I am an avid traveler who loves exploring local life, and this tour provided a great glimpse into the heart of Dhaka. I found most of what I saw absolutely fascinating, especially the vegetable and flower markets where people balance massive baskets on their heads—it was perfect for photography.
Azim was a helpful guide throughout the trip. He arranged a private boat for me to see the shipyards; although the river had a bit of a smell, it was an incredibly interesting and authentic scene that you wouldn't see in Europe. At the end, at my request, he also took me to see a Hindu wedding ceremony and helped me with some souvenir shopping.
A note on timing: The tour was advertised as a full day (8–8.5 hours), but we actually finished everything in 5.5 hours (from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM). While the content was interesting, the description is a bit misleading as it functions more as a half-day tour. Overall, despite being much shorter than expected, it was still a worthwhile experience to see the real side of the city.

Great tour with Rakib, who was very educated and knowledgeable about the history of Bangladesh and Dhaka, spoke very god English, and made me feel welcomed. This tour involved walking, riding rickshaw in between the sites, and a boat trip to the ship yard. Definitely makes you feel like a local :)

Rakib was a great tour guide and had everything well under control, navigating and negotiating with the local drivers from each place we had visited. At no time did I feel unsafe walking through the streets or riding in the vehicles through the busy city (not too busy given it was a holiday). It really was an experience Dhaka through the eyes of a local. Very enjoyable experience and would definitely recommend!

I recently went on a day tour with my guide, Rakib, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the very beginning, Rakib was punctual and well-organized, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the day. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about every place I visited, making the tour both educational and engaging.
I highly recommend this day tour with Rakib to anyone looking for a memorable and well-guided experience. His expertise, punctuality, and genuine care for his guests truly made the day special.

I had a very fun, action-packed tour of Dhaka. Azim was very prompt with an itinerary and despite me imposing some time constraints on him, we managed to hustle and see almost all of the sights on the agenda. He has come up with an exciting and ingenious itinerary that utilises more unusual modes of transportation that tourists aren't used to in order to avoid Dhaka's epic traffic jams. Besides one ride in a car, we rode on various types of rickshaws as well as a boat. It was thrilling and memorable! He is personable and flexible. We visited Lalbarg Fort, Curzon Hall, Shakhari Bazaar, Ahsan Manzil, the Star Mosque and the Armenian Church. I even managed to fit in a spot of shopping. You can see more if you have the time or just relax and take in the sights in a more leisurely manner. He'll adjust the schedule to your needs. I thoroughly enjoyed my day in Dhaka with Azim!

The guide explained the history and background well, and it was impressed that after the death of the former prime minister at the time of the tour, all the offices closed their doors and did not enjoy the tour properly, but nevertheless the guide tried to finish the tour as much as possible.
