Review of Kochi City Tour, covering Fort Kochi sights, spice markets, local life, pricing, timing, guides, and practical booking advice.
“The guide missed 5 itinerary locations, and we had to cover all admission fees ourselves.

This ruined our one day in Kochi, to such an extent that we’ve requested a full refund.”
