5Great 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!

About Dhaka
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh on the Buriganga River, is a dense, restless city of Mughal-era monuments, rickshaws and a busy river port.
Dhaka grew from a Mughal provincial capital on the Buriganga River into one of the most densely populated cities on earth. Old Dhaka holds most of the history: Lalbagh Fort, begun in 1678 and never finished, the pink Ahsan Manzil palace beside the river, and the Star Mosque with its mosaic of china tiles. The narrow lanes around them are filled with workshops and traders.
Top-ranked sights in Dhaka: Sadarghat Port, Star Mosque (Tara Masjid), Armenian Church.
