One perfect day in Dhaka!

Published on Mar, 2025

This day with Rocky was great. The tourist sites and the real live... his knowhow and English is perfect. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing day in Dhaka

Published on Dec, 2024

Rocky was a fantastic guide who rally brought the tour to life. If you have limited time but want to see the main sites, plus a few less know roads and alleyways, this is the one for you. Rocky went out of his way to make sure I was happy and comfortable throughout and he is also very happy to tailor tours to make it bespoke for you. 100% recommended and a great day seeing the attractions of Dhaka close up and personal.

Old Dhaka tour and boats.

Published on Oct, 2024

Rocky was very accommodating as we were not in city center. He was informative and pleasant. His language was easy to understand. No concerns for our safety. Open to changing our tour to fit our itinerary. Recommend to use this tour group.

Excellent experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Rocky was an excellent guide. He is very kind and nice! We appreciate seeing Dhaka by rickshaw with him. Great to se the old town.

Fantastic tour of Dhaka

Published on Oct, 2023

I had one day in Dhaka and wanted to see as much as I could. Rocky helped me arrange a special tour-- Dhaka like a local combined with a food tour! Dhaka is such a challenging city to navigate. We were able to see sites all over the city, when it would have taken me all day to travel to one site if I were left to my own devices. Rocky is knowledgeable and friendly, and I learned so much about the culture! As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe on this tour and was able to travel to places I wouldn't be able to navigate safely alone. I strongly recommend booking the Bangladesh like a Local tour with Cholo. Dhaka is not a city that can be navigated solo if you don't know it well. The tour was fun, professional, and so rich in sights and culture.
