Great professionals... - All has been properly treated Mahadi during reservation a few weeks ago.
Very good and fluid comunication.
We had a perfect idea of the programme and how all was organised.
Then we ad Jeru as our Guide and he is a fantastic. Always available for another explanation and call att for some details during the tour.
Our driver is a "machine" dealing with Dhaka's caotic but also fluid traffic... so interesting to see how he managed to go trough with safety... also an experience itself.
A great experience with very good professionals

I recommend this tour - Shovon was my guide for a tour of many Dhaka and Bangladesh points of interest. Largest wholesale food market, flower market, religious points of interest, and a boat ride. Shovon made sure I was comfortable and seeing what I wanted to see and took care that I was comfortable. I felt safe and we had good communication. Shovon added in many extras that I enjoyed, I learned a lot about the city. I recommend this tour.

Great Dhaka and Sonargaon tours - Went on two day tours with Jerry. One day had a chance to visit old city of Sonargaon. We went there by airconditioned car. Everything was on time and had a chance to visit a few interesting places out of Dhaka. On second day I visited Dhaka using local transport. The operator was flexible and I was able to have a tour a day later without a charge as my flight got cancelled. I can recommend their services.

Great and informative tour! - I had such an amazing time exploring Dhaka with Shovon! I got to see so much in one day including markets, a boat ride, the pink palace, and the amber fort. Shovon was really patient with me and had a lot of information and I felt safe the entire time. The driver was also amazing and always ready on the busy streets to pick us up when we wrapped up the attraction.
HIGHLY recommend this tour to explore the city.

Amazing and NOT a tick-all-the-boxes tour - I enjoyed this very much and would recommend it. As a solo female traveler with just 1 day to discover Dhaka, I feel I made the best use of my time and learned a lot by having Jery to show me around.
We went for 6h exclusively using rickshaws, CNGs and a boat he hailed on our way, and ate in a local restaurant. All payments are handled by the guide. Jery is experienced, respectful and very knowledgeable (plus, he knows the guards of the historic sites so I could also talk to them). I feared this would be a tick-all-the-boxes rush tour. But it isn’t. The guide adapted to my interests and pace. On the streets I saw very few western tourists and a lot more men than local women, but always felt at ease.
I booked online the day before and then texted through the website contact link. Choose if you can Friday or Saturday, when traffic is less dense.

Great day out! - I had a really good day! Shovon did a real nice cross section of Dhaka, from seeing some of the ways the locals live on the river and in the markets, to also seeing some of the attractions like the fort. I would recomemnd

The best way to explore Dhaka within a day! - As a solo traveler, it was an absolute delight! If you want to see authentic Dhaka city within a day, book this tour! Kudos to Bangladesh Eco Adventure for curating such an enriching experience. The guide, Jery, was knowledgeable and spoke good English. What's more, it was stress-free day trip since he handles all payments to locals. 👍 Highly recommended!

Fun, easy, and thorough - The tour was great. It hit all the highlights. Jery was a great guide. Very accommodating, careful, not pushy at all and made me feel safe, which is important as a solo traveler. I recommend wearing closed toe shoes.
