Great tours, friendly and knowledgeable guides
We took two tours with this company: the Dhaka city tour with 20 persons, and the Sonargaon day tour with 7 persons. Everyone in the group would highly recommend this agency. We had a great tour which, in both cases, combined the "must sees" with other parts of the city you would not ordinarily see without a guide. Responses to questions were prompt, everything was clearly communicated beforehand, and the tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend to work with this agency when visiting Bangladesh!

Amazing Dhaka!
We had an amazing experience touring Dhaka with our guide Jerry. Everything was perfect: the city itself, the organization of the tour, and the punctuality throughout the entire day. Jerry was extremely kind, professional, and always available to answer every question with detailed explanations, making the experience even more interesting and enjoyable.
We managed to see everything and fully experience the atmosphere, culture, and main attractions of Dhaka thanks to his excellent guidance. The tour was truly high-level and very well organized from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dhaka!
