Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban (the Bengali name for the building), or Bangladesh National Parliament is one of the must-sees of Bangladesh, an architectural masterpiece and a real accomplishment for the country. It was designed by world renowned American architect and Yale University Professor Louis I. Kahn. Originally commissioned by the Pakistanis when Bangladesh was known as East Pakistan after Partition of the Indian Sub-Continent, was meant to serve as the second seat of the national parliament. Construction of Bangladesh National Parliament started in 1964 but halted due to the Bangladeshi War of independence, and finally completed in 1982.

Wonderful way to see Dhaka! - My friend and I did this tour with Mahib. What an amazing experience. He was very knowledgeable about the country and he was happy to explain everything calmly to us. We had a lot of questions as it was our first time in Bangladesh and he was more than happy to answer our questions. He showed us a lot of interesting places and we were also able to try different Bangladesh foods. And the best part, he was a great photographer and was able to take wonderful pictures for us throughout the experience. Our driver was also amazing (though unfortunately I forget his name). If you are in Bangladesh for the first time I highly recommend this tour. What a wonderful experience we had! 10/10 would recommend especially with Mahib.

Full of historical linked with all religion as well as a good food guide - It was my spl trip after Eid , therefore I had full access of comfort of an ac car while visiting the city because roads were not so jammed .. no need to take rickshaw.. wow it was amazing experience , like the old historical city as well as new modern city ..it covered all . For lunch always ask for dish like kachhi biriyani with chinigura rice at old Dhaka city resturant only .. it will blow your mind . Also in the morning near lalbag for there is a tea stall with snacks that was mind blowing taste just ask for it !!

Immerse Yourself in Dhaka's Vibrant Culture with Mahib's Exceptional Tour - Discover the heart of Dhaka with Mahib, an exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable local guide. His tour expertly navigates the city's bustling streets, providing a fascinating glimpse into Bangladesh's rich history and economy. Mahib's ability to adapt the itinerary ensures a seamless experience. A highlight is the unique boat ride, offering a fresh perspective on the city. However, cleanliness-conscious folks may prefer to skip this part. Throughout the tour, Mahib's attentive explanations make for an educational and engaging experience. His English proficiency makes this tour highly recommended for English-speaking visitors eager to immerse themselves in Dhaka's local culture.

Amazing experience if interested in history - Liberation war museum. A great place to review the traumatic history of 1971 war. My guide Al Amin was an excellent guide and great companion.

If in Dhaka, you must spend time in the old city and explore the river area - To actual see the mass of humanity in such tight quarters, yet the whole thing seems to work. The thing to see here is the old city. Thoroughly enjoyed the craziness as an experience in humanity. You acquire a new understanding of a rickshaw! Amazing drivers….

Enjoyable, Informative and Flexible 🌼 - We loved going around Ahsan Manzil and the boat ride on the Buriganga River was amazing. The tour gave us a flavour of Old Dhaka plus a few minutes by the impressive Parliament Building. We discovered the fragrance and colours of the Shahbagh Flower 🌺 Market as well as the splendour of the Shahid Minar up close. Even better though if we had more time to spend in the Star Mosque!

Do not hire this company - Didn’t visit the pink palace, nobody warned us it was closed on Thursdays. Also very minimal effort from the guide with regards of timing. We arrived at the mosque during the prayer time so couldn’t enter
