Tour is very expensive compared to local spendings. You can make it really cheap is you have some courage.
It was an excellent experience and a great way to see Dhaka. Rabbi was a great tour guide going some extra miles to show me places outside of the itinerary. You get to see places where you might not go alone without a tour guide. It’s my second time here since 2003. It’s great to he back and to see all the positive changes. And yet some things are still the same. I highly recommend this tour to see a good chunk of Dhaka. Loved every minute.

Wonderful experience. They accommodated the time change. Very friendly and helpful guide. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that Cholo Bangladesh Tours could accommodate your schedule and provide a friendly, helpful experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.
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!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and that Cholo Bangladesh Tours made your visit informative, smooth, and well-organised. Happy you loved the lunch as well! We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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. Martina and Clement

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 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.
