5.00I recently took the Sonargaon Day Tour from Dhaka City, and overall it was a pleasant, informative outing that gave me insight into Bangladesh’s rich cultural heritage. The itinerary offers a good mix of historical, architectural, and cultural stops, giving a fuller picture of life around old Dhaka. The local guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing stories and details. Transportation, timings, and transitions between sites were handled smoothly, which made the day feel relaxed rather than rushed and highly recommended.

5.00Had a full day of fun, activities and adventures. Started our day by visiting ancient mosque Goaldi, aged more than 500 years, continued to the old capital Sonargaon which is known now as Sonargaon Folk Museum. Amazing architectural style, wonderful museum to know about history and way of living tents and village. Panam city is a great part of the tour. Had a great lunch and our last spot was Taj Mahal, an imitation to the real one in Agra, India. Great tour, our guide Mr. Shahadat is very kind and informative. He cares a lot for a successful tour. Reasonable price. Highly recommended. Thank you Mr. Shahadat. Thank you Travel Mate.

3.00The mini Taj and Panam city. Not a lot to see and 40 minutes out to this place and 3.5 hours back. The worst traffic and I live in Los Angeles! Plus I was charged the single supplement price and yet it wasn’t solo as I shared the experience with a Turk. Nice guy, but I should get a partial refund.
Disappointed

3.00Tour guide, Charro apparently not aware of what was to be included in price of tour. Charged repeatedly for included items Many hours spent in car, in traffic. Tour guides command of English seemed quite limited, unable to provide much useful information when at sights, museums etc. Did show up promptly for hotel pickup.
