Amazing Experience - Couldn't have done it any other way

5.00Kamal Hossain is an amazing tour guide who took care of our safety, well-being & enjoyment very well. He was very professional & readily caters to our interests along the tour. He went out of the way, above and beyond his call of duty at times. The whole tour was an eye-opening experience, especially the walk through the markets & the evening bumboat ride along the river. Our first visit to Bangladesh has been meaningful & enjoyable thanks to him.
Fantastic day tour

5.00Jerry provided a fantastic day tour, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. I really enjoyed using public rickshaw's and tuktuk's rather than using a private car or bus. The traffic was horrific and it was incredibly noisy with horns sounding constantly but that's nothing that can be controlled.
Fantastic tour

5.00An amazing experience from start to finish. My guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the city come alive with history, culture, and great local insights. We explored Old Dhaka, tasted authentic food, and discovered hidden spots I’d never find on my own. Everything felt well-organized, safe, and enjoyable. I travel and explore a lot and I can safely say this tour is something very unique, vibrant, authentic and different from your typical tour you see in other parts of the world. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dhaka — truly a memorable and worthwhile experience! 🙌

Truly An Authentic Experience of Life in Dhaka

5.00My guide Jerry was very fantastic, friendly and full of information about bangladesh history from the past and even current. I was definitely able to learn a lot about Dhaka through this tour. Also it was an amazing experience to see what life is like here and getting opportunity to ride through the streets in a local way. From getting to try sugar cane juice to tea along our walk it was a fantastic experience. My favorite part was going to the shipyard and seeing people working hard and getting to see what it takes to restore ships. If you want to experience the authentic and true version of Dhake I highly reccomend this tour and Jerry.
An unforgettable day in Dhaka!

5.00I had an absolutely amazing tour of Dhaka today with Afridi as my guide. He didn’t just show me the city’s highlights – he gave me a glimpse into the real heart of Dhaka: how local people live, work, and go about their daily lives. I was really able to connect with them because Afridi translated. We explored vibrant markets bursting with colors and aromas, enjoyed a beautiful boat ride on the river, and even visited a fascinating shipyard where massive ships are taken apart by hand. It felt like I got to experience the authentic Dhaka. Afridi was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting stories along the way. He was friendly, patient, and made sure I felt safe and comfortable throughout the day. One of the highlights was definitely the food: I got to taste some amazing local specialties like biryani, lassi, masala tea and fuchka – absolutely delicious and unforgettable! It was a day full of unique impressions and moments that I’ll never forget. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mahadi Eco Tours and guide Afridi to anyone who wants to truly experience Dhaka!
