Pick-up from Cruise Port, Hotel, or other desired location and leave to explore Kochi (Cochin) with your private guide. Visit Mattancherry Palace, commonly known as the Dutch Palace, is an archaeological wonder. The palace has a fascinating collection of beautiful murals painted that depict scenes from the epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata.One can also get a peek into the royal lifestyle through the life-size portraits of the rulers of Cochin, sheathed swords, axes, daggers and ceremonial spears ornamented with feathers, along with royal caps and coins issued by the rulers of Cochin. - Note: Mattancherry Palace is closed on every Friday. - Also referred to as the Cochin Jewish Synagogue or the Mattancherry Synagogue. It is the oldest synagogue in all the 53 member-countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, constructed in 1568. It houses numerous antiques related to the old history of Kerala with Jews. Enter the synagogue and the large main hall arrests your attention with display of rare antique objects that add to the grandeur of the place. The majority of Kochi's Pardesi Jews have emigrated, but the synagogue remains excellently preserved. - Note: Paradesi Synagogue is closed on every Friday afternoon, Saturday and on all Jewish Holidays. - Constructed in 1503 by Portuguese Franciscan friars, this is believed to be India’s oldest European-built church. The faded-yellow edifice that stands here today was built in the mid-16th century to replace the original wooden chapel, though it was later altered by both the Dutch and British. Explorer Vasco da Gama, who died in Cochin in 1524, was buried in this spot for 14 years before his remains were taken to Lisbon – you can still visit his tombstone in the church. - The huge cantilevered Chinese fishing nets that droop towards the waters like over-sized hammocks have become a hallmark that represents Fort Kochi on the tourist map. The fishing nets are thought to have been built 500-600 years ago as Chinese traders were initially exploring the southern coastline of India. The sight of the Chinese nets is undoubtedly one of the most photographed sights in Kochi. - Lunch Break, Enjoy lunch at one of the best local AC restaurants (at own expense).  - This walking tour gives you a glimpse into Cochin’s rich history and heritage, showcasing the mixed Dutch, Portuguese, British and Jewish influences that make the city unique. During the tour, we will visit the old quarter of Fort Kochi, exploring the quaint streets of this city on foot. We will also visit Fort Kochi’s seaside promenade, and get a glimpse of daily life in Kochi. - Created in Kerala style from ancient temples and beautiful old houses collected by its owner, an antique dealer, the family-run folklore museum houses a priceless collection of over 5000 artefacts and covers three architectural styles: Malabar on the ground floor; Kochi/Portuguese on the 1st; and Travancore on the 2nd (top). The fine top-floor theatre has an 18th-century wood-carved ceiling depicting Hindu gods, as well as colourful Ramayana and Mahabharata murals. - Note: Kerala Folklore Museum remain closed on Good Friday, Onam & Christmas days. - After the sightseeing tour you will be dropped back off at the cruise port, your hotel,  the airport or your desired location in Cochin.
