This fun and relaxed walking tour will introduce you to the cultural mix of the city of Dhaka along with a glimpse of modern art and the lifestyle of the city's inhabitants. The tour begins with a modern art exhibition and a short walk through the city's cultural center, Dhanmondi. You will discover how the city's residents enjoy their leisure time and have the opportunity to enjoy some local street food if you wish. The two-and-a-half-kilometer walking tour will include free entry and visits to some fascinating points of interest, including a modern art exhibition, Rabindra Sarobar (the famous open stage for art theater), boating on Dhanmondi Lake (at your own cost), the French Cultural Hub in the city of Dhaka, a local street market, and many more. You might find monkeys stealing cookies from the tea stall if you're lucky and have many fun moments on this short walk. This tour will end at Dhaka College, from where you can take a local rickshaw (Tuk Tuk ride) if you wish. We will visit New Market, one of the oldest shopping areas in Dhaka, where I will help you understand how to bargain in Bangladeshi style! You can also try the famous 'Dhakaiya' street food and take home a fabulous recipe to try!
Rosetta's passion for travel took her from a small village in Bangladesh to Dhaka, the capital, and then to the UK. After discovering her true love for travel, local cuisine, and ancient history, she began exploring her country from a fresh perspective. Rosetta is fluent in English, is learning French, and also speaks some Hindi. Rosetta would love for you to join her in exploring the beauty and joy of Dhaka and enjoying a leisurely stroll!

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! :)

Tolle Geschichtliche Tour durch Dhaka. Sie konnte mir viel aus der Vergangenheit und was zur Zeit so in dem Land abgeht erzählen. War wirklich interessant und man kommt zu manchen Orten die man sonst nie gefunden hätte. Kann die Tour nur empfehlen.
