A great few hours exploring the city - A very interesting experience and one I’d be happy to repeat on any future visit. The guide (Shahoriar) was knowledgeable and very helpful getting to and around the various locations. It was great to get some history and background to the city and information on the sites visited. A very well organised and ordered experience. Finishing up with a delicious lunch!

The best possible Dhaka experience! - 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.

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.

Amazing expérience and guide ! - It was a fantastic experience! Dhaka is an unknown city that is worth visiting and understanding. We had the pleasure of being guided by Rabbi, a talented young guide, prepared and extremely helpful. It made us want to come back and visit Bangladesh with him.
Beautiful experience.

An Unforgettable 5-Senses Journey Through Dhaka - Upon arriving in Dhaka, we took this tour, and it was an unforgettable way to experience the true essence of the city. It’s not just a photography tour—it’s a full 5-senses journey. The tour guide, Rabbi, is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, sharing the history and stories of the city with great enthusiasm.

the guide is very professional and helpful - The tour guide was very professional and friendly. He helped me understand more about Bangladesh and explained a lot of historical and social knowledge about Bangladesh that I had previously lacked or misunderstood. When taking photos, he also communicated well between me and the subjects. I was very satisfied with this trip and enjoyed the photography process.

The best day out in Dhaka. - We had an incredible tour with Rocky, and went to some amazing spots with him.
He was able to answer every question we had and never rushed us at any point throughout the day.
Seeing the Ship Yards and Old Dhaka was an awesome experience and one we won't forget any time soon.
Rocky also helped take care of my girlfriend who was feeling ill, and went as far as helping book us an Uber to get back to the hotel safely when we had to leave our friends towards the end of the day.
This tour was well and truly worth it, and even if you aren't a professional photographer, it's definitely a must if you want to see some hidden gems in Dhaka and to hang out with one of the best tour guides Bangladesh has to offer!

Fantastic tour - Fantastic day with Sayeed. We went to all of the places mentioned on the tour as well as a few hidden spots. I have been living in Dhaka for a few years now and going with a local guide was still the best way to access these places, and the best way to learn what everything is. Got some great photos and had some fun adventures.
