Authentic Dhaka City Tour

i left the country some days ago and my mind is still there for all the mix of feelings i felt been there. i didn't have many expectacions about this country because of the lak of information about it. first of all i met Opu he understood the way i wanted to get to know the country. the most local way possible. The first day we went to the capital of Dkaga a Chaos but inside the chaos there is beautiful it was the monzón season but even that i enjoyed the life in the city and we took the ship all night to get to Barisal. all locals were very kind with me , they are happy having you , the appreciate you going there to visit their country. once we got to Barisal early in the morning we went to the floating market and to some villages next to the market been deeper in the local life. All the locals will invite to have some tea with them to have a conversation. After that we went to Sreemangal we took al kinds of public transport i enjoyed all of them. Once we got to screemangal we went to visit the tea plantations and the village around it.In some places was very crowded because they were celebration the Eid al -Adha ' festival of sacrifice'. We went to find some wildlife to Lawachara national park , we saw some but you know the nature is impredictable even that i enjoyed the walk there and the people.Then we went to Chittagong the second big city of Bangladesh we went to the boat's cementery is crazy but it is very worth 100% and after that we went to see some factorys it was very special too. After that we went Cox's bazar the beach Bazar the vibe there was amazing there, i watched and amazing sunset and we rented a motorbike to to go to see the moon boats they are traditional from Bangladesh and suddenly we came trough with a celebration of a sport called " boli khela" playing drummers , playing carts..... it was magical when it happens is special. you have to come to Bangladesh to experience this and very more. i didn't wanna leave i wanted to be exploring more i left the country wanting to come back again and this not always happen. it was more than expected , i have many emotions been there , this country deserve to be known much more so don't hesitate to contact Opu because thanks to him Bangladesh is one of my favourites countries so far and he will be all the time taking care of you to give you he best experience you can.

The tour was very interesting and the guide was fun . Its a great way to see Dhaka if limited on time in the city

Had an excellent day tour in Dhaka with Opu Been. He was very communicative in advance, prompt and professional. Best part was that he listened to my preferences and tailored the day to suit me. I appreciated getting to know the city with a local who knows how to get around. It also helps to have a sense of humor when dealing with an intense population with throngs of people in the streets and insane traffic. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

I visited Bangladesh as a solo traveller. I wanted to see as much as possible in 8 days. I took the ‘Bangladesh South Tour’ and it did not disappoint. After meeting Opu at the hotel I was sure we would get on. Next morning we took a bus to Sreemangal and visited tea plantations. Our transport there was a tuk tuk driver, a friend of his. The highlight there was visiting the different ethnic groups who worked on the tea plantations. Opu proved to be an excellent guide, very knowledgable and obviously loves his country. If I wanted anything eg. take a photo of something. The car would stop so I could. He would suggest where to go not on the itinerary. Places to eat, what to eat. Opu helped with everything if I wanted. The interactions with the people were the highlight of my trip. They were so inquisitive and with easy smile. Certainly an unforgettable trip with a fantastic guide/friend.

In addition to being a true professional, Opu is also a great person, and I am glad that I started our relationship for work reasons, and remained very good friends. Opu knows all the secrets of Dhaka: a city in many ways misunderstood and to be discovered, with its pitfalls and difficulties, as everywhere: with Opu you will feel at home, with a dear friend by your side!

Opu provided a unique, insightful and enjoyable tour around Dhaka’s most famous as well as lesser known sites and sounds. A tremendously enriching opportunity to fall in love with Bangladesh’s soul!

I have travelled to many countries as a solo traveller. However I decided that Bangladesh would be better with a guide. I am very glad that I did so. This is one of my favourite countries. It is so interesting ,from chaotic Dhaka to river travel, to the hill tribes, the sundarbands and so on. The people are extremely friendly and inquisitive. I have been twice and might well visit again. Opu Been is both a great guide and also a really nice guy. As others have said , you are in very safe hands. Professional, reliable and friendly. You will see so much. I loved my tours and have so many great photos. (You cannot help but take great photos in Bangladesh) This country is very under visited and overlooked but it’s a gem!

With BeenTours we did not only the city tour, but also a multi-day trip to the northwest of the country. It was a great tour, well organized and in very good English we received many explanations. Opu Been knows his country and loves it. He took us to the sights like the temples of Gauda or Mahasthangarh and Bogura, but also showed us lesser known grandiose places. Thanks to his contacts we were able to get in touch with the locals and even visit a Roma village. Been Tours is a very good option to experience Bangladesh, a country not yet flooded with tourism. We felt very safe and comfortable all the time.

Travelled to Bangladesh and had a great time. Opu is a really great guide in fact it felt more like travelling with a friend. He's fun to be with but also serious about his job. His English is excellent, he's knowledgeable and great at spotting wildlife. Bangladesh is a great off the beaten path destination.

We had an extraordinary experience in Bangladesh and would rate this as one of the best countries we have visited. From the manic streets of Dhakar to the serenity of the delta. Opu is an extraordinary guide who's local knowledge crosses many fields including unrivalled local knowledge to the local flora and fawner of the delta. Above all Opu is an excellent guide very friendly great sense of humour and very attentive to the needs of his customers. Above all a really great guide and proved time and again that his catch phrase 'in Bangladesh everything is possible' If you are going to Bangladesh this is the man you want to help you experience an extraordinary country
