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.

Exceptional tour with Jafar - I just completed a tour with Jafar and my coworker and we had a fantastic time. Jafar is an exceptionally talented guide, and offered the perfect talent of historical and off the beaten path stops. He showed us places we wouldn't have found on our own and was very knowledgeable. Everything was seamless - would 100% go on another tour.

Fantastic Dhaka City Tour Experience! - I had an amazing day tour of Dhaka city, including old city, shipyard, Sonargaon areas including a boat trip to the Naul Chor island on the Meghna river. My guide, Jafar was professional, extremely knowledgeable and willing to customize the tour based on my preference for market visits, boat rides, mosques and a local village experience.
Due to Jafar’s flexibility and local knowledge we were able to cover a lot of ground in one day while not feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Dhaka!

Great day out! - Great day with Jaffar who tailored our tour to work around what we’d already seen! Everything went smoothly, despite the traffic. He was on time, the driver was safe and the sights were great.

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.
