Won’t regret - So glad I did this. I wouldn’t have seen the bazaars and other off-the-beaten-path sites without it. The river ride was a particular highlight. My guide, Jerry, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative. Despite recent political turmoil, Dhaka city seems safe and business as usual. Highly recommend.

Blend in (kind of) with a Dhaka local - Fantastic experience through the streets of Dhaka with a local.
My host, the friendly Shihab Jery, was just what I was hoping for: he gave a great insight into some of what makes Dhaka tick.
The traffic in Dhaka can get a bit intense - crossing roads can be a challenge at times for non-locals - but I was totally safe with Jery.
On all fronts.
Really great way to get a taste of this exciting, colourful, crazy and friendly city.
Highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants a more grass-roots kind of experience: I loved it!

Great guide! But be careful of your belongings - Walking the streets and colourful rickshaws and generally very friendly people as tourists are somewhat unusual here. Jerri the guide was both knowledgeable and kind...and very helpful when my phone was sadly stolen. It could have happened anywhere in the world but he was most helpful and i felt safe with him...despite the traffic chaos on the street

Amazing tour of Dhaka. - I can’t recommend this tour and this company enough. I was travelling to Bangladesh for work purposes as a single female. The tour guide made me feel safe the entire time and showed me parts of Dhaka that otherwise I would have never seen on my own. The guide was knowledgeable, very well educated and spoke perfect English. He was very patient when I asked him to take a million pictures of me. I will be contacting them for more tours in the future for sure.

Incredible experience 🤍 - I was skeptical about this at the beginning but still decided to give it a chance. I was very positively surprised by how nice my tour guide was, he picked me up from my hotel and took me around the city, he speaks perfect English and made me feel safe throughout the whole trip. As a solo female traveler it’s not always easy to find reliable tours, but I honestly cannot recommend this one enough if you want to see this incredible city through the eyes of locals. Thank you so much Afridi (my lovely tour guide) for sharing this experience with me. It was definitely a day that will stay in my memory forever 🫶🏽

Amazing city tour in Dhaka! - It's amazing city tour in Dhaka. My guide, Afridi led me to visit all famous attractions by local transportation. Dhaka is a crowded city with friendly people. Although the weather is hot in May, but I can see many beautiful view in Dhaka.
The traffic is a big hard there, and I was busy on taking photos during the tour. But Afridi took a super good cares on me. Moreover, Afridi spent a lot of time trying to find a postcard for me before I left. Thanks, Brother.

Bangladesh Eco Adventures - Go Local! One of the most amazing tours I have ever been on. - When I was researching tours in Dhaka, I had a feeling this tour was going to be a winner as it seemed that it was going to really allow me to "feel" the city and experience how people live real life here. Wow - was I right. This tour was one of the most amazing tours I have ever been on. Mahadi, who designed this type of tour, took me everywhere!. He places a lot of value on really seeing how life is lived in Dhaka. So, with that, he and I set off in rickshaws and visited early morning food and tool markets, flower markets, ship repair yards, mosques, schools, hindu zones, local restaurants, and memorials that showcased significant events in Bangladesh's history. I learned so much about the different jobs and ways of life in this densely populated city. I would never have seen this on my own. Mahadi and I were able to discuss so many things as we went along which contributed greatly to my understanding of Bangladesh and its people. I really valued our discussions alot. In summary, this was simply an outstanding day for me and through this experience I feel that I made huge progress in achieving what I came to Bangladesh for - to gain some understanding of the diversity, culture and way of life here. Huge thank you to Mahadi and Bangladesh ECO Adventure for this day. I highly recommend this tour for anyone adventurous looking for the same.

Unexpected Dhaka - We came with my wife to Dhaka for 2 days and we really wanted to make the most atmospheric impression during this time. So we opted for a one day city tour of Dhaka.
We had a great guide Afridi, we asked him to show us the city so that we could feel its rhythm and people.
During the 8 hour tour we had time to visit a lot of different places in the city: including flower market, vegetable market, clothing market, university buildings, Armenian church, Ahsan Manzil museum, streets of old Dhaka, took a boat ride on the river.
Afridi was super caring and attentive: at our request he took us to drink excellent coffee, treated us to the best massala tea in Dhaka, constantly supplied us with water, without which it was impossible to survive in +35 degrees. We also felt completely safe despite the huge flow of people around us.
Very much liked his delicate manner of leading the tour, excellent knowledge in history, politics, art of Bangladesh
Thank you so much to our guide for capturing the atmosphere of this incredible city!

Great professionals... - All has been properly treated Mahadi during reservation a few weeks ago.
Very good and fluid comunication.
We had a perfect idea of the programme and how all was organised.
Then we ad Jeru as our Guide and he is a fantastic. Always available for another explanation and call att for some details during the tour.
Our driver is a "machine" dealing with Dhaka's caotic but also fluid traffic... so interesting to see how he managed to go trough with safety... also an experience itself.
A great experience with very good professionals
