3 Hour Private Fort Kochi and Mattancherry Walking Tour
Travel back in time and through the streets as you follow your expert guide between the Chinese fishing nets, Jewish Synagogue and Mattancherry Palace!
A private tour of tranquil Cochin on the tropical Malabar Coast. For well over 600 years travellers and traders have been visiting this intriguing metropolis to explore and just relax in its exquisite beauty.
Due to its various occupations over the years it is now an incredible mix of English village, medieval Portugal and Holland living side by side in an ever-growing sprawl.
A place for exploration on a guided private tour or relaxation - you choose. Swaying palms surround this sleepy city and picturesque port once home to massive Chinese fishing fleets.
Nowhere else in India can you find ancient mosques on the same streets as a synagogue dating back 400 years and charming decorative Portuguese houses.
The architecture of this thriving city is breathtaking, and the last remaining remnants of the British Raj lay crumbling on every corner a sad reminder of its once great heritage here. Visit one of the many surrounding secluded islands by a local ferry and get away from the maddening crowd.
