• 5Amazing experience for female solo travellers

  An amazing experience of exploring old Dhaka in a warm and safe company of a female guide. Safinaj was a sweetheart, knowing in and outs of Old Dhaka, showing the best spots and telling amazing stories of the city, life in Dhaka and Bangladesh and herself. Very much recommend for a comfortable acquaintance with the city which you will fall in love with as you get to know it more.

• 5Amazing day in Old Dhaka

  Today we had a really cool day while Tanvir guided us through Old Dhaka. Our highlight was the shipyard. But waiting with the locals for all new portion of biryani ready to be served was also worthwhile.

• 5Great Tour despite Floods

  We had a great experience with our guide Nomaan. Due to the rain a big part of Dhaka was completely flooded, and it looked as if the day was cancelled. However, the organization arranged a last minute reduced version mostly via rickshaws (as the roads were not maneageable via car) which still touched on the main landmarks. Definitely a unique experience, but quite fascinating.

  I had a solo tour in Dhaka and I chose this one because of its amazing reviews. Tuhin was a great guide, very friendly, accomodating and knowledgeable! He has many funny stories and it's clear to see he is very passionate about his work and his country. Even though it started pouring with rain half way through, he managed to move around some of the scheduled activities and adjust to my preference. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dhaka!

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.
