Great tour guide! - I had a great experience with Nazmul. He made sure that we were always safe, told us many historical facts about the places we visited, and helped us find amazing food!

Exhilarating Experience! - This was my 2nd tour with Bangladesh Explore, and it, again, was outstanding! Riding rickshaws through the streets to the various historical sites was exhilarating! Nazmul was my food tour guide AND my guide for this trip. Both of my experiences were awesome. He is very knowledgeable & continually reminded me that all I have to do is ask or let him know if there is a way to customize the tour to meet my needs. I would highly recommend this company for seeing the best of Dhaka.

Awesome Morning Adventure! - This was an awesome way to spend the morning! Nazmul was an outstanding guide! I learned a lot about the colonial past and current cultures that combine to make up Bangladesh. Besides the tour, I saw so many wonderful things in our drives through Dhaka. I highly recommend this tour!

AMAZING LOCAL EXPERIENCE TOUR - I did a half-day tour with my guide in Dhaka, and it was absolutely fantastic. He took me to Kawran Bazar, where I got to experience the hustle and energy of the local market, and even showed me how locals take the train — such a unique and eye-opening experience! Throughout the tour, he made sure I felt safe and comfortable at all times. We also visited New Market, where he explained how fabrics and clothes are made and traded. His knowledge of Dhaka’s culture, daily life, and local traditions was truly impressive. I really appreciated how he provided insight into the everyday life of Dhaka residents, not just the tourist spots. He was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about showing the real side of his city. If you want to understand the authentic Dhaka and have a guide who genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend booking with him.

Great tour - Tour was really great. The guide was both entertaining and passionate about showing me the most interesting places in Dhaka, with info about the history and people, but also made sure I was always safe in the chaos of old Dhaka and that I had a taste of the local vibe. Both the guide and driver were nice and the car was comfortable. Thanks guys :)
