tour at 24hrs notice to the provider, not knowing what to expect we were very pleasantly surprised. The company was very prompt at responding to us and providing this tour, our driver Thoufeek was friendly and we were very impressed with his skills at navigating the chaotic traffic, also very happy to have NOT been in a Tuk Tuk due to the heat, dust and traffic and glad we spent the extra money for a an air conditioned car. Viju our guide was very knowledgeable and informative but he adapted the tour to our preferences, not too much info but just enough! honestly couldn’t fault today. We had a fabulous time, even my husband who hates tours!
Wonderful experience

5.00It is a must to have a guide for this tour. Our guide, Biju, explained the history, culture, and details about each place we visited. Specifically the Mattancherry Museum and the Jewis Synagogue.

5.00"We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Biju! Our driver picked us up from our hotel promptly and explained sites on the way to Fort Kochi where we met Biju. Biju was welcoming, friendly and accommodating throughout the tour. As he has lived in Kochi his whole life, he is extremely knowledgeable about the area and proud of his heritage and wants to share it with the world. He gave great detail of the history of Fort Kochi, architecture and cultural significance and answered all of our questions! We truly felt that we learned about the area, history and culture of what we were seeing and highly recommend the tour."

5.00Pre 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

5.00Had 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.
