Good overall experience. The time of tour depends on traffic of Dhaka - if traffic is good, you spend less time on the road and can finish it early in the afternoon. But if there are traffic jams, prepare to get back by evening.
Jafar was an excellent guide and the tour was exactly what we had hoped for … authentic and real. Jafar was very organized, professional and knowledgeable. This tour is a must when you are in Dhaka!
I loved the trip, it was very interesting and I was able to visit a lot of interesting places in the city. Guide and driver were very helpful, and food that we had for lunch was delicious
Our wonderful guide and driver met us at our hotel on time. Our guide was known as Lotus , she was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. We thoroughly enjoyed the day long tour in Dhaka. We recommend guide, driver and the content of the tour.
Good one-day round-up of Dhaka's top tourist sites, including some unlisted on the itinerary, such as the central market. Guide had excellent English and strong knowledge. The sites themselves could be better maintained and presented. Traffic congestion adds delays.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
