We did a private car version of the tour and had a wonderful time! Biju was very knowledgeable about the sights and he modified our trip as per our interests and timing. He provided us with many interesting facts about each of the places visited, things we will take away and remember. The car was clean and in very good condition. Definitely recommend the trip for a short insight into Kochi’s history.

Amazing tour and guide. Dr Francis spoke excellent English and gave us great understanding of the history of Kochi and significance of the buildings while sharing how the locals live. He showed us his home and we met his beautiful 78 year old mother and 3 rescue dogs. We were also introduced to friends while on our walking tour. Such an authentic experience was incredible and the willingness to share his personal life was a highlight of our holiday and something we will never forget. Going to the Womens Co-operative to buy spices, tea and hand made crafts was also a highlight of the tour and our holiday. Such a great initiative and we hope our purchases help improve the lives of local women and families.

Our guide Dr Francis was exceptional with his local knowledge. His commitment to his local community and animal welfare made this tour feel very personal and allowed us a glimpse into the local people.

Great tour with a Biju who grew up and currently lives in Kochi. He speaks excellent English and has a vast knowledge of the city's history. Car with AC was much better than riding in a Tuk Tuk for us. Really enjoyed how he connected the history to the people who currently live in the city. Amazing that 16 different languages are spoken in one city. And people of different ethnic groups and religions all living in harmony together. He even had pictures of the city from growing up to show the changes. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our tour. Perfect for people who want to understand the many layered history of the Fort Kochin neighbourhoods from the distant to recent past. Biju is a true local and was able to take us to places we would not have been otherwise, that helped to bring the story of this historic place alive. Highly recommend.
