We've seen a lot of Kochi - Guide and driver were very sympathetic gentlemen with good English skills.
The tour was a good mix of everything Kochi has to offer. The information was relevant and entertaining. We didn't visit a beach, we're not interested. We definitely recommend the tour to anyone interested in culture and history.

Kochi with a local! - Today I had the pleasure of taking a guided tour around Kochi with Biju, and it was a highly enjoyable experience! Biju’s knowledge of the city’s history, culture and local customs was amazing. He was very friendly, accommodating, and always happy to answer questions about Kochi’s history.
The pace of the tour was just right—relaxed but informative, giving enough time at each stop. One of the highlights was his real passion for his city.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour with Biju if you’re looking to discover Kochi in an authentic and engaging way!

Colourful insights, rich history, delightful memories - Biju’s passion for his hometown of Kochi was evident. He was knowledgeable and creative in the way he laid out the narrative of Kochi’s origins and influences over the years. He added a few extra and unique stops during the tour which revealed some less known hut nevertheless interesting nuggets about the city and its inhabitants. Fully recommended!

Great tour! - This was a great tour! Informative, entertaining and interesting, our guide made sure we were able to see as much as possible even though we had to cut our tour short due to our other obligations. The driver was timely and very understanding of our schedule. I would highly recommend and would consider re-booking for the entire experience on my next trip to India.
