Private Tour of Kochi

Kochi, also known as Cochin, showcases a blend of Chinese, British, Portuguese and Dutch cultures in Kerala. This guided tour allows exploration of its iconic sights.

Itinerary

The tour starts with a pickup from your hotel, heading first to St. Francis Church, the oldest European church in India, built in 1503. Discover its historical significance during colonial times and learn about the famous Portuguese explorer buried here.

Your next stop is the Dutch Palace (also called Mattancherry Palace), built by Portuguese colonizers as a gift to the Raja of Cochin. The palace features well-preserved mythological murals typical of Hindu temple art.

Following that, visit the Pardesi Synagogue, located in the oldest part of the city. This Jewish temple exemplifies the melting pot of cultures in Kochi. Explore the historic centre with its colonial-style houses.

Before returning to your hotel, see the Chinese fishing nets. These large structures, a legacy from 14th century Chinese explorers, are known for supplying fresh fish and have become a symbol of the Keralan backwaters.

Important information

The tour does not include the synagogue on Saturdays, as it is closed.

This is a private tour with a dedicated tour guide exclusively for you and your companions. Large groups can also benefit from cost savings.
