Tour Details

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Kochi at the designated time. The first stop is the St. Francis Church, one of the oldest European churches in India. Here, you'll learn about its historical significance and discover which famous Portuguese explorer was buried here before being sent to Lisbon.

Next, we will proceed to the Matancherry Palace (Dutch Palace), built by Portuguese settlers in 1557 as a gift to the Raja of Cochin. You will admire its chambers containing traditional items.

In the vicinity, we will visit the Pardesi Synagogue located in Jew Town. You will stroll through this Jewish neighborhood among various stores, including antique shops and spice auctions.
