Very good tour of Old Dhaka with Bappi Islam, including extra places not on the itinerary such as a tour of a ferry boat. Bali was very polite and accommodating.
Had a fun guided day tour with Bappi. He guided me through the chaos of old Dhaka with good knowledge, local food and shortcuts! Highly recommend
This tour gives a glimpse of what the real Dhaka looks like. Bappi with Dhaka Tours is very helpful, friendly and a nice guide to go on a tour with. He brought us on different sites with historical significance and we saw the real Dhaka when we went around the narrow crowded alleyways of Old Dhaka riding numerous rickshaws. It was an interesting experience and recommended if you only have a short time in the city.
I had the absolute pleasure of having Bappi as my guide in Dhaka, and I can honestly say it was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, I didn’t feel like a customer — I felt like a friend. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care made me feel completely comfortable and safe at all times. Bappi showed me parts of Dhaka that I would never have discovered on my own. Not just the typical tourist spots, but authentic corners of the city that truly reflect its heart and soul. Thanks to him, I experienced the real Dhaka — vibrant, complex, and full of life. His knowledge, professionalism, and passion for his country are exceptional. If anyone is planning a trip to Bangladesh, I strongly recommend booking Bappi as your guide. It will transform your visit into something truly special. Five stars are not enough. Thank you, Bappi, for an unforgettable experience.
It was so amazing to get around Dhaka with Bappi. He let me know a lot about the history, the places, and culture of Dhaka. Highly recommend this tour!
We have toured with Bappi through Old DHAKA. a wonderful day. The trip was custom planned and the transport was also fitted according to our needs and our adventurous sense. Seen all the highlights and certainly the chaotic city with occasionally very quiet places. Kudos to our guide Bappi with his vast knowledge of the city.
I had an amazing full-day Old Dhaka City Tour with my guide Bappi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Bappi was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He shared so much about the history of Old Dhaka, but also about daily life and his own personal story, which made the experience feel very meaningful. Throughout the entire day, I felt very safe and well taken care of, even in the busy and chaotic parts of the city. Everything was well organized, and the local food, rickshaw rides, and boat trip were great highlights. Bappi was always attentive, helped with logistics, took great photos of me, and made sure I had water and food when needed. This tour felt more like being shown around by a friend than a standard tour. I will remember this day and our conversations for a long time. Highly recommended – especially if you want an authentic, respectful, and safe introduction to Old Dhaka. Thank you, Bappi!
Came solo to Bangladesh with no expectations. Bappi made my 3 days here some of my best days of traveling. It did not feel like we were on a day tour, it just felt like we were friends exploring the chaotic city of Dhaka. I tried so many crazy foods that I never would have tried on my own, and got so many local insights as we explored the city. Truly some of my best days of travel ever, I highly recommend you book something with him.
We learnt so much about the culture of Dhaka and its history. The guide was very attentive to details. Highly recommend!
Happiness is great guide, provided service very comfortable. Told a super historical facts about city. He unloved at his job and Bangladesh, that's why it's very important to speak during his tour. That was an unforgettable memorable time spend in Dakha for 7 hours! Thank u, brother!
