Informative and fun! - Biju is a very competent local guide, clearly proud (and rightly so!) of his home town. Very generous with his knowledge and his time (our tour overran, as we were enjoying it so much!)

Wonderful tour!! - The tour was WONDERFUL, and Jerald was so kind and knowledgeable, answered all of our questions beautifully, with the historical and cultural context, and really gave us a good sense of Fort Kochi! He was a pleasure to speak to and learn from. Even though it rained on and off, we took breaks when it was too heavy and finished the tour without skipping any of the beautiful sights! We highly recommend this tour to anyone, as it was one of the highlights of our trip!

Brought the city to life. 10/10 recommend. Best way to see and learn about the city - Brilliant insightful tour of both 1) Fort Kochi & 2) Jew Town. Biju is knowledgable, kind and always willing to answer your questions. The route is very good and cleverly orchestrated. I would recommend this tour to everyone as a way to see the big sights & learn about the rich history that brings the city to life. Thanks Biju for a great tour!

Do this tour! You won't know Kochi wandering, Buji knows his stuff! - Fabulous tour! Buji is so knowledgeable about his home town and happy to answer all questions. I know feel I know old Kochi so well. Be prepared to run over time as he will just keep talking as long as you want to listen, but you really won't mind. Such a nice man!

Seeped in history - If you are into history, this trip is worth millions. I wish this trip was 6 hours and we would still enjoy it. Byju is passionate about history around Fort Kochi and seamlessly weaves stories to recreate the past as he meanders his guests through the stops. He is just well paced and very respectful of his guests at the same time being friendly. Complete 5 star story telling.

Great experience - We had a great time with Biju our guide who taught us lots about the culture and history of Kochi. We saw lots of different things and Biju adapted the tour to suit what we wanted to see. The tour lasted around 5 hours - longer than the advertised time - but we appreciated Biju spending more time to show us around. The tour was on the pricier side compared with tours we’ve done in other cities - but did include a tuktuk ride & chai / snack stop.
