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.

5.00Magic Johnson is a lovely guy. He picked us up from our homestay and took us on a 3 hour auto-rickshaw drive around Kochi showing us lots of sights and providing fascinating information. He has a relaxed and friendly style. Plenty of opportunities to get out and walk around too. Highly recommended!
Great Tuk Tuk driver

5.00We have booked Johnson during three stays in Fort Kochi (2022, 2024 and 2025), and every time the experience has been outstanding. He is a very safe driver, extremely knowledgeable about Fort Kochi and the surrounding area, reliable, punctual, and it's a pleasure to spend time with him. Even though we know Fort Kochi quite well, he continues to surprise us with interesting hidden places. We truly enjoy exploring the region with Kim and can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Fort Kochi. We are already looking forward to our next trip with him.
A very interesting and various visit, highly recommendable!!

Tuk Tuk at its finest with Joseph Sebastian

5.00Joseph Sebastian is the best tuk tuk driver in Kochi!!! After a long Ayurveda treatment, we were on the road with his Ferrari tuk tuk: from the classic city tour to shopping tours and special transport. He taught us a lot of interesting facts and showed us all facets of this city. And the special thing was the infectious humor of Joseph Sebastian. We laughed a lot!!! A wonderful experience. In March 2026 we will be back in Kochi. Only with Joseph Sebastian, of course.
Great tuktuk tour
