Great experience made our visit

Published on Nov, 2023

1st, we did the one day old Dhaka trip, which took us right into the bustling heart of the city, a total change from the more western Ghuslam area where we stayed. We were virtually the only westerners in this massive, chaotic market. But the locals were really engaging and friendly. Also saw the obligatory mosque, Hindu temple & Fort. It was a hectic but throughly enjoyable day. So much so that we did another tour 2 days later to Sonargaon the old capital. It was lovely to get away from the chaos of Dhaka and enjoy a little bit of tranquillity. Our guide, Amin, was a lovely guy, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour. If you get the option, ask for him. Although I'm sure the other guides are equally good :))

Absolutely Amazing!

Great value for money with Imran on this day tour, which was absolutely brilliant. So many wonderful places to visit within Old Dhaka, and Imran went out of his way to accommodate my desire for coffee and hunting down specific souvenirs, as well!
