Fantastic trip! Great driver! - Fantastic experience. Asad our driver spoke excellent English and took us to the places as advertised and then some. He never rushed us and took time to explain lots about locales and Keralian culture. Heavily recommend Asad.

Awesome tour of the Old Town of Kochi - We did the Old Town Kochi tour with Biju. He showed his home town to us and I saw it through his eyes! I learned a lot about the place and the rich culture. It was awesome and I love it! Thank you, Biju!

A wonderful comprehensive tour of a gorgeous city - We hugely enjoyed this incredibly comprehensive tour of Kochi!
Our guide was incredibly lovely and knowledgable, and the tuk tuk was really fun and comfortable!
The whole thing is great value, too - and includes entry to all the attractions listed. We even got to taste some chai and browse markets.
Would recommend early on in your visit as it is a great introduction and helps you get your bearings!

A great introduction to Kochi - We had great communication from Biju before the tour began. Use whatsapp if you have it. Our flight was delayed and he updated our tour time to accommodate the delay.
The 7 of us were in three tuk-tuks or "Indian Ferrari" as they like to call them.
We went as a group and the tour was a great introduction to Kochi. There are some optional shopping stops (fruits, spices, handcrafts) with no pressure to buy anything.
We had enough time to enjoy the museum as well.
We all agreed that we would recommend all 3 of our drivers: Asad, Freddy, and Sudheer. They all added commentary and gave us good tips on Kochi.

True taste of local life - I had the pleasure of experiencing a tuk tuk tour in Kochi and it was truly a memorable experience. My driver Kumar was friendly, knowledgeable, and took me to all the must-see spots in the city. The sights, sounds, and smells of the city came alive during the tour, giving me a true taste of local life. I highly recommend a tuk tuk tour in Kochi for anyone looking to explore the city in a unique and exciting way.

Great guide - Meeting biju! Such a nice human. Friendly, loves his city and sharing information about its history and culture. I really enjoyed talking to him
He is also very considerate, unfortunately I had hurt my knee so struggled walking but he accommodated that and would ask if I wanted to stop and happy to add/remove places, I.e he was happy for me to get some shopping! Highly recommended
