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 20 m or more across. Each structure is at least 10 m 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. Each installation 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.
Fort Kochi Beach
Fort Kochi beach is a beach along the Arabian Sea situated in Fort Kochi in the city of Kochi in South India, Kerala state.

5.00We had a wonderful time in Fort Kochi. Our amazing experience was definitely thanks to Mr Anoob who showed us the sights of the area and shared his knowledge with us. He also drove us to areas off the tourist trail so to experience real daily life, and nothing was of any trouble for him. We highly recommend Mr Anoob and this private tour company.
Great tour with a great driver ☺️

5.00Anoob from Tuk Tuk driver tours in Fort Kochin picked me up outside my hotel on Rose Street yesterday morning. He gave me a wonderful tour of the entire area over the course of 2.5 hours - bringing me to all the sights, beautiful monuments, temples, churches and palaces. Not only that but he stopped and waited while I took photos at my leisure and went in to several of the sights including a tour of the old Jewish Synagogue which was the final stop on our tour as well as the amazing Laundry factory. His English is excellent and his knowledge of the history and the heritage of the entire area is second to none and I was hugely impressed. The Tuk Tuk just whizzes around super fast and I’m sure that I experienced in those 2.5 hours with Anoob far more than i could possibly have done myself over a full day or even with an official tour guide. And he’s a very friendly and good-humoured man to booth. I highly recommend Anoob and Tuk Tuk driver tours in Kochin

5.00We drove with Samir and including a self-chosen meal it was a very entertaining and nice experience. Samir is good at explaining English and the most important thing about the locations. He also helps with personal problems such as stomach bowel discomfort 😉

5.00Jean and I spent a wonderful few hours with Abi, cruising around in his Queen of Kochi Tuk Tuk. We saw all of the main sights and went to several places we didn't expect, travelling through different residential areas and markets getting a snap shot of Abi's neighbourhood and daily life in Kochi. Even the occasional shopping stop was a fun part of the experience. Abi is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and we can highly recommend him.
A 5★ experience

5.00Ilias is a great driver. He put us together a nice tour, but he wasn't fixated on it either. He was entertaining and reliable. I would definitely stay again.
Let the good times flow!

5.00How is it that in five hours riding in a autorickshaw I learned so much about a culture and a city? The driver, Abi, was not only knowledgeable and efficient, but he showed so much care for my experience. We not only saw the markets, but we stopped to speak with some of the vendors. He took videos and photos with ease in moments he knew we're picture worthy, that I would have missed. He showed me churches, temples, and mosques, but also explained how so many different religions coexist in Kerala. The time flew by and I feel fulfilled with the time and energy spent during my time in Ft. Kochi. I highly recommend Abi and anyone he knows since he has integrity, shows care for not only his customers, but also vendors. The good flows in his presence. This is what is store for you!
No 1 tour guide!
