The best bay to see Fort Kochi and Mattancherry is by Tuk Tuk, The area is full of historical delights and a rich mix of culture , but to get there means travelling through many narrow streets. Tuk tuk tours are the only way to see the area. Your driver will be attentive to your needs and take you where ever you are interested to go. These tours are a great and safe and hassle free way to get to know this wonderful and very interesting town. The driver speaks good English and knows the area like the back of his hand.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: tickets and entrance fees

I highly recommend Ajee as your tuk tuk driver. He is dependable and a skilled driver. He is also easy to talk to and such a pleasant person. Ajee is easy to contact and via WhatsApp texting and he replies within minutes or as soon as he can. He can take you anywhere and has lots of great ideas and information for you.

My wife and I encountered Joyce on a houseboat cruise boat on the Kerala backwaters. Joyce was very clear and straightforward in his explanations of Kerala and its history, and given his 17 years of tour experience, had answers to all of our questions. We liked Joyce so much we hired him for an additional day to tour us around Cochin to see several sights (beach resort, Maharaja Palace, heritage museum, Fort Kochi, etc). Joyce was very flexible in adapting the tour so we could see what we wanted (more historical sites than massages or resorts), and he arrived early and catered completely to our needs. Will recommend Joyce to any of our friends that visit Kerala.
