        Best Tour and Tour Guide
        Amazing tour and guide. Dr Francis spoke excellent English and gave us great understanding of the history of Kochi and significance of the buildings while sharing how the locals live. He showed us his home and we met his beautiful 78 year old mother and 3 rescue dogs. We were also introduced to friends while on our walking tour. Such an authentic experience was incredible and the willingness to share his personal life was a highlight of our holiday and something we will never forget. Going to the Womens Co-operative to buy spices, tea and hand made crafts was also a highlight of the tour and our holiday. Such a great initiative and we hope our purchases help improve the lives of local women and families.

        Best tour so far
        Our guide Dr Francis was exceptional with his local knowledge. His commitment to his local community and animal welfare made this tour feel very personal and allowed us a glimpse into the local people.

        Wonderful tour!!
        The tour was WONDERFUL, and Jerald was so kind and knowledgeable, answered all of our questions beautifully, with the historical and cultural context, and really gave us a good sense of Fort Kochi! He was a pleasure to speak to and learn from. Even though it rained on and off, we took breaks when it was too heavy and finished the tour without skipping any of the beautiful sights! We highly recommend this tour to anyone, as it was one of the highlights of our trip!

        Many things to see and visit.
        When picked up at the cruise ship, the driver was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain all the venues visited. Great to see the different cultures and venues. Not as busy as Mumbai with time to drive around and see what you wanted. Time was available to go to the different locations.

        Biju a great guide; tour in nice car with AC
        Great tour with a Biju who grew up and currently lives in Kochi. He speaks excellent English and has a vast knowledge of the city's history. Car with AC was much better than riding in a Tuk Tuk for us. Really enjoyed how he connected the history to the people who currently live in the city. Amazing that 16 different languages are spoken in one city. And people of different ethnic groups and religions all living in harmony together. He even had pictures of the city from growing up to show the changes. Highly recommend.

        Brought the city to life. 10/10 recommend. Best way to see and learn about the city
        Brilliant insightful tour of both 1) Fort Kochi & 2) Jew Town. Biju is knowledgable, kind and always willing to answer your questions. The route is very good and cleverly orchestrated. I would recommend this tour to everyone as a way to see the big sights & learn about the rich history that brings the city to life. Thanks Biju for a great tour!

        One of the best guided tours I ever had
        Biju is so passionate about history and his city Kochi. You can tell he is a local by his knowledge and love for the place. He showed us everything going on there from the colonialist architecture to the process of making spices! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kochi

        Great experience
        We had a great time with Biju our guide who taught us lots about the culture and history of Kochi. We saw lots of different things and Biju adapted the tour to suit what we wanted to see. The tour lasted around 5 hours - longer than the advertised time - but we appreciated Biju spending more time to show us around. The tour was on the pricier side compared with tours we’ve done in other cities - but did include a tuktuk ride & chai / snack stop.

        Amazing day tour in Cochin
        Had an amazing private day in Cochin with our wonderful Tuk Tuk driver and tour guide Sabeer!! We got to see all of the highlights, took a private boat tour, saw the local wildlife. Throughout the tour Sabeer was brilliant, showing us all the local sites. Would definitely recommend!

        Do this tour! You won't know Kochi wandering, Buji knows his stuff!
        Fabulous tour! Buji is so knowledgeable about his home town and happy to answer all questions. I know feel I know old Kochi so well. Be prepared to run over time as he will just keep talking as long as you want to listen, but you really won't mind. Such a nice man!

      Booked thro Trip Advisor. Met at port gates as per booking instruction and taken by car to Tuk Tuk at garage near to town. This saved on traveling all the way from the port to Cochin city by Tuk Tuk.Visited all the places on the ships equivalent bus tour at half the price with much more fun. As it was very hot when we had enough just asked to be taken back to the ship. Only downside was the drivers (we had 2 Tuk Tuks for 4 of us) had very little English.

      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!

      We really enjoyed this tour, pickup from the cruise terminal was on-time, actually early, we were transported out of the cruise terminal where we met out Tuk Tuk driver/guide who was very pleasant and accommodating. Our Tuk Tuk was gas fuelled so for conservationists zero emmissions which was good.
      We saw all the sights that were defined in the program at our pace and the driver explained what we needed to know. His English was not the best, but we could understand him. It all made for a very enjoyable excursion. I would recommend Biju's travel and this tour.

      We were met at the cruise terminal by looking for the red umbrella and the transferred to our Tuk Tuk driver Ashkar. We adapted the tour to cover the places of interest to us and omitted some visits which we didn't want to do. Felt that we had seen so much of Kochi which it appears that other cruise passengers had not experienced on their coach tours. Ashkar was an excellent driver and guide and looked after us very well.

      Loved it. Was great fun and a great way to see the city quickly and independently. The great thing is if we didn't want to see something we told the driver and we moved on. We were never rushed. It made us laugh when he just pushed the vehicle into parking spaces. The only downside was that the drivers english was not that good although he looked after us and was fun. It would have been better if we didn't have to get a minibus to our transport. All in all good fun

      We were 3 couples in separate TukTuks traveling around Kochi together. The tour was wonderful which was made so by our fabulous drivers/tour guides. Besides being informative, they were very attentive to the needs of the members of our group. I would recommend this tour wholeheartedly.

      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

      We were picked up from the port by Sudheer lovely man. Enjoyed being driven round in a tuk tuk. Great breeze. He explained everywhere we visited. He got us some fruit. Went to a shop hilarious guy trying to sell me carpet and jewellery. We saw spice market and candle making. A lovely beach. He took us to jew town as I wanted to see the synagogue. We went to the laundry and the fishing nets. When he dropped us back he had got us a fridge magnet of the synagogue which was lovely of him. Trip took about 5 hours really enjoyed it

      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.

      We have been to kochi a few times before and have seen many of the sights so I wanted something different. I was not dissappointed with this tour. He was very knowledgeable and found different things for us to see. Also, being from the local area he knew of where would be other things to see. I really enjoyed this tour and the tuk tuk ride was an good experience. His Engish was very good and he was very pleased to show us his city.
