Great experience! - A great tour of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. The tour operator, Mr. Biju was very knowledgeable and courteous. He is a great storyteller and keeps the audience engrossed with fascinating insights into the history of these historic enclaves. Highly recommended for people who like walking and exploring historic sites.

10 / 10 tour - Kochi is my new favourite city thanks to Biju and this amazing tour - My family and I received the walking tour of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry with Biju and we fell in love with the place! Fort Kochi already has so much energy and vibrancy but Biju brought the history and stories to life. A local lad who has an immense passion for his city and history, and his pride shines through to make him one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. I’ve recommended all who have asked about my trip to India to visit Kochi as a first port of call, and to go on a tour with Biju! He was also so helpful in helping us book other trips after our walking tour as well. 10 out of 10 service.

Fantastic Tour Guide - I had Biju, my new favourite tour guide/ photographer/ Cochin wikipedia the previous day for his Tuk Tuk tour around the town. So I was only delighted to have him again today for the walking tour where I gained further understanding of the Dutch, Portugese, English, South Indian history that occurred over the last 1000 years in Fort Kochin. He is such a kind, good humoured and very welcoming man to the town and made me feel very comfortable. I'd only be delighted to come back again!

Superb Heritage walk! - We did the Heritage walk with Biju on the 18th of August 2024. He is very knowledgeable about the history of this place and never seemed to be in a hurry. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and frankly although the walk was to be for 3 hours only - it easily extended well beyond that. Highly recommend this tour or else the rich history of this place will escape a tourist. Biju was fabulous! Thank you, Biju.

Great experience. Would definitely recommend - Had a lovely time. Bijus knowledge of the history of Fort Kochi and this area is encyclopaedic. We bombarded him with questions and he answered every one of them. I highly recommend this tour.

Friendly and informative walking tour. - Biju started the tour with us and was great but unfortunately had to leave due to an urgent family matter. Shaji took over and was equally as good. Friendly and informative. I would highly recommend both guides.
