Biju is humorous, very available and friendly and knows perfectly the neighborhoods of Cochin where he is a local celebrity. We recommend the experience.

I am glad we got to see Fort Kochi with Biju. He was so excited to show us his hometown. His English was very good, he knows his historical facts and presented them nicely. People always see the touristic places, but he also took us to the off beaten paths to show us the daily life of the working class. He helped us shop with all of our needs. Overall a terrific experience!

Highly recommend this tour company if you want to see the real Kochi area. Our guide, Shaji, was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Shaji was the key factor in making it such a great experience. All the stops were great. It was nice to hear the history of all the stops. Our guide even made sure we could stop and do some shopping and enjoy local snacks along the way. Being in a tuk tuk made the tour feel that much more authentic. Would recommend stopping for local snacks and buying spices. Take lots of pictures. Highly recommend!!
