Kochi, also known as Cochin, features a blend ofChinese, British, Portuguese, and Dutch cultures in Kerala. Experience its main attractions on this guided tour.

Itinerary

Your guided tour starts with a pickup from your hotel, proceeding to St. Francis Church, the oldest European church in India, built in 1503. Discover its historical significance and learn about the famed Portuguese explorer buried here.

Next, visit the Dutch Palace, also called Mattancherry Palace. Although named Dutch, it was constructed by Portuguese colonizers as a gift to the Raja of Cochin and features well-preserved mythological murals typical of Hindu temple art.

Proceed to the nearby Pardesi Synagogue, situated in the oldest section of the city, exemplifying Kochi's cultural diversity. Explore the historic area with its narrow streets and colonial-style houses.

Before returning to your hotel, experience the famous Chinese fishing nets, originating from 14th century Chinese explorers. These nets are an unofficial symbol of the Keralan backwaters and attract many tourists.
