Dhaka City Tour auf lokale Weise - Erkunden Sie Dhaka wie ein Einheimischer!

This was the perfect tour for my first day in Dhaka. I booked this tour to visit the more complicated tourist attractions in Dhaka, in which having a guide is essential to experience without complications. Rocky also offered explanations and background on places throughout the tour. He is an incredible guide and seems like he understands western customs well, making you feel comfortable at all times. Highlights were the Sadarghat, boat ride, and Ship Repair/Salvage yards. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the tour, and would even recommend booking longer tours with Rocky outside of Dhaka, if you have the chance.

Amazing tour with rickshaw and experiencing Bangladesh in a local way! Rocky introduces to both culture and history in a gentle way. Highly recommended!

The absolute best way to see Dhaka! I was in the region again and decided to plan for a couple days in Bangladesh after my original plan to visit was cancelled in March 2020 due to Covid. The previous cancellation was a bit of a blessing in disguise as I do not believe the day tours I had booked previously were with Rocky at Cholo, but now I couldn't imagine having experienced Bangladesh with anyone else! I had two full days to spend in country and after a bunch of research and coming across various tour operators, it appeared Cholo offered the best itineraries to make the most out of my time. However, given I was traveling on the weekend, and during Ramadan, I knew some of the standard itineraries would need to be altered a bit due to sites being closed and food not being as readily accessible during the day. So, I decided to reach out to Cholo directly to discuss how to make a combination of Dhaka the Local Way, Panam/Sonargaon and a food tour all work during the time I'd be in country. Rocky was quick to respond and provide a proposed itinerary that contained everything I had hoped to get out of my trip and more! The day before the tour, Rocky reached out on WhatsApp to confirm the starting time and he was in my hotel lobby 10 minutes before that to make sure I wasn't waiting at all. He was also right on time the second day as well. My tour (really 3 separate tours combined into a customized weekend with Rocky) was absolutely perfect! He was always asking if I wanted to see or do something else and making sure I was comfortable with everything, and during the food tour, despite the difficulties with Ramadan, he made sure I was still able to try great local food and kept asking if I wanted more to eat or drink. Overall, I couldn't imagine the tours going any better! If you're traveling to Bangladesh, I presume you are bit of an intrepid traveller to begin with as it's not your typical first stop as a tourist, so it's good to go into the country expecting the energy and organized chaos of the 2nd densest city in the world, but as long as your expectations are properly set, you will have an absolute blast with Rocky and you will always feel comfortable and in good hands with him! Also, I know he offers the city tour by car as well, but let me just say, if you can handle it, definitely do the tour "the local way"! Traffic is already beyond insane enough going by rickshaw which can squeeze down narrow paths and get you places faster, so if you try to do this by car, I'd imagine you'd add multiple hours to the time of the tour just in your car being stuck in traffic rather than on the streets interacting with the locals who are so excited to see tourists. Dhaka the local way is really the only way to see the real Dhaka, and I have to believe travelling with Rocky and Cholo is the only way to see the real Bangladesh! I can't wait to come back and see more of the country with him outside of the chaotic city. Thanks Rocky! Don't forget about me when you become a famous YouTube star!
