One of the best tours I’ve ever been on! - I really enjoyed my tour with Zia! It was a perfect tour to take as a solo traveler - I felt safe the whole time and Zia was not only an excellant and professional tour guide, but also great company! We hit all the items on the tour itinerary and he offered to take me to additional places too since we had time, such as Dhaka University. He really made the experienced personalized and I learned so much. Also worth noting that it was 100+ degrees the day I went, and Zia was very conscious of making sure I had enough water, shade etc. Would 110% take another tour with this company!

Travel around Bangladesh - I booked the trip “Old Dhaka and Sonargaon” with Junaid Zia from Tours n Trips Bangladesh. After that I decided to hire Shohagh from the same company to drive around BD for about a week. He knew his way around, was a safe and polite driver and was able to provide access to places I would otherwise not have been able to access. Overall I had a great time and experience! It was excellent. I highly recommend Tors n Trips, Junaid and Shohagh!

Sonargoan and Panam City - I highly recommend the Sonargoan Tour #3 if you are staying in Dhaka one week or more and want to see some sites that are outside of the city. Reaz was very accommodating in setting up our tour within 24 hours notice and our guide Mr. Ferdou was knowledgeable and accommodating. Panam City is worth the car trip alone!

Must Do in Dhaka - This tour gives interesting insight into daily life of ordinary people of Dhaka. You will get an historical overview from 1600 AD and over the development during the last 47 years. The tour was accompanied by a very intelligent commentary on the history, society and economy of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Tutul is very sensitive and comfort of his clients and constantly check that everyone is comfortable and happy.He is very generous and authentic person and I highly recommend anyone can take tour from them.

Extraordinary Experiences! - I did 2 tours with Tours & Trips Bangladesh; the photography tour and an archeology tour. Both was amazing! Before I even board my flight to Dhaka, Zia has given me good vibes about himself. From the moment I met him and his driver at the hotel lobby, till the day they dropped me off at the airport, each minute on tour with him has been days of positive energy! As a solo female traveler, a good guide is important, however an extraordinary guide such as Zia, with exceptional knowledge to share, has made my experience in Dhaka fulfilled. The tour started with visiting the wholesale market, then to the port, visiting the ship revamp area, which was out of an ordinary tour! Bustling busy morning, filled with colours and smiles, great energy all around the city and unforgettable moments. A lot to capture, I mean extremely millions lots of unique photography to capture on camera and for the heart and mind. I was very fortunate that on the day of my tour was Zia’s birthday, and he warmly invited me to his humble home for a dinner celebration with his family. An extra mile by him was an extra bonus for me! An authentic local experience! Home cooked food, local people His family was very welcoming and I had a great evening with them! I’m happy to know that I will have a family friend the next time I visit Dhaka again. Thanks Zia, your driver, your company and your beautiful family for their generosity, hospitality and taking exceptional care of me during my short days in Dhaka. Till we meet again my friend:)
