5.001st, we did the one day old Dhaka trip, which took us right into the bustling heart of the city, a total change from the more western Ghuslam area where we stayed. We were virtually the only westerners in this massive, chaotic market. But the locals were really engaging and friendly. Also saw the obligatory mosque, Hindu temple & Fort. It was a hectic but throughly enjoyable day. So much so that we did another tour 2 days later to Sonargaon the old capital. It was lovely to get away from the chaos of Dhaka and enjoy a little bit of tranquillity. Our guide, Amin, was a lovely guy, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour. If you get the option, ask for him. Although I'm sure the other guides are equally good :))
Absolutely Amazing!

5.00Great value for money with Imran on this day tour, which was absolutely brilliant. So many wonderful places to visit within Old Dhaka, and Imran went out of his way to accommodate my desire for coffee and hunting down specific souvenirs, as well!

4.00Excellent tour if you only have one day in Dhaka. My guide was really friendly and attentive. The tour is very personal and I was given options according to what I wanted to see and experience. Initially, our plan was to tour Dhaka for two days and order via Viator. Flight schedules change. The first day was canceled because there were no flights from Kuululumpur to Dhaka on the itinarary that we had booked. We decided to make the most of 1 day, because the next tour schedule cannot be changed. Arrived at the hotel early in the morning and was picked up at 08.00 by Mr. Firoz as per info from Modhu. The tour schedule can be carried out on time including a very satisfying lunch. We visited all the main highlights including the Armenian church, Dhakeshwari temple, star mousque, old city, univercity of Dhaka and after that Lalbagh Fort. We finish the tour and back to hotel at about 04.00 pm My guide Firoz was perfect . He was very friendly and made the teip very easy for us. He kept asking if we were oke, given that was extremely very hot and humid. This a great trip for someone and limited time traying to see the main attraction in Dhaka.
Modhu tours, an unprofessional company. Not recommended

2.00I do not wish to recommend this company at all. The driver never came to the hotel as expected. The tour guide came on his own. We both waited for the driver that has never showed up the whole day. I was deep inside very upset to be solo, to pay double the amount of a tour…89 dollars, this is what we call stealing especially that I was aware of the prices in Bangladesh, a very cheap country and not be treated for what I paid for. I would like to be reimbursed half of my money. I was waiting under the heat. This company is unprofessional. At the end of the day, I felt I did not get for what I paid for. I have the right to complain. I was not happy at all!!!!!
Wild and wonderful Dhaka

5.00What a great trip! Mahbub was an excellent host very knowledgeable about the history of Dhaka. Enjoyed riding the rickshaw getting a up close and personal touch to the sites and sounds of the city. This a great trip for someone with limited time trying to see the main attractions in Dhaka. A wonderful experience with lasting memories.
Excellent experience

Interesting way to visit Dhaka

3.00Interesting way to visit Dhaka. Very good information from the guide Al Amin. It was just me in the tour. The guide contacted me in advance to set up the pick up time. I assumed we were going to travel by car to the different locations, but due to Dhaka traffic we ended up taking TukTuk and rickshaws. Be ready for the adventure! The sites visited were okay. We had to cut our visit short due to heavy rainfall. This trip is not worth the USD 87 I paid for at all! My recommendation is not to accept the admission to the places. I feel it is way overpriced.
