Explore the backyards of Old Dhaka on a half-day tour. Explore bustling Kawran Bazar, wander through charming backstreets, and visit iconic landmarks like Dhaka University. Dip into the city’s rich history and culture with a knowledgeable guide, and enjoy a relaxing rickshaw ride or boat trip along the Buriganga River.
A half-day trip to Old Dhaka is a very brief introduction to the life and culture of Old Dhaka. A half-day-old Dhaka trip is the only option for travelers who have a few hours to explore old Dhaka. A Dhaka city tour is worth it if you even have 4-5 hours in hand. We know every inch of our city; maybe we can offer you something interesting near your place so you don’t have to spend much time in traffic. Just give us a call…

Old Dhaka with an expert guide
Feb 2018 • Solo
I have contacted Royal Bengal Tours for an organized half day photography tour of old Dhaka. I had the chance to be the only candidate for this day a bit out of season, and I benefited from the whole availability of Jewel, whose name is not by chance. This guy loves his city, knows everything about it, speaks excellent English and has the rare talent to understand the type of person he has in front. He discussed in advance all his proposals for the itinerary and he shaped for me the perfect tour for stunning images of the colorful reality of this devastating city. Strongly recommended!

Good time
Oct 2018 • Couples
We had a morning tour to Old Dhaka with Munna, who was very knowledgeable, friendly and spoke very good English. He took us on a rowing boat across the river and we saw the way ships are being renewed which was impressive. We also saw some of the other highlights. We felt the price was quite high for a half day tour considering local prices, however we had a good time. Munna took good care of us. Thanks!

Fantastic Half Day Tour
Reviewed November 7, 2018
I had a fantastic personal half day tour of Dhaka arranged when I had a long stopover between flights. Jewel put together an itinerary to show me the best bits of Dhaka and ‘Me-too’ was an enthusiastic and informative guide on the day. I was well looked after throughout the tour and would thoroughly recommend Royal Bengal Tours to anyone visiting Dhaka.

Wonderful Half Day Tour of Old Dhaka with Mithu!
I called Jewel at Royal Bengal Tours in Dhaka and he immediately arranged for a custom half-day tour of Old Dhaka for me with a car, driver, and fantastic tour guide named Mithu, who spoke beautiful English and was a well informed and expert guide. He took me where I wanted to go, suggested additional interesting stops, explained everything in a great, easy going style. Not too much talk, not too little. Perfect. When he learned of my particular interest in aquarium fish, he took me to visit a series of aquarium shops. He was very attuned to my preferences and was responsive and supportive. He even followed up with additional info by email. A true professional.

Brilliant half-day intro to Old Dhaka!
Jan 2020 • Friends
I can’t say enough good about our tour guide Jewel. He was so organized and kind and knowledgable about every detail (and welcomed aaaall our questions). He even fit us in at the last minute. We learned SO much and got a (literal) delicious taste of the market. You’ll tour through places you never could find on your own. Lots of walking and be prepared for many different smells! Great option if you can’t fit in a full-day experience. You haven’t really seen Dhaka until you do this tour! Thank you Royal Bengal Tours! You made my visit!

Wonderful Experience with Royal Bengal Tours
Jan 2025 • Solo
I had a wonderful experience with Royal Bengal Tours during my recent trip to Bangladesh. It was a pleasure getting to meet Jewel, my guide. His tour of the city was exceptional and fit perfectly within my work plans. Despite it being a half-day tour, we were able to explore a significant part of the city, including the old town, and return to Gulshanin half day, exactly to schedule.
Jewel’s inquisitiveness about my interests in architecture added a special dimension to the tour. He brought along a book of interesting architectural sites within Bangladesh, which I found super informative. His thoughtfulness and passion for Bangladesh made the day both educational and enjoyable.
Even in such a short amount of time, I learned a lot from Jewel. He is an intriguing person with a deep interest in showcasing dirent aspects of Dhaka’s culture. I am keen to do another, potentially longer, tour with Jewel when I next visit Bangladesh.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the cultural and historical heritage of Dhaka. Jewel has also put considerable effort into making his website accessible and creating thoughtful and pamphlets.
