We had a great time discovering more of Dhaka with this private guided tour of the city. We covered the main sites such as the Pink Palace, Armenian Church, Central Shaheed Minar, Curzon Hall, Dhakeshwari temple, Parliament building and even did a small boat tour of Buriganga river and a quick ride on a rickshaw! It was a very busy day but we saw so much and got to try some local food for lunch. Would 100% recommend this tour. A must if you visit Dhaka - especially given how hard it is to navigate around the city. Thanks Rocky for a great trip!storeykaty_

I visited Dhaka this August with a group of friends. This tour was perfect to see all the best places in the city! Our tour guide Rocky had lots of interesting information about each place we visited and was also really lovely to talk to, and made sure everyone was having the best day possible! We travelled in a very comfortable minibus and there were many opportunities to get out and explore at different locations. I would recommend this tour to anyone in Dhaka - they can adapt it to your recommendations and ideas, and also ensure that you see many of Dhaka’s interesting places. Thank you Rocky, we hope to see you again!Charliedclarke

We went for the old Panam City ruins and Sonargaon tour, with a relaxing boat ride in the afternoon. Rocky is a fantastic and friendly tour guide, he speaks good English and is knowledgeable on all the sites he brought us to see. The day trip was just nice, not too taxing while giving us a good taste of the old town and Bangladeshi village charms viewed from the river. Rocky is very accommodating to our requests. We highly recommend his tour package.863liamf

a great few days in the sprawling and overwhelming metropolis of Dhaka. Rocky is generous, street savvy, and listens and anticipates the needs of his clients. The sights were put into context and the food was delicious - and if you're lucky enough to get a musical interlude, good for you!

As an architect, my trip to Dhaka for a conference was enriched doubly by spending the day before with Rocky, as he showed me the real character of Dhaka. From our communications via Trip-Advisor, pick-up at my hotel and journeying via private car and rickshaw, the colors, sights and tastes of the city came alive. I was lucky to arrive on a holiday so the infamous Dhaka traffic was barely noticeable as Rocky took me to see the Louis Kahn designed Parliament House, the old Armenian Church, Hindu Temples, Universities as well as a slow jaunt up the Burigunga River. Our lunch was a spread of Bangali dishes, which far surpassed the food I had during the remainder of the trip. Rocky's spirit, knowledge and open mindedness was instrumental in gaining an insider's view to this future leading city of the Indo-Pacific. Cholo Bangladesh!
