A great time in Kochi - Had an amazing time in Kochi with our great guide Sebastian. He showed us all the town highlights and provided knowledgeable commentary at each stop. I particularly appreciated that he took us to several crafts stores so I could find the exact items I was seeking. And he suggested a stop at a perfume factory that was interesting and rewarding. He made a special effort to accommodate my husband who has mobility issues which was much appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience in every way.

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.
