Great visit of Trivandrum with an amazing guide ! - I definitely recommend this tour of Trivandrum !
We were a group of 6 French people visiting the city.
Biju has been a great guide for us, super easy to understand, with a nice personnality and taking time to answer all our questions. He is very knowledgeable, with an acute view of his country.
We walked around the neighborhood having a look at the museum, library, different churches/temples, and the market.
Do not hesitate.

Enjoyable couple of hours walk learning about history and everyday life - I’d already walked around the temple area in a previous visit but it was good to learn more about the history and culture. Naveen was a great guide, very informative and got us into a good position for the temple ceremony he took us to.

What a wonderful young man - What a wonderful young man!
Bijou was both knowledgeable, charming and just someone who clearly exudes passion for what he does.
Instructions for meeting were clear.
A very friendly approach at the start put us at immediate ease.
Patient, clear, precise and humanistic would be qualities we’d add.
He walks you around various sites and explains the history, answers questions with diplomacy and great thought.
Highlights include the temple, the market and museum but a clear highlight was meeting Bijou too.
Thanks so much and we highly recommend going on this walking tour.

Biju, the highlight of Trivandrum! - This was the highlight of our day in Trivandrum. Biju was an amazing guide with endless knowledge about Indian history and culture. He answered to all our questions (and there were a lot!) and shared very interesting facts about monuments, the royal family and political landscape, the colonial and religious story of the country, education and family life and so much more. In 2h we learned so much that we wished we were recording the whole tour :)
We definitely recommend Biju to anyone wanting to have a great guided experience in Trivandrum!
Thank you so much, Biju 🙏

Waste of money and time - It was memorable loss of money and time. It was not walking cultural tour. It was Highway walking without any feel of city.

Waste of money and time - Walking tours are supposed to be taken the areas of cultural treasures like one in Ahmedabad.. This tour walks on Highway with nothing to know. People conducting such tours should learn what is expected from them. Our money and time was total waste.

thumbs down - We booked a tour at 0900. They asked me for whatsapp number and telephone number, which i gave. At 2300 the evening before, they cancelled for "personal" reasons. The message was send only via tripadvisor, so we didnt get it. What a waste of (taxi) time, while they had my phone number and whatsapp number. It seems that more people have this experience with them...
