5.00Rocky was a fantastic guide who rally brought the tour to life. If you have limited time but want to see the main sites, plus a few less know roads and alleyways, this is the one for you. Rocky went out of his way to make sure I was happy and comfortable throughout and he is also very happy to tailor tours to make it bespoke for you. 100% recommended and a great day seeing the attractions of Dhaka close up and personal.
Old Dhaka tour and boats.

5.00Rocky was very accommodating as we were not in city center. He was informative and pleasant. His language was easy to understand. No concerns for our safety. Open to changing our tour to fit our itinerary. Recommend to use this tour group.

Fantastic tour of Dhaka

5.00I had one day in Dhaka and wanted to see as much as I could. Rocky helped me arrange a special tour-- Dhaka like a local combined with a food tour! Dhaka is such a challenging city to navigate. We were able to see sites all over the city, when it would have taken me all day to travel to one site if I were left to my own devices. Rocky is knowledgeable and friendly, and I learned so much about the culture! As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe on this tour and was able to travel to places I wouldn't be able to navigate safely alone. I strongly recommend booking the Bangladesh like a Local tour with Cholo. Dhaka is not a city that can be navigated solo if you don't know it well. The tour was fun, professional, and so rich in sights and culture.
Great experience

5.00We took the Dhaka local experience tour and it was great, thanks to Rocky. He explained everything well and as a person he was also very gentle and kind. It was nice driving with the riksjas as this is one of the most special things in Dhaka . He made shore we had a good lunch and visited all the important places. I would really recommend this tour to all adventurous tourists. Thanks Ricky.

5.00I had the most amazing 2 days with Rocky. Right from planning the trip via email and text messages, to us finallly meeting and exploring Dhaka, it was all smooth and a great experience overall. I did the one day experience Dhaka like local tour and tried a few street food items. Next day I took the day trip to sonargao where I got to see an abandoned old city (my fav part of the trip). I’d highly recommend Rocky, not only because it’s a great tour but as an individual , he is passionate about his work, he reads his clientele and gives u precisely the amount of information that your brain can intake.
