Walking Tour of Fortkochi
Description
Fort Cochin is marked for one of the earliest establishments of foreign trade in Kerala. The heritage walk is an awesome 1.5 km on foot, which takes us back to the 1500’s when the Portuguese, the Dutch and the English was busy trading the wealth. The island provided them a very wonderful place to trade and refresh. The heritage walk meets us at different monuments which reminds us of these historical landmarks. We will also visit Fort Kochi’s seaside promenade, and get a glimpse of daily life in Kochi. The walk lasts 2 hours and is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Amazing tour if you’re in Kochi. Tour guide is very knowledgable and accommodating. The tour was such a pleasant way to explore the area. I highly recommend.
Very knowledgeable, chilled and flexible to our needs. We felt really comfortable with Vijesh, lovely family man who gave us great onward recommendations.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Vijesh
My wife and I came to India on business and stopped at several cities. We had a few days in Kochi to ourselves and decided to see the walking tour with Basheer. We are so glad that we did. Basheer was very kind and friendly and made sure to share with us historical and cultural aspects of each stop. He was very informative and knowledgeable. It was an eye opening experience. If you find yourself in kochi I highly recommend this tour. Recommend to anyone. Just be sure to have walking clothes.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Day in Cochin
Our guide Vijesh was fantastic during our half day tour of fort Cochin - he was knowledgeable on the history of the fort, great English speaking and funny and gave us many great tips for the rest of our trip too. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone’s trip to orientate the area.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback . Vijesh - Dayincochin Tours
We had a private walking tour in Fort Kochi just a couple of days ago. The tour was about 3 hours long and we could visit the highlights of the area. Vijesh was a great guide, we have got a lot of information from him. I can only recommend the tour with him, great experience.
Thank you so much for your great review. Vijesh. Tour Guide
The morning session of walking tour to experience the local daily life of kochi was enchanting to me. Local tour guide Vijesh provided us such a good information. He made up our day with local history and culture of this city and finally we learned a lot more than a local people. We highly recommend this walking tour.
Excellent guide and the day tour was extremely good. Great hospitality! For this Mr Vijesh, our tour guide deserves a special thanks.

We took a 4-hour tour (finally came out more) with the excellent wizard! Walked on foot and with the help of Ricciard, and the wizard driver was also charming. The wizard speaks fluent English, full of knowledge and fascinating explanations, responsible, kind and friendly. We had a lot of fun and I warmly recommend to anyone who travels in Cucci to take a tour with Ricciard.
Vijesh served as our personal guide for our group of 13 for 3 separate tours. He goes above and beyond with excellent communication and services. It was raining the day of our first tour that was supposed to be walking so he showed up with a mini bus to accomodate all of us at no additional charge. He is knowledgeable of the history of the area and very personable. Always willing to satisfy special requests for bank or shopping stops and answering questions. He arranged a home cooking class including dinner. The highlight of our trip was the backwater tour to Viacom Island by man operated punt boat. Quiet, relaxing and informative, ending with a veg lunch served on banana leaves. Not to be missed. I highly recommend Day In Cochin travel services and Vijesh.
