Booked this half day tour during a stopover in Dhaka. Pickup and drop off at the airport. Great guide and driver with excellent commentary and multiple stops along the way. We even stopped for ice cream. Everything went smoothly and I really enjoyed the tour. The car was air conditioned and this is an absolute requirement in Bangladesh! Highly recommended.

Fantastic half day tour of Dhaka. Pickup at the airport was waiting for me as scheduled and I felt very welcomed and comfortable immediately. The car was in excellent condition with great air conditioning and we set out to see all of the sites as outlined in the itinerary. The tour was packed with interesting things to see and the drive itself showed lots of everyday life in the huge city of Dhaka. I returned to the airport 4 hours later for an onward flight and was brought right to the door. Highly recommended tour.
