A great morning in Fort Kochi with Bijus - history, religion, culture and nature! - We had a fantastic tour of Fort Kochi with Bijus. In less than 4 hours we saw so many things. Bijus provided just the right level of detail - plenty of interesting facts without tooooo much information. Perfect for us. He talked about religion, history and culture, and even showed us where he went to school as a boy. The personal touches were very nice. Also Bijus spoke perfect English - easy to understand and very fluent. The air conditioned taxi had a separate driver who was never far away to pick us up - which is useful as it was very warm! We even managed to see 2 Kingfishers! A special touch for us. Thank you!

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!
