Mehedi is an excellent tour guide. I loved the way he was engaged with the environment. He had a lot of information about the local sites which I appreciated, and was able to navigate the different spots excellently. Since I was the only one in the tour, Mehedi was very flexible with the schedule and which spots to visit. At times, I just wanted to enjoy the sites quietly (especially the boat ride), and he also gave me the space to do that. I would definitely book him again and recommend him for others. Thanks very much Mehedi!

Book this tour, you won't regret it! Mehedi is an absolute gem, I had an absolutely wonderful experience with him. Dhaka is not an easy city to navigate alone, and as a solo female traveler I felt completely safe, comfortable and well looked after during this tour. Mehedi is lovely to talk to and the time flew, I felt like I was with a friend rather than with a guide Loved the experience and I hope to be back in Bangladesh to explore more of the country with Mehedi 😊😊

What an amazing experience. Mehdi was so kind and informative. The entire experience was fascinating. Mehedi brought me to places that I never would have found without him like the ship building area across the river. Do yourself a favor and book this Guru Walk and give generously to this bright young man.

Mehedi is an excellent guide, the tour around old Dhaka was very varied and his organisation made it an easy and enjoyable morning. Thank you!

This was a great tour to get to know Bangladesh, the culture and how people live. We took a boat on the river, saw the shipyards and sampled local food. That was my favorite part going to a local restaurant. Mehedi was very professional and helpful throughout the whole tour

I had a great time exploring Dhaka with Gorge. I was the only one on the tour, so I really appreciated that he still went ahead with it and even picked me up directly from my hotel instead of having me meet at the starting point. One thing to note is that this is not a purely walking tour because the distances between the sites are quite long, so you’ll use different forms of local transport along the way. In my case, we used a tuk-tuk from the hotel, several rickshaws between sites, and even took a boat across the Buriganga River, which added to the experience. You should expect to cover your own transport and entrance fees, either directly or by reimbursing George if he pays on your behalf. I personally found it easiest to just handle most of the smaller expenses myself. Unfortunately, I visited on 1 May, which was a public holiday, so both the Ahsan Manzil Museum and Lalbagh Fort were closed, though we still stopped for photos outside. On the plus side, the roads were much clearer than usual, because Dhaka traffic can be intense on normal days. Although GuruWalk lists the tour as four hours due to platform limitations, realistically you should set aside much longer on a regular day if you want to comfortably cover all the stops. Overall, it was a really good introduction to Dhaka, and I’m glad I got to see so many highlights with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Thanks, George!

Had a fantastic experience with Rosetta in Dhaka. She's deeply knowledgeable about Bangladesh's history and culture, and shared stories and context that really brought the city to life. The route covered a great mix of places across the city, well worth every minute. She's a great guide and a pleasure to spend time with. Strongly recommended!

I had a great experience on the free walking tour in Dhaka with Gorge. He is a very knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming host who made the city come alive with insightful explanations. Beyond the tour itself, Gorge went above and beyond by helping me organize tours in other parts of Bangladesh, which was very helpful and much appreciated. Overall, I felt very well taken care of throughout my time. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dhaka! Thank you George for your time! Already looking forward to coming back to Bangladesh!

Pocas veces escribo una review, pero ánimo encarecidamente a todo el que lea esto de que coja este tour. Lo hice solo y es lo mejor que hice ya que es imposible ver todo lo que Dhaca ofrece si vas por libre (y te lo dice un viajero con más de cien países a la espalda). Hacerlo con alguien local te ahorra tiempo y dinero. Enormemente agradecido a George y volvería a repetir una y mil veces el tour. muchas gracias!!

Even though I have visited Dhaka previously I wanted to get a better grasp of the city. Rosetta was great!! She skipped the places I've been and took me to new places so that I learned more. Greatly appreciated her customization and making sure that I had a great time.

From the very beginning, Rosetta reached out to coordinate the meeting point and starting time for the tour. She asked about my interests and what I planned to visit on my own, and then tailored the itinerary accordingly. She showed great flexibility and an impressive depth of knowledge on a wide range of topics. Her excellent English also made communication effortless. We explored the city on foot and by rickshaw, which added a special charm to the experience. Without a doubt, she turned my first day in Bangladesh into an unforgettable introduction to the country. I recommend her 100%—she’s truly outstanding!

The tour with Rosetta was amazing. She created it according to the things I wanted to see. All the different places we visited were really interesting and I learned so much about the country and the people. Also, she helped me a lot with additional information regarding sightseeing and shops to buy souvenirs. So thank you so much Rosetta! :)

5 stars for Rosetta! A great storyteller... her knowledge of Dhaka and Bangladesh's recent history, including the complexities of recent political changes, was truly impressive. She also introduced us to some unforgettable local foods! Highly recommend her tour for an engaging experience of Dhaka..

What a fun and informative few hours we had walking around Dhaka with Rosetta. She is a bundle of local knowledge, historical, political and social. She is passionate about her country, it's people, art, poetry, past, present and future. She is comfortable to be with from the outset and happy to tailor the walk to what we were interested in. Rosetta has a very generous and kind heart and it is clear her main intention is to teach visitors about her people and their history. We had a wonderful afternoon looking at art, tasting the amazing local food, seeing sights, architecture and culture. We would highly recommend a walk with Rosetta to anyone visiting Dhaka.

Rosetta perfectly tailored the tour to the important parts of Dhaka. We visited different markets, parks, fairs and art exhibitions. We sampled food and interacted with locals. And of course we took a rickshaw. I've learned so much about Dhaka and Bangladesh. I highly recommend taking this tour.

The afternoon with Rosetta didn't feel like a normal tour, it felt like exploring the city together with a (very knowledgeable!) friend. I was the only one on the tour and Rosetta adjusted the route according to my interests. If you're in Dhaka, this is your choice!

My afternoon with Rosetta was excellent. She was highly informative, and a very interesting person to chat with about Dhaka, Bangladesh, and beyond. She has a profound love of her home country and she shared this in an authentic and compelling manner. Dhaka can feel like a difficult place to access as a tourist, but this was the best way for me to start my time here. Thank you, Rosetta!
