What To Expect
National Parliament House
The Bangladesh National Parliament Building (Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban) is one of the most iconic architectural wonders in the world, designed by the legendary American architect Louis I. Kahn. Located in the capital city Dhaka, this magnificent structure serves as the seat of the National Parliament of Bangladesh. Completed in 1982, the building stands as a symbol of democracy and national pride. It is celebrated for its bold geometric design, expansive water bodies, and skillful use of natural light and ventilation. The vast complex covers 200 acres, featuring serene lakes, lush green landscapes, and striking concrete forms that blend seamlessly with nature. The central building consists of eight peripheral blocks surrounding the main assembly hall, which is crowned with a majestic domed ceiling. The strategic use of circular and triangular openings allows daylight to illuminate the interiors, creating a breathtaking play of light and shadow.
A true heritage market of Dhaka, Shahbag Flower Market is a vibrant explosion of colors, scents, and local life. Here, rows of fresh marigolds, roses, tuberoses, and orchids create a breathtaking floral landscape that reflects the city’s cultural heartbeat. Travelers can stroll through lively stalls, watch artisans craft beautiful garlands, and experience the joyful rhythm of daily trade. Rich in tradition and atmosphere, this iconic flower market offers an authentic glimpse into Dhaka’s living heritage — and a perfect spot for unforgettable photographs.

5.00We made right choice to spend a day in old Dhaka, visiting virtually all the major spots with a knowledgeable guide and skillful driver. Thanks to our guide, Mahib with whom we had very nice and interesting conversations throughout the tour. This tour and the guide-Mahib are highly recommended to anyone from any part of the world!
Great 1 day experience in Old Dhaka

5.00Great experience with Mahib. I went on as solo traveller. He customised the itinerary to my places of interest. We skipped some parts that I am not interested and spent more time to the place that I want to go. He was kind enough to include New Market to my experience list and helped me to bargain with the local seller. What a great experience. I really love all the historical explanations given by Mahib, and love the places included. I would say ots a Must-see and must-experience for the first time to get a full experience in a day. Usually, I will explore by myself, but in Dhaka, I felt the transport, the traffic, the people its a bit difficult to go by myself. By going with this trip, it helped a lot to experience everything.
Had a lovely day exploring

5.00This was a lovely tour in Dhaka. Mahim was a fantastic guide who knows the city very well. Dhaka is a very congested city so it really pays to have an experienced guide to navigate you through the madness! We shared in great conversation throughout the day as we explored. Tara Masjid was the highlight for me, it is so beautiful inside. I returned for a second visit after this tour I liked it so much. Lalbag Fort was also a highlight - wow what a beautiful place! I would highly recommend this private tour for those who want to see the special parts of this busy city. Bring your umbrella just in case :)
100% I would recommend!

5.00Eakram, the tour guide, made my trip! He was super flexible and kind. I told him anything i wanted to do and he was a very knowledgeable guide. It was his day off because of the holiday, but he still decided to take me, which im very grateful for. 10/10 experience. I would book with them again, when I come back to Bangladesh.
Full immersion in Dhaka

5.00I recommend everyone to sign up for this visit. the city of Dhaka is very chaotic and without an expert guide it would be impossible to visit all the places provided for by this trip. I also think that the choice of the itinerary is very good because it combines places of great historical value with markets and crafts. the passage on the river is very exciting. the guide Mahib was very helpful and open to all our questions. another important note, the van had air conditioning and they came to pick us up and brought us directly to the hotel. during the trip we also asked for a stop for shopping and there were no problems, even if this resulted in an extension of the scheduled times
10/10 would recommend!

5.00Mahim was excellent, with amazing historical and cultural knowledge of Dhaka and Bangladesh. Thank you for making my trip extra special ❤️ (and special shoutout to the driver - managing Dhaka traffic was certainly not an easy feat!)
