A lovely informative tour - We really enjoyed this tour - informative and a great way to get an insight from a very well informed and pleasant local guide Biju. We didn’t have much time in Kochi so it was great see all the sights in a morning.

Best Guided Tour of Fort Kochi & Mattacherry - Biju's Tours - We had one of the most amazing experiences about learning and knowing more about Kochi and Kerala from Biju! I have never seen someone with so much knowledge and yet so humble. I was literally blown by the way he curated everything and step by step we went from one place to the other engrossed in the stories of the past. Another great quality of him is that he is a very good listener, catches everything and promptly shares each part again if we miss any detail. I will highly recommend Biju's Tours for the best learning and tour experience of Fort Kochi & Mattacherry!

A delightful walk through time, where each step reveals a hidden gem. - If anyone wants to really know the culture and history of the Fort Kochi then I will highly recommend Biju's heritage tour. His love for his birth place and Indian history reflects in how he conducts the tour for everyone. One can feel the energy and enthusiasm. We are extremely grateful that we took the heritage tour with him and now I can at least tell the past events in chronological order. The Fort Kochi is beyond the checklist of must to do things and Biju's heritage walk is the need of an hour to feel and understand the complexities and happenings of the past which shaped our present. Thank you so much Biju for sharing the knowledge and information with us and helping us to know the Fort Kochi from depth.

Informative and enjoyable - Biju is a very sweet and patient tour guide who gave us a lot of historic info about Kochi. It was fascinating to learn about Kochi since ancient times from a person who has lived in the area all his life. I highly recommend this tour, especially for people new to Kochi.

A recommended introduction to a great place. - A very interesting trip, partly on foot and partly by tuk tuk which enabled us to see a lot. An excellent introduction into the history of Kochi. I never felt rushed and I was delighted at the respect shown by the guide who told me a lot about the religious buildings we went into before we entered, which meant we did not disrespect the ' Silence please' signs as other guided groups appeared to do. A truly local guide who is full of insight.
