Testimonial
What travelers remember.
The landmarks matter. The people who help you understand them matter more.
I had the pleasure of joining a walking tour of Old Dhaka, and it was unforgettable. Mithu is incredibly knowledgeable, respectful, and considerate—not only toward his guests, but toward the local people and environment. He adapted the tour to our interests without ever pushing his own agenda. It felt more like wandering through the city with a new friend than following a traditional tour guide.

During four days exploring Chittagong and Cox’s Bazar, Abid led us to hidden gems we would have missed without his local expertise. His knowledge and ability to curate unforgettable experiences gave us an authentic glimpse into the heart of Bangladesh. We met warm locals, savored delicious food, and soaked in breathtaking natural beauty. Dhaka Travel Guide will be my first choice when I return.

Abid goes out of his way to make sure every guest has a fantastic experience. I would absolutely recommend Dhaka Travel Guide for a seamless and memorable adventure.

Bangladesh travel questions
Frequently asked questions.
Practical answers about hiring a Dhaka tour guide, planning private tours, transport, pricing, and payments.
01Do your guides speak English?
Yes. Every listed experience can be led by a knowledgeable English-speaking local guide. Your guide explains Bangladesh’s history, culture, food, religious context, and everyday life in clear English, while leaving time for questions and adapting the pace to your interests.
02Can you arrange a Dhaka tour at short notice?
Often, yes. We can arrange many private Dhaka day tours at short notice when a suitable guide and transport are available. Share your date, group size, pickup point, and preferred route as early as possible so we can check access and propose realistic timing.
03Do you provide airport or hotel pickup and drop-off?
Yes. Airport or hotel pickup and drop-off can be arranged for Dhaka tours, subject to your confirmed itinerary. For longer private Bangladesh tours, we can also coordinate an air-conditioned vehicle and driver. Your written plan will identify the pickup point, transport type, timing, and included transfers.
04Which places in Bangladesh can I visit with you?
Our private tours cover Old Dhaka, Sonargaon and Panam City, the Sundarbans, Cox’s Bazar, Sreemangal, Barishal, Chattogram, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Kushtia. You can choose a focused city day, food or photography experience, rural journey, wildlife route, festival plan, or a multi-day Bangladesh itinerary.
05How much does a private Bangladesh tour guide cost?
Listed day tours currently start from $35 per person. Your final private-tour price depends on the route, duration, group size, pickup, transport, entrance fees, meals, accommodation, and seasonal availability. Request a written quote for your dates so every included and excluded cost is clear before booking.
06How can I pay for a tour?
Available payment options include Mastercard, Visa, other supported credit cards, bank transfer, and several major currencies. We will confirm the suitable method, currency, amount, schedule, and any relevant payment instructions in writing before you pay, so the booking terms remain clear.
07What is the best way to plan a first trip to Dhaka?
For a first visit, keep each Dhaka day geographically focused. Explore Old Dhaka’s heritage, markets, food, and riverfront together, then reserve a separate route for modern architecture and museums. Confirm opening conditions and allow flexible travel time, because traffic, weather, prayer times, and local events can change the plan.
