Must do tour!

Rachna_S, Dec 2023
Rajiv our guide was amazing! We had a great time learning about Fort Kochi and the rich history. He knew so much about architecture and flora and fauna. He joyously shared his city. He was even very patient and flexible when we needed a break from the heat and the tour! Take this tour! It was great! Bring water and hat and wear lots of sunscreen!

Highly recommended

The guide was very knowledgeable and the company accommodated us, starting an hour late. Being a person who like history, I enjoyed my time time with the guide. Some explanations at the palace museum were a bit lengthy, but we were able to hit the top things including the church before its closing time :. We had a small side talk about the difference between Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo and Pedro Álvares Cabral. The guide gave us a good local food recommendation at the end.
