“Wow! What an incredible day tour we had with Arafat, our guide today. We can’t say enough about our fantastic experience exploring Dhaka with Panorama Bangladesh. Liton, our driver, was excellent — professional, calm, and incredibly skilled at navigating the heavy traffic of this vibrant city. He kept us safe, was always right where we needed him, and even chatted with us throughout the day.
Even though our flight arrived two hours late and we started much later than planned, Arafat still managed to include everything promised — plus a few wonderful surprises. He shared a wealth of information about Bangladesh’s history, geography, religion, culture, food, and daily life. His personal stories had us laughing as we walked, and we felt as if we were exploring the city with a friend rather than a guide we had just met.
He remained relaxed, warm, and outgoing all day, even as he kept thinking on his feet and adjusted our route so we didn’t miss a thing. Our walks through the wholesale markets of Old Dhaka, the Hindu temple area, the Armenian Church, and the Star Mosque were fascinating. We enjoyed watching a wedding feast, riding a rickshaw through the narrow lanes of Old Dhaka, and taking a traditional boat across the river to experience the incredible water traffic.
We wandered through the lively dock area and even toured one of the large riverboats before its departure. We visited the Pink Palace Museum, explored Lalbagh Fort, and even stopped by the parliament buildings. Looking back now, I can’t believe we fit all of this into one day.
Arafat treated us to traditional tea and ice cream, and we ended our tour with a delicious dinner at a local restaurant — biriyani, chicken curry, salad, naan, and the most wonderful rice pudding and yoghurt. It was a perfect end to a perfect day.
This tour gave us an authentic feel for the heart of Dhaka and the everyday lives of its people. Everywhere we went, locals greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome. Arafat was always attentive, making sure we stayed together and felt comfortable. In the end, he even accompanied us to our hotel and helped coordinate our airport transfer—an incredibly thoughtful gesture.
He went above and beyond for us in every way. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to explore this fascinating country with him. We are deeply grateful for this unforgettable experience. It was everything we hoped for and more.”
“I truly appreciated Arafat showing me around both Dhaka and Sonargaon, and I’m especially grateful for the extraordinary effort he put in to ensure my visa on arrival was issued smoothly at the airport. His support, knowledge, and dedication made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Panorama Bangladesh to anyone visiting Bangladesh.”
“We have just returned from our tour of Dhaka with Arafat Rasul, and it was absolutely fantastic. Both Arafat and his driver were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout the day. We have taken many local tours around the world and have visited over 100 countries — and this tour was by far the best we have ever experienced.
Arafat went above and beyond to ensure we saw everything on our list. His deep passion for his country, combined with his knowledge and caring personality, made this trip truly unforgettable. We are already looking forward to revisiting Bangladesh with Panorama Bangladesh.”
“I highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re visiting Bangladesh for the first time, navigating visa and permissions, or fulfilling a lifelong dream to see Louis Kahn’s National Parliament Building in Dhaka. Arafat handled absolutely everything with sophistication and effortless precision — from pre-trip communication and required documentation to coordinating an excellent driver and securing a thorough, approved visit inside the complex.
As a bonus, we also explored a remarkable modern mosque and a wonderful architectural bookstore. Thank you, Panorama Bangladesh, for a truly exceptional experience.”
“As a single parent travelling to Dhaka with two kids, I wanted a guide who would ensure everything went smoothly and safely — and Arafat exceeded my expectations in every way. He took exceptional care of us, making sure we arrived safely at our hotel at 3 AM, and thoughtfully adjusting the tour to our needs throughout the day.
He found fun, family-friendly activities, kept everything secure, and made us feel comfortable at all times. I would recommend Panorama Bangladesh to anyone visiting Dhaka — especially families.”
“This was another best tour with Panorama Bangladesh — and Arafat, the best tour guide — we have ever experienced. Arafat was invaluable, knowledgeable, and educational throughout our time together. He even assisted us with our entry into Bangladesh, which made our arrival remarkably smooth.
