Curzon Hall

Curzon Hall is a beautiful combination of Mughal and European architecture situated within the Dhaka University campus. Visitors will be amazed by its red-brick arches, elaborate designs, and historical importance. Constructed in 1904, it was originally designed as a town hall but currently functions as the Faculty of Science. As people stroll through Curzon Hall, they encounter a piece of Bangladesh's colonial history, with lovely green lawns and gardens enhancing its beauty. The hall also represents Bangladesh's Language Movement, where students convened to promote Bengali as an official language, making it a significant destination for history buffs.

Shahid Minar

The Shaheed Minar (Martyrs' Monument) serves as a strong emblem of Bangladesh’s struggle for linguistic and cultural identity. Situated near Dhaka University, this memorial pays homage to the students and activists who gave their lives during the 1952 Language Movement, advocating for the recognition of Bengali as an official language. The monument’s architecture, which includes vertical columns representing a mother and her lost children, stirs profound feelings. Each year on February 21 (International Mother Language Day), thousands come to honor their memory. A visit to the Shaheed Minar provides travelers with a significant insight into Bangladesh’s history of perseverance and pride in its language and heritage.

    The tour was good fun. Picked up on time and went to the sites mentioned. Nazmul was good fun. It was a unique tour; we got on different rickshaws to get to the sites. We also went on a boat ride on the river, which was cool. The lunch was good. The only negative was. I had to pay for the transfer back, which I am sure was included it was cheap but it ment I had to go to the ATM to withdraw $4 in Taka for my Uber to the airport lucky i found a fee free ATM close by.

    My time exploring the country of Bangladesh was an experience I will never forget. Najmul was an exceptional guide giving my friends and I an exceptional time we would have not had if we had tried to tour the city in our own. Najmul was able to give us interesting facts about the sights we were seeing. He made us feel safe, comfortable, and part of the culture we were seeing. I would recommend anyone to tour the city with Najmul.

    Excellent tour. Nazmul arrived at my hotel early and was happy to wait for me. We used a combination of local transport station and walking. I thought the balance was about right. Nazmul knew his history very well I was happy to tell me about the different sites he visited as well as a history of Bangladesh. It was also interesting to hear about local life in Dhaka. Lunch was very good and he was always ready with an extra bottle of water if I needed it.

  • Good introduction to Dhaka

    After entering the busy city of Dhaka in my oppinion a guide is essential. This is a great tour covering the main sites. My guide Nazmul was awesome, friendly and proud of his culture and heritage. What i paticurlaly liked was how willing he was to adapt things to my needs.

    Never have I ever expected such an amazing experience. Dhaka completely exceeded my expectations — and that’s all thanks to an incredible guide, Nazmul. It honestly felt more like meeting up with a friend than taking a tour 😄 Nazmul brought the city to life with personal touches, meaningful details, and surprises. From exploring Lalbagh Fort to snacking in local markets and riding rickshaws, every moment was special. I’m ashamed to admit that but he even takes better photos than I do (embarrassing but true haha). Oh — and he sings! *OMGGG*. That was the cherry on top. Truly grateful for the day. If you’re visiting Dhaka, don’t miss this!
