Discover the Colonial legacy of Kochi on this private exclusive tour in English for your group.

Tour Details

Pickup will be at your hotel in Kochi at the designated time. The tour begins at St. Francis Church, one of the oldest European churches in India, where you'll learn about its historical significance and which famous Portuguese explorer was buried here.

Next, visit the Matancherry Palace (Dutch Palace), originally built by Portuguese settlers in 1557 as a gift to the King of Cochin. Explore its chambers filled with traditional items.

In the vicinity, see the Pardesi Synagogue in Jew Town, strolling through this Jewish neighborhood with various local shops, including antique stores and spice auctions.

Lastly, visit the pier to observe the famous Chinese fishing nets, a wooden structure installed by Chinese vendors in the 14th century, showcasing an ancestral fishing technique. The tour concludes with a return to your hotel after 5 to 6 hours.
