5.005 Star Tour Biju was an excellent host, interesting & interested in us too. He gave us a comprehensive tour of Fort Cochin & the surrounding area. We were fortunate to see the Chinese fishing nets in action as well as Fort Cochin landmarks & churches. He was extremely knowledgeable telling stories about everything we saw. We took an auto across town to see the Dutch Palace, where maps & wall stories were an excellent visual guide, finishing with a visit to the oldest Jewish Synagogue in Cochin. Having our personal guide made such a difference to our understanding of where we were & a memorable experience. One that should not be missed to have lasting memories of Cochin. We have no hesitation in recommending Biju as your guide! Thank you!
A great tour, a wonderful guide

5.00We were very happy with the guide who took us around, Ashker. The insights that he provided and the history that he shared, not only of Kochi but also the rest of India as it related to Kochi, these were very valuable and we learned a lot. His style was engaging and his passion for his vocation was impressive and infectious. Thank you, Ashker.

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Sebastian. He was very knowledgeable about Kochi and tailored our tour to us, ie adding time at a local cafe when the Synagogue was closed for the Sabbath. He knew the nooks and crannies of Kochi and guided us very well.
Great walking tour

It brings you to all the main spots of fork Kochi and mattancherry, the guide is very helpful and answered the 100 questions, and gave me a comprehensive story of the city, as well as carefully explained the frescos inside the Dutch Palace.
