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!!Asad took us around Fort Kochin, on our first full day in Kerala, in his perfectly air conditioned Ferrari! Asad was a superb tour guide and driver.

Asad took us around Fort Kochin, on our first full day in Kerala, in his perfectly air conditioned Ferrari! Asad was a superb tour guide and driver. He showed us all the main sights and looked after us so well, giving us plenty of time to see things in the area. Asad, was knowledgeable and he also looked after us for the rest of our trip in Fort Kochin over the 3 days - giving us the best return rides to and from our favourite places - and some restaurants we wanted to try. He knows the area very very well. He is a very nice man, friendly and welcoming - we are in gratitude to him. Thank you.My husband, myself and another couple pre booked this trip through Viator, due to delayed luggage (thanks Air India) we needed to postpone our tuk tuk tour, not a problem for Biju, they were very understanding, no extra charges for changing the booking.

My husband, myself and another couple pre booked this trip through Viator, due to delayed luggage (thanks Air India) we needed to postpone our tuk tuk tour, not a problem for Biju, they were very understanding, no extra charges for changing the booking. They picked us up from our hotel 5 minutes before scheduled time - tick, we quickly found out we were very lucky to have Mr Biju himself as our guide, he was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, Mr Biju took photos, gave us loads of information. I'd have no hesitation in recommending the tour, if you're lucky enough to get the Boss then you'll be very lucky. Thank you.I had a wonderful time in Kuchi thanks to tour-guide Biju, who drove us in beautiful Kochi sites and told us many interesting stories and historical details about the city, with great knowledge and kindness.

I had a wonderful time in Kuchi thanks to tour-guide Biju, who drove us in beautiful Kochi sites and told us many interesting stories and historical details about the city, with great knowledge and kindness. And he is also a great photographer ;-) I had only one day in Kuchi and thanks to Biju it was well spent. Highly recommended!I was the only person doing the tour that day. Furthermore, it was raining very hard that day. Nonetheless, the guide was kind to still do the tour. He decided to use his tuktuk to take me around, which was nice. He also helped me with various things I requested.
