An interesting & enjoyable day - We had an excellent day out with Sudheer. First we went to see the fishermen arrive back with their catch of the day, then we moved onto the market where the fish is sold and met his dad. After we went to a village to see the traditional craft of boat building & coir. We ended the tour in the backwaters meeting a lovely local family

A fantastic day out experiencing the real Kochi - This tour was amazing, a real eye opener and brilliant way to see the real Kochi. We saw so many places we’d never have seen ourself and had a very special day. Shaji was amazing, so friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Top highlights were the spice market, fishing villages and launderette. We really went off the beaten track and had a brilliant day out. Will definitely recommend to others. Thank you!!!

Biju's tour - Biju brought me to many places in Cochin showing me a snippet the life of the people- for example we went to a spice market and a launderette. It was so interesting to see how the people lived and everyone was welcoming. He was very informative, telling the history of each place as we moved along. Really nice tour, if you have a day in fort Cochin I would advise this tour. Nice man and interesting tour.

Amazing Trip - A fantastic way to see the real Fort Kochi. The guides were really knowledgeable and friendly. They made multiple unscheduled stops to allow for photos. The boat building and mat making stops were exceptional Highly recommended
