Had a good time being taken around Kochi central with Annandu our driver. It was just enough for us as we had flown overnight and wanted some distractions to keep us awake. He made it interesting and relevant to our needs and was a safe driver. Well worth asking for him if you book

Biju is humorous, very available and friendly and knows perfectly the neighborhoods of Cochin where he is a local celebrity. We recommend the experience.

I am glad we got to see Fort Kochi with Biju. He was so excited to show us his hometown. His English was very good, he knows his historical facts and presented them nicely. People always see the touristic places, but he also took us to the off beaten paths to show us the daily life of the working class. He helped us shop with all of our needs. Overall a terrific experience!

Highly recommend this tour company if you want to see the real Kochi area. Our guide, Shaji, was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Shaji was the key factor in making it such a great experience. All the stops were great. It was nice to hear the history of all the stops. Our guide even made sure we could stop and do some shopping and enjoy local snacks along the way. Being in a tuk tuk made the tour feel that much more authentic. Would recommend stopping for local snacks and buying spices. Take lots of pictures. Highly recommend!!

Asad took us around Fort Kochin, on our first full day in Kerala, in his perfectly air conditioned Ferrari! Asad was a superb tour guide and driver. He showed us all the main sights and looked after us so well, giving us plenty of time to see things in the area. Asad, was knowledgeable and he also looked after us for the rest of our trip in Fort Kochin over the 3 days - giving us the best return rides to and from our favourite places - and some restaurants we wanted to try. He knows the area very very well. He is a very nice man, friendly and welcoming - we are in gratitude to him. Thank you.

Biju was a font of historical and cultural anecdotes and facts. He should us dying arts like papad and candle making, off the beaten path venues with cheerfulness and passion! Ride with him. He’s a sweet native who is proud of his heritage.

My husband, myself and another couple pre booked this trip through Viator, due to delayed luggage (thanks Air India) we needed to postpone our tuk tuk tour, not a problem for Biju, they were very understanding, no extra charges for changing the booking. They picked us up from our hotel 5 minutes before scheduled time - tick, we quickly found out we were very lucky to have Mr Biju himself as our guide, he was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, Mr Biju took photos, gave us loads of information. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the tour, if you're lucky enough to get the Boss then you'll be very lucky. Thank you.

I had a wonderful time in Kuchi thanks to tour-guide Biju, who drove us in beautiful Kochi sites and told us many interesting stories and historical details about the city, with great knowledge and kindness. And he is also a great photographer ;-) I had only one day in Kuchi and thanks to Biju it was well spent. Highly recommended!

I was the only person doing the tour that day. Furthermore, it was raining very hard that day. Nonetheless, the guide was kind to still do the tour. He decided to use his tuktuk to take me around, which was nice. He also helped me with various things I requested.

We had a great time with Biju and I would recommend his tour. We travelled to Fort Kochi by ferry and Biju met us at the dock, he then explained the Chinese fishing nets before taking us on a tour around the fort area. We were travelling as a family, two children (11 yrs and 6yrs) and they both really enjoyed it, especially the rickshaw driving and the stop for Lime Soda. The tour covered not only the main historical buildings, but also took us to a number of local areas that you probably wouldn't find without a guide. Biju spoke really good English and was full of information on Fort Kochi (Having lived there all his life). If you are in Fort Kochi, check out Biju's tours.
