Great to know that the tour manager speaks verry good Bengali ,English and Dutch - I did vist Bangladesh in March 2022 . When i arrived I could not inmagine that this country was so crowdy. The night I stayed at the hotel I started looking for a tour guide. Another guest at the hotel recommended me to contact this company. And I am glad I did . I had a great time in Dhaka. I think if I did this on my own then i didnt see so many places. Javed the tour guide took me to places where I think normally tourist will not come . Aspecially i loved the tour to Historical places ..Also it was great That Javed can speak Bengali, English and Dutch verry well. So it was verry easy to communicate. If i ever will go to Bangladesh again . I deffinitly will contact this company again.

Surpassed all expectations. What a memorable day! - I would have given it 6 stars if possible. Bappi was excellent, informative, flexible and brought me around to specific places I asked. He was a great judge of my adventurousness, looked out for my safety and basically did everything right. Would definitely recommend to everyone game for a real Dhaka experience. Javed the tour manager was also easy to communicate with! Hats off to the team.

Not worth it - There is not much to see at Bazar so spend there only 30 mins instead of 3 hours :( Also, the is no train crossing the bazar what’s shown on pictures. I was disappointed not to see this. You can find a better tour for this price
