• 5Hectic, fun and energetic, this tour is an absolute must on your Dhaka itinerary

  Bappi was a fantastic guide and a must for navigating the maze of old Dhaka. I felt safe, well taken care of, and welcomed. Bappi took me everywhere I wanted to go and more. His hospitality was warm, and his skills as a tour guide in this hectic, energetic city are a perfect match. If you're visiting Dhaka, do this tour. Instead of dipping your toe in, you dive in head first. There's no other way to do Dhaka. I would add that doing the tour on the first full day is recommended, as it will give you confidence for the rest of your trip (you'll need it!). Once you've done old Dhaka with Bappi, you're good to go!

• 5Unforgettable Tour

  My old city tour with Dhaka Tours was scintillating. I’ve traveled to many countries around the world and this was by far the most intense and memorable city tour I’ve ever taken. My guide, Babbi, was full of knowledge. He navigated us through the intensity of the Dhaka streets like a pro. We visited mosques, palaces, universities and ducked into hidden alleys that I would have never seen on my own. We hopped on and off boats and rickshaws with ease to behold some of the most interesting pockets of the old town, including the best local biryani and dessert shops you can find. Dhaka isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you want an unforgettable experience I would highly recommend Dhaka Tours.

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.
