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

I recommend this tour - Shovon was my guide for a tour of many Dhaka and Bangladesh points of interest. Largest wholesale food market, flower market, religious points of interest, and a boat ride. Shovon made sure I was comfortable and seeing what I wanted to see and took care that I was comfortable. I felt safe and we had good communication. Shovon added in many extras that I enjoyed, I learned a lot about the city. I recommend this tour.

Great Dhaka and Sonargaon tours - Went on two day tours with Jerry. One day had a chance to visit old city of Sonargaon. We went there by airconditioned car. Everything was on time and had a chance to visit a few interesting places out of Dhaka. On second day I visited Dhaka using local transport. The operator was flexible and I was able to have a tour a day later without a charge as my flight got cancelled. I can recommend their services.
