Support a Local Business: By directly booking with us instead of the giant foreign online platforms like Viator, ToursByLocals, GetYourGuide, TourRadar, Expedia, Kayak, or many others like them dominating the industry with huge marketing budgets that only sell other local companies' tours and charge them a hefty commission, you are also supporting a local small business instead of a giant foreign corporation.

How is your Dhaka Photography Tour different than the others?

Safety: Ensuring your safety is our top priority. We equip our boat rides with life jackets, which almost no one uses in Bangladesh. We never compromise safety by overloading the boat on the rivers. Our drivers are trained to navigate the roads, providing a safe journey in a country where driving can be chaotic. Our vehicles will have seatbelts, which is extremely rare in Bangladesh.
Comfortable Car: Your comfort is our concern. We provide spacious, clean cars with air-conditioning to navigate the hectic Bangladeshi traffic for long hours. We never compromise on comfort by squeezing you into the middle seats. Everyone gets a comfortable window seat for a relaxing journey.

Provided the learning for which we travel

Bangladesh is a rewarding destination. Not because it has one or a few must-see sights (like the Taj Mahal, Amritsar, Bagan) for which a single trip would be justified. It’s the sum of all the varied experiences that makes Bangladesh special. It shouldn’t be missed.

A rewarding experience

The Glory of Bangladesh tour was excellent, providing insight into the country’s history and culture. Its core interest for me was covering the country’s three World Heritage Sites [Bagerhat, Sundarbans and Somapura Mahavihara]. The tour provided so much more.

Felt like one of the safest countries I have travelled to

It is probably fair to say that Bangladesh for various reasons isn't on many people's wish list of places to visit but ironically that is one of the main reasons we wanted to visit. It was extremely refreshing and rewarding to travel around a country, unspoiled by mass tourism.
