Expensive experience

Kosala_G, Jul 2026
Tour is very expensive compared to local spendings. You can make it really cheap is you have some courage.

Highly recommend!

The best possible Dhaka experience!

Justyna_D, Nov 2025
Our tour was absolutely amazing. It started with the great communication with Rockie, followed by the best possible experience created by our guide, Nuhash (kudos to him!), and our brave driver. The crew was punctual, had a very good plan, and navigated through Dhaka traffic like true masters. Nuhash made our Dhaka photo dreams come true. While traveling around the world, we’ve met many guides, but this duo is absolutely at the top of the top. I truly recommend their service. Viator should add more stars to the review scale for such companies.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re thrilled that everything—from the early communication to the tour itself—felt smooth, well-planned, and memorable. Our team works hard to create authentic photo experiences while managing Dhaka’s busy traffic with care. Hearing that the tour stands out among your travels truly means a lot to us. We deeply appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again!

Unique areas and experiences all bundled into a single amazing day out!

My tour guide Rabbi was super organised and knew exactly how to maximise my opportunities for great photos despite the rainy monsoon weather causing us some troubles in both transport and being able to photograph freely. I got some very memorable snaps and had a unique view of life in Dhaka at the same time, going to areas i never would have found by myself and places that I could not possibly enter as a foreigner without a local guide, such as the shipyard. Highly recommend this tour if you are passionate about getting street-style photographs of the real daily life of the people and key places of Dhaka. He even squeezed in an extra place not on the original itinerary (the Armenian Church) because with the previous day's guide (different company) we were running late and had missed the closing time. Thank you again Rabbi for a fantastic tour and an educational and inspiring view of real life in Dhaka.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re glad the tour helped you capture memorable photos despite the monsoon challenges. Discovering hidden corners of Dhaka—like the shipyard and other off-limit areas—is exactly what makes this experience special. We’re happy the flexible itinerary worked in your favor. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’d love to host you again for more photography adventures!

Even though I'm not a...

Even though I'm not a profesional photographer, I picked this your to see the real side of Dhaka. Rocky was a fantastic tour guide: warm, professionals, knowledgeable and easy going. He planned the tour carefully to get the best out of each location whilst avoiding the busiest times in each of them. Rocky picked hidden gems to constantly keep the visitor in awe with the buzz of the city, skilled craftsmanship and ways of living. The driver was also excellent: calm and skilled for the heavy traffic (Dhaka is not for beginners!). He also used the first car with seatbelts I have gotten on in my whole journey to Bangladesh! Safe & comfortable.

Response from Host, Jun 2024
