Perfect tour. Don't hesitate to book with this company. Ask for Mr. Rabbi! - My two day tour was arranged by Mr. Jafar, the CEO, who made a detailed and adjusted trip that suited my needs and timeframe perfectly. He even provided an invitation letter for immigration.
I was assigned Mr. Rabbi as my guide. Best guide I have ever had. The tour was absolutely fantastic and I walked away with an excellent experience and a completely different view of Bangladesh and its history, politics and culture. Rabbi was open-minded, flexible, calm and knowledgeable. He was an ideal travel partner and definitely made Dhaka and the surrounding area a great place to travel to. Cannot recommended Mr. Rabbi or the tour company enough.

Well worth booking - Great day out seeing some amazing spots around Dhaka, going through the markets was a wild experience being in such a busy atmosphere, but absolutely worth it.
The mutton biryani for lunch was incredible, and it really finished off the day perfectly.
Well worth booking for a great day out in Dhaka.

Great Tour - Lotus was an awesome tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. The driver was great as well. I always felt safe and comfortable the entire tour and customer service was 100%. Would recommend this tour to an Americans looking for a tour in Dhaka, as this was my first time in Asia.

City tour with a luxury comfortable car - Could not imagine to make a city tour with a auto car in this city; but it was excellent, probalby we need some more time but it was comfortabel and after walks it was fabulous to sit into an aircondition car. The driver was excellent and we could visit different places. The guide was extremly good, unbelievable what he knew and how good it could explain. Excellent lunch

Great highlight tour of Dhaka - This was first visit to Bangladesh and Shahoriar was my tourist guide for the day to show me the sites of Dhaka and to tell me about its fascinating history. It was a great tour covering all of the major sites by car and walking. Shahoriar made it exceptional. He was knowledgeable and professional and his enthusiasm for his country and this city was infectious. Both the tour and Shahoriar, as guide, are highly recommended.

A crazy but exhilarating day! - This is not for the faint hearted! Dhaka is an assault on all the senses!
Mr Rabbi was a knowledgeable & friendly guide who managed to cram so much into the day. The traffic was terrible due to a strike the next day so when we could not proceed in the car we walked, caught a rickshaw & then a tuk tuk which was even more fun.
Tourists are a novelty so be prepared to stop, chat & be photographed. The local people are very friendly.
Go with a flexible attitude & you will have a great time.

Ship repair and market stalls - An excellent day and a super guide. It was a difficult day to negotiate with strikes and social unrest, but our guide knew the safe routes and we were able to visit lots of interesting places

Great tour with a wonderful guide! - Jafar was an amazing tour guide. I saw a part of the city that I would not have been able to without his local knowledge and expertise. I left with a greater understanding of Dhaka and Bangladesh.

OK But suffered due to the troubles in Dhaka - OK day based on the troubles in Dhaka.However if you suffer from any physical or health problems this tour is not for you.Guide seemed to march on with me struggling to keep up.Think this may be because he wanted the tour to end ASAP due to the problems.
