Memorable city trip ,,Dhaka”
Sep 2016 • Solo
I really enjoyed the day with Jewel. He is a excellent guide with a huge knowledge. I saw many sights and learned new things about Dhaka, Bangladesh und the culture. The points of interest were choosen carefully and showed a diverse of Dhaka. As well Jewel took care about my ideas and questions. He never got tired of all the issues I asked for and responded each and every inquiry. This trip not only diverts my thoughts for many hours it expands my horizon with many new aspect of thinking! While we were exploring the University and other buildings and points of interests around, seeing old Dhaka, the Lalbagh Fort, the hindu street, the port and at least the Pink palast I always felt well guided and safely. We tasted local food and Jewel showed me places to buy nice souvenirs, handcrafts and snacks. He is such a interessting person and took care of all my needs. It seems that he knows this city likes his pocket. We had such a laugh by trying to ride a rickshaw. Time flew and I am still amused by this city and all the beauty and interesting sights we explored. I highly recommend this tour for everybody!

Wonderful Tour of Rural Dhaka
Oct 2016 • Solo
It’s hard to imagine a better guide than Jewel. He is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fluent in English, tireless in his efforts to please, and fun to be with!
Jewel guided me on a day tour of rural Dhaka, visiting among other things, an old palace, a fascinating rural village with wonderfully friendly people and curious children, an ironcraft workshop, and a Hindu pottery village that had to be reached by boat. It’s a day I’ll remember for a long time. Thank you, Jewel!

Day tour to old dhaka

The tour was great. Even if is only one day, you get a glimse of Dhaka and its culture. The agency took care of everything. Jewel (the owner) helped me getting all the info i needed. Habib (the driver) got a great attitude despite the crazy traffic in the city. Rocky (the guide) was great and have a really good time. Totally recommended.

A Great Day Of Exploring

Jewel was very cooperative with us about everything, including the itinerary and timings. Not only did our foreign friends get to learn a little bit about Dhaka, but even my husband and I, who are Dhakaiites, experienced the city in a whole new way. We explored the labyrinth of the Old Town, had a feast for lunch, and even boated along the Buriganga amongst other things. Jewel’s passion for being a guide really shines through and while he is very knowledgeable on various, he also isn’t afraid to admit if he doesn’t know something. All in all, a great day!

Exhilarating and colourful tour of Dhaka city
Nov 2019
A friend recommended Jewel’s tour company when I was searching for options for a Dhaka city tour for myself and a friend from Europe (who was visiting Bangladesh for the first time). We started at 9am and, over the course of the day, visited 10+ different sites (mosques, museums, churches, etc.), ate at a typical, local restaurant in Old Dhaka, walked through markets and several packed and vibrant side roads, went on a boat ride on the Buriganga and much more. Our guide Afridi was friendly, knowledgeable and very relaxed. What was particularly appreciated was that he took care of all payments, entry tickets, etc. – which helped make things much easier.
Overall it was a memorable trip that my friend found wonderful. The tour also gave me a chance to reconnect with the city I grew up in. Many thanks to Jewel and Afridi from us both!

First time in Dhaka
Nov 2019
I booked the Old Dhaka tour last minute, as I was concluding my business trip and didn’t have a lot of other time to see the city. As a solo female traveler, I was hesitant at first and not sure of what to except. My tour guide and driver were very kind and professional, and I greatly enjoyed their company. The tour guide was a young university student, who spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable and eager to share his city. I don’t recall the names of all the places we visited, but we went to the bustling market in the morning, walked around the university campus, visited the new market and watched artists sew and stamp fabrics, stopped for lunch and tasted different mashed vegetable dishes, and in the afternoon visited some historic sites: the pink buildings in a garden, the pink palace, the Armenian church, a Hindu temple, a mosque, and we also visited the river front and walked around one of the big ferries. I decided not to go on a river boat ride, but we did ride a few rickshaws which was quite fun actually, despite the hectic traffic and the absolutely crazy city streets. Thank you very much for an interesting cultural experience! And a big thank you to my guide. It was a pleasure to talk to a friendly local, and learn more about the culture of Dhaka.

Experience Old Dhaka

Thanks to Royal Bengal Tours we had a great day out in Old Dhaka with Jewel, who is an amazing guide. He is very knowledgeable, kind, respectful and funny and has friends all over old Dhaka, who will invite you for a cup of tea. Jewel was able to organise our tour on a very short notice and enabled us not only to see the most famous sights but more importantly to meet the people of Old Dhaka and to thereby get a real insight into everyday life in this incredibly busy part of the mega city. You haven’t seen Dhaka until you do this tour! I can fully recomment this tour!
