Fort Kochi Walking Tour - A big thank you to Vijesh, our very knowledgeable guide. We were shown around the famous Chinese fishing nets, where we got involved in pulling up the nets and slowly lowering them, which was fun. Wandered around the fish market, visited St Francis Church, the Dutch and Jewish quarters, and the Dhobi Khana Public Laundry Service. All interesting places and it was a fun experience 😀. We even had time for a local drink to hydrate ourselves. It's a definite tour to book when visiting Fort Kochi.

Excellent morning with a knowledgable guide - We had an excellent morning with a very knowledgeable guide, we visited all the promised locations and the timings were adapted to meet our requirements ( it was very hot and we did not want time shopping in the Jewish quarter). All to time and the dinner was also very good. Would recommend

Highly recommended Walking tour. - I’ve been to Fort Kochi over 20 times, this was the first time we did a walking tour and it was the best decision ever. Vijayan is knowledgable, pleasant, funny, patient and has great communication skills. His passion is contagious and we wound up seeing so much more in 4 hours than, I have in all my visits combined Extremely happy with the service and would recommend Vijayan without a second thought!!!
