Being a Malayali living abroad, this tour gave me new appreciation for Kochi's rich heritage. The guide's knowledge was exceptional. Highly recommend for history lovers!
What a fantastic introduction to Kerala! The walking tour was perfectly paced, and our guide brought Fort Kochi's history to life. The Chinese fishing nets at sunset were magical. Perfect weekend escape from Bangalore.
Great heritage tour covering all the major sites. Loved the stories about Dutch, Portuguese, and Jewish history. Only suggestion - include a traditional Kerala breakfast experience.
