Excellent guide, memorable tour of Fort Kochi - Biju was most fantastic guide. He estimated correctly we could do some walking but would see more easily if he hooks red up his mate who drove us all together in tuk tuk, since my partner is a little imbalanced and slow in walking. He took every good careof her and we saw all the recommended sites his knowledge bringing it all to life. It was a perfect introduction to fort kimchi where we spent a week. I loved seeing the drying and preservation of ginger and the women making candles for the church, St Francis, the Mattsncherry palace, the Hewish synagogue, everything opened our minds and hearts to Kochi, Biju loved home.

A Walk Through History - Biju is a local to the area, and that gave the whole experience a personal touch hard to come by. He conveyed just how much history was layered upon itself through the centuries of changing hands, and how that reflects Kochi as a melting pot today. He made the tour relaxing and approachable.

Excellent tour! - This is an excellent historical tour. Biju was knowledgeable and made everything so interesting. He took us to spots that were a bit off the beaten track in addition to the usual places. The pace of the tour and the level of detail in the information was just right. We would highly recommend Biju for any tour

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.
