We had a great tour with Mahib. We were able to visit Goaldi Mosque, Panam Nagar and the Sonargaon Folk Arts and Crafts Museum. Mahib was knowledgeable and very accommodating. We have already recommended this tour to our family and friends. We will definitely be booking more tours with Mahib in the future!

This was a nice trip taken on a combination of car, rickshaw and public bus. I visited several places in historic Sonargaon including the ancient Panam Nagar, Goaldi mosque and a river island with a local community. There were lots of chances to try local snacks along the way. At the end back in Dhaka we visited two markets. My guide Rahman was very knowledgeable and provided lots of information throughout the day. Overall a packed but very enjoyable day.
