Bad Experience, Confused by the Great Reviews

I always feel bad giving a bad review, but this just wasn’t great. First of all, they had the wrong hotel for pickup. So I woke up very early and was waiting in the lobby. The guide kept telling me he was there so I was looking all over, only to find out he was in the wrong place. It took 30 minutes for him to arrive. Second, the driver drove like a maniac. I’ve been in many countries and this is one of the craziest driving experiences that I’ve had. The car was not filled with gas so we had to go out of our way to the gas station, and had to wait for 30 minutes there because there was no gas. We should have started the day with enough gas for the day. Lastly, I didn’t really feel the guides English was fluent. I do not expect a native speaker. But the guide very often misunderstood simple questions, it was generally difficult to communicate. The time estimations were very bad. I asked the guide how long it would take to get back from Panam City, and he replied about an hour. To be safe, I made plans with a friend for 1.5 hours later. It took 2 hours to get back. I just felt like the whole thing was very unprofessional and a little awkward, that’s all. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because the guide was nice and I feel bad.
A wonderful day trip

The entire trip was 5 star! From picking up on time by a nice car, excellent capacity of driving chasing all the chaotic traffic, flexibility of stopping by all the interesting places i wated to, showing all the highlights with details and local explanation, delicious lunch in a popular local restaurant and most importantly very friendly and knowledgeable guide Jafar. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in a short trip to Bangladesh!

I can only say that I was lucky to have Jafur - the CEO - as my guide for the day. He is university educated, well traveled and speaks excellent English. I had an education on Bangladesh history, culture, the economy and anything else we wandered off into. He’s also a great tour guide who is punctual and provided modern transportation
Experience how others live.

I had a marvelous tour guide, Opu Been, he now has his own firm. I was interested in touring The Parliament House by the architect Louis Kahn which is magnificent. We toured the city, it is growing rapidly, the airport will be stunning, beautiful exterior and interior, highways and modern expressways. Flew to a village to see The Bamboo School, temples, mosques. I hope to return.
Great tour to see the farm life and old sites and more

Amazing tour and tour guide. Got to see many great places that are not easy to find on your own. The island visit was the highlight as well as the different production sites. The guide was great and knowledgeable.
Highly recommended!

Super cool guide and driver. We went on a Sunday and on this day of the week the town is always closed. We looked at it from the outside. Nevertheless, we had an interesting and insightful tour. Thanks again.