He customised the entire tour to match our interests and needs, and by the end of the day, we felt more like family than tourists. It was truly Panoramic Bangladesh. We highly recommend Panorama Bangladesh to anyone looking for a meaningful, insightful, and passionate learning experience.”
“I was in Dhaka for only one day and wanted to see as much of the city as possible, so I booked this one-day tour. It was excellent—I was able to visit most of Dhaka’s major sights, including the fascinating Old Dhaka.
The old city is crowded, noisy, and chaotic, and I could not have navigated it on my own. Having Arafat as my guide, along with a very skilled driver, made the experience smooth, safe, and enjoyable. I learned a great deal about Dhaka and Bangladesh, making the most of my short time in the city.”
“I had an incredible experience with Panorama Bangladesh. From the early trip planning to the days spent exploring Dhaka with Nayim and Liton, they handled everything with care and professionalism.
Although I only had four days in the city, I’m already hoping to return for a longer and more extensive tour of Bangladesh.
My guide, Nayim, was exceptionally kind, patient, and attentive. He listened closely to my needs as a photographer and went out of his way to find unique, meaningful spots for my shots. He was knowledgeable, warm, trustworthy, and always eager to ensure every detail of the day felt perfect. He’s not only a great guide but a genuinely lovely person.
Liton, our driver, was equally impressive. Navigating Dhaka’s heavy traffic is no small task, yet he handled it with remarkable skill and calm confidence. He’s also incredibly kind, with a gentle sense of humour that added joy to the trip.
Together, Nayim and Liton made a fantastic team. We shared stories, laughed often, and learned about each other’s cultures as we explored the beautiful country of Bangladesh. I felt safe, cared for, and truly welcomed throughout the entire journey.
I highly recommend this team to anyone visiting Bangladesh. You will be in excellent hands and have a wonderful experience.
Thank you all for an unforgettable trip. Hope to see you again soon!”
“We spent eight days exploring Bangladesh — starting with Dhaka and its surrounding areas, followed by a three-day boat expedition into the Sundarbans. Our guide, Zannatul Naim, was outstanding throughout the entire trip. He shared deep insights into Bangladesh’s history, culture, and daily life, bringing every location to life with fascinating details.
For the Sundarbans portion, we were joined by wildlife specialist Aiyub Ali, who was equally impressive. His expertise, sharp eye for wildlife, and passion for the forest made the experience truly unforgettable.
The entire journey was enriching, smoothly organised, and filled with memorable moments. We highly recommend this tour — it was a wonderful experience from start to finish.”
“We recently returned from a 23-day private tour of Bangladesh, organised by Panorama Bangladesh, and it exceeded all expectations. As experienced travellers from Australia, we knew Bangladesh would be different — but we were amazed by how much we enjoyed it.
Our itinerary covered Dhaka, Sreemangal, Sylhet, Barishal, Khulna, the Sundarbans, Rajshahi, Bogura, Rangpur, Sonargaon, Comilla, Chittagong, Rangamati, Bandarban, and Cox’s Bazar. Every destination brought something unique, and Dhaka alone is worth a visit for at least two days.
Panorama Bangladesh handled everything with exceptional professionalism.
We were also invited into their homes to meet their families — gestures that made our visit even more meaningful, deeply memorable.
For anyone considering Bangladesh, this company and team come highly recommended. They made our entire trip smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable.”
“Panorama Bangladesh is an excellent local DMC, and together with our guide Arafat, he organised a perfect trip showcasing the beauty of Bangladesh. I highly recommend their services—I didn’t just find reliable travel professionals, I found new friends.”
“Booking with Panorama Bangladesh was extremely easy. They were very responsive and helped with everything — the invitation letter, hotel recommendations, visa-on-arrival guidance, and more. Their communication was excellent throughout.
My guide, Naim, and driver, Liton, arrived on time, showed me everything on the itinerary, and were flexible based on my interests. I loved the rickshaw and boat rides they added, even though we had a private car.
Overall, an excellent experience — highly recommended!”
