It was really interesting to make this trip to see Sonargaon and Panam City. The tour was well organized and we had a very knowledgeable guide.

Great day trip - thoroughly recommend

Really good day trip exploring the countryside around Dhakar. Very knowledgeable local guide and good transport. Interesting historic and natural sites, and a glimpse at local life.

Must do experience in Bangladesh

I had such a great time at the trip. Very pleasant and informative guides, very interesting experiences to see the old Sonargon capital, the Panam city and the boat ride. The guides made a perfect trip and we’re very observant to what would be the best experience for me. It is definitely a must do if you are in Bangladesh.

The most fun we've had in a while!

Our guide Afridi is the best! He's professional, knowledgeable, respectful, friendly and can make history fun :) he also felt like our personal genie! We wanted to see a haunted house on a whim and he made it happen! We were intrigued by a wooden ferris wheel and he took us to a park to ride one! We asked for an early morning pick up and he arrived exactly on the dot! He also took some amazing photos of us! After seeing how jamdani is made, we bought some jamdani clothes at cost (bring cash! You'll regret not having enough on you!). We also bought some souvenirs and met a very kind hearted shopkeeper who gave us everything at a bargain. The chauffeur was also friendly and knowledgeable. We had great conversations, a lot of laughs, a lot of goofing around and an amazing time! Highly recommend booking this tour with Afridi!
