Great experience for kochi - Bijus tours provided an excellent experience from beginning to end. The booking and pick up process was extremely efficient. Our tour guide Azad was extremely accommodating with our needs. He showed us all the important sights and also took us to local places to enhance our experience. Lunch place was delicious and extremely affordable. The spice place supported women’s initiatives was a great place to take us also. Azad did a great job to make our experience a positive one

Great experience in Kochi - We were lucky enough that Biju had openings to accommodate our group of 8 for a city tour. What a great day it turned out to be. Biju and his staff were professional and very informative. They not only took us to all of the highlights of the city, they took us to places the tourist would never see unless they were lucky enough to see the city with a local.
The day was very hot and humid and the locals live this and they have a smile on their face. We were very grateful for the experience. Do your self a favor. Don’t pass up this opportunity with a great company!

Kathi Velus is the man! We loved him👍 - Kathi Velus was our guide for the day. He could not have been more accommodating and friendly. He took us to places that we would have never seen on our own or with a private bus from the cruise ship.
He was so proud of his city and the amazing things to be seen. When it was time to stop, he would let us know by saying “looking” and it never disappointed.
He was such a kind and sweet man.
I encourage you took book this tour and please tip your driver at the end. While ten dollars doesn’t mean that much to us, it was a huge amount of money to him. He was so grateful!

Fantastic trip - Our driving Benshab was just the best, we asked to be shown the real cochin and that is what he did, down little roads, to back street markets as well as some favourite sights of his. Loved every minute, from smooth pick up at port to drop off. Highly recommend

Kochi and its people, close up! - Driving through the streets of Kochi was fabulous. Seeing how the people of this part of the world live day-in, day-out. Pulling the old Chinese fishing nets out the water was fun. Our driver was lovely and wasn’t pushy at all which was really appreciated.

Great tour in Cochin by tuk tuk - We had 2 tuk tuk driver/guides from Biju’s Travel in Cochin for around 5 hours.
They were brilliant.They took us across the city to a wide variety of places including many different places of worship,museum,shopping streets,beach,Chinese fishing nets,spice market,candle factory and also stopped at interesting sites like the lady sitting on the street making popadoms!!
We would definitely recommend them

Best choice to see the old Fort Kochi - This was the best decision I took this morning, to take a Tuk-Tuk and see the old Fort Kochi on a hot day, when walking everywhere under the heat of the sun would have been impossible. My driver, Saifil, was excellent. Very polite and friendly, he knew what to show me, where to go, how much to tip, what places were worth seeing, what shops were special (even if you don't buy anything). He waited patiently for me to visit every place, he was very knowledgeable, I think I was lucky to run into him. Tuk-Tuks are a very nice way to see the city.

Extremely disappointing. - There were no memorable parts. The Tuktuk was old and rattling..not at all like the flower bedecked modern tuktuk shown in your promotional photograph.
The driver/guide was a very niice man but his English was very poor and he seemed reluctant and unenthusiastic.
I feel that you should compensate us with at a least a 50% refund for a missed opportunity that we we will never be able to recover.
Please note that
I expect a response to my comments.

Tuk Tuk travels - The tour is advertised as having English speaking guides. The guide had very basic English so we didn't find out a lot. We had no idea of an itinerary from the guide. We visited far too many shops where there was pressure to buy.
