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!!!

An encounter with the history of Kochi and India. - Very nice memories overall. We enjoyed the refreshing walk along the sea and watched fishermen catching fish using the chinese nets. The palace of the Maharaja on the hills was also impressive. We learned a lot about the history of the region thanks to our energetic and passionate guide. My son lost his back bag during the visit and we managed to get it back thanks to the efforts of Vijesh Sir.
