• 5Good overall experience....

  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.

  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.

• 4If you have 24 hours in Dhaka, this is the way to take it in

  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.

• 5Perfect tour. Don't hesitate to book with this company. Ask for Mr. Rabbi!

  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.

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.
