amazing photography tour - Everything was well organized. Before attending the tour i was a little worried about safety issues due to being a female solo traveler. But the tour was beyond my expectations. During all of the day i felt safe. Rocky is very helpful about your requests, being kind, funny and he introduced their culture very well. I hope i can come again. And you shouldnt miss this tour if you are interested in photography. Thank you for everything Rocky, Dhonnobaad :)

Even though I'm not a... - Even though I'm not a profesional photographer, I picked this your to see the real side of Dhaka. Rocky was a fantastic tour guide: warm, professionals, knowledgeable and easy going. He planned the tour carefully to get the best out of each location whilst avoiding the busiest times in each of them. Rocky picked hidden gems to constantly keep the visitor in awe with the buzz of the city, skilled craftsmanship and ways of living. The driver was also excellent: calm and skilled for the heavy traffic (Dhaka is not for beginners!). He also used the first car with seatbelts I have gotten on in my whole journey to Bangladesh! Safe & comfortable.

Great tour of Dhaka! - What a great detailed trip by Rocky. Very well organized and you will see a different side of Dhaka as in more local. Comfortable air conditioned car will escort you around town. Rocky is knowledgeable and constantly making sure you are in good hands throughout walking in the busy streets. I felt very comfortable being with in the chaos. Many great highlights. (Do not wear white sneakers, a lot of mud even not on rainy days). Highly recommend this trip to take many great photos of Dhaka and see things other tour don’t offer. Thank you!

A Photographer’s Dream - OMG …. This tour is a photographer’s dream. My guide for the day was Rocky and what a fabulous guide he was. I was taken from one end of Dhaka to the other, travelling by car, rickshaw and boat. This is an all inclusive tour that includes hotel pickup and drop off, all transportation costs, drinks and a delicious Bangladesh meal. This tour was the absolute highlight during my stay in Dhaka. Everything I wanted to see was arranged. My tour including: 1. Shahbagh Flower Market 2. Kawran Bazar 3. Chawk bazar 4. Sadarghat Launch Terminal 5. Ship repair yards 6. Tejgaon Rail station This is my first time posting on TripAdvisor and I only do so to highlight that this is a must do tour for any amateur photographers looking to capture the images you only see in National Geographic. Many thanks for the great day Rocky, it was a blast!

Culture, food, photography, a good mix for me on a private tour with a good tourguide - I had a very good day with Rocky, who took me around the city to discover some interesting places. From the wet market (vegetable, fish,.meat, fruits) to the university. The local boat terminal the the ship scrap, the pink palace and the main train station of Dhaka. On various modes of transport, such as car, rickshaw, tuktuk and boat, we explored the city. We had good food, good conversations and some interesting insights of Bangladesh culture. Traveling is about learning, and I learned some new interesting things on this tour. @Rocly looking back on our tour today, I have one remark, gather some more facts about the history, some people might expect more detailed information. But for our tour today that didn't really matter. Getting to know a different culture is not always about facts.

No stress in Bangladesh with this day trip - Totally professional but authentic first glance of Dhaka. Thanks Rocky! I’m looking forward to doing another tour with Cholo Bangladesh Tours tomorrow, this time it will be all about the food! I’d book with these guys again anytime. Brilliant and fast communication.

Rocky, you're a star guide!!! - I had a quick trip to Dhaka and when I landed I quickly went online to find a local guide that could show me around. I came across Cholo Bangladesh Tours and sent them a message to see if they were available pretty much immediately. Rocky was super fast responding and within 20 min we arranged everything and met up in a few hours for a private tour of Dhaka. Rocky showed me the bazaars, local delicious street food, we did a rickshaw ride, crossed the river by boat and then headed to my highlight ... the shipyards! My Fuji was super happy and inspired all day :-) Rocky is enthusiastic, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
