5.00Biju was a really fantastic guide, very knowledgable about Kochi’s history and current events, very friendly, helpful and happy to answer any of my questions. The tour included all the key places of interest in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry, and all at an unrushed pace, with plenty of opportunities for photos. I would thoroughly recommend this tour, and I learnt and saw so much, with my great guide.
Enjoyed walking tour with a great guide

A Fascinating and Insightful Heritage Walk with Biju

5.00A Fascinating and Insightful Heritage Walk with Biju We had a wonderful time on Biju’s Heritage Walking Tour around Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. It was fascinating to learn about the rich history of the area and Biju’s storytelling really brought the places and events to life. We especially appreciated being shown things we would never have discovered on our own - from the old spice warehouses to candle making and tailoring in the Jew Quarter. Biju’s friendly and engaging manner kept us interested throughout, and his passion for the area’s heritage truly shone through. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the real character and history of Fort Kochi.
Excellent tour!
