5.00Absolutely amazing. Our parents are from Kerala and we had a basic understanding of the history of Kochi and the state but Bijju opened our eyes to details and facts about which we had no clue. He’s clearly passionate about Fort Kochi and knows a ton about the city. You don’t just look at buildings and hear dry facts. You get a true understanding of life in Ft Kochi. I 100% recommend the tour. On a side note, I booked for a Thursday but meant to book for a Wednesday and was on the way to the meeting point when I realized the mistake. Bijju graciously accommodated my snafu and changed his plans!
Great Experience

5.00We had a great experience with this Biju’s tour, the entire family enjoyed it. Kochi is Biju’s native town, he knows every corner, every one, every mark of the town’s history and heritage and before everything, Biju is an incredible kind person who loves to share and discuss with other people. During the 3 hours city tour, Biju not only took us to the must-see places, putting them into historical and cultural perspective, but he also chose to show us places where the city's residents live daily, giving us a better understanding of the Kochi way of life. Those three hours passed very quickly. A unique, high-quality experience in South India. Our top: go directly to Biju’s website, you’ll get a better price!

5.00Biju was most fantastic guide. He estimated correctly we could do some walking but would see more easily if he hooks red up his mate who drove us all together in tuk tuk, since my partner is a little imbalanced and slow in walking. He took every good careof her and we saw all the recommended sites his knowledge bringing it all to life. It was a perfect introduction to fort kimchi where we spent a week. I loved seeing the drying and preservation of ginger and the women making candles for the church, St Francis, the Mattsncherry palace, the Hewish synagogue, everything opened our minds and hearts to Kochi, Biju loved home.
