Sonargaon is a tremendously ancient city in Bangladesh. The artistic architecture of the Mughal era attracted me with its beauty. Recently I visited the city with Travel Mate. That was an excellent day-long tour with Travel Mate. Mr. Shahadat is a very polite & highly knowledgeable tour guide. He pointed out all the necessary things & describe them properly as I wanted. I wish I will plan more tours with Travel Mate.

I would not recommend. The guide wouldn't shake my hand when I introduced myself, didn't really talk to me at all. We had a silent hour ride to the site. I even tried to give him the opportunity to give me an introduction for the days plan, he told me nothing. For a moment i wondered if i got in the wrong car. He told me nothing about the sites, he would tell me they are from "ancient times" "before Mughal". He would point to things made of wood and say "These are wood". No description of when are what things were. I can't even pronounce the name of the city because I never heard him say it, once. I had to Google all the sites when I got to hotel to figure out what I was looking at all day. He did personal shopping on the tour. Spent the car rides on his phone booking plane tickets. He seemed to have very little interest in me, didn't ask where i was from, I don't believe he ever asked my name, I can't remember because I was over it starting from the hour long car ride in silence.

I would not recommend this tour, was a waste. The 'Guide' didn't introduce himself, didn't shake my hand when I tried to introduce myself, just silently took me to the car and we had a silent hour drive to the site, which is very akward, for a moment I wondered if i got in the wrong car. I tried to give him the opportunity to tell me the itinerary for the day, or anything, nothing. Took no interest in me, didn't ask where I was from or anything. When we got to sites I received no information, he just told me they were from "Ancient Times" "Before Mughals". I can't even pronounce the name of the city because I never heard him say it... On our tour of the city haha. He did personal shopping on our tour. Was on phone most the rides booking plane tickets. Would point to things made from wood and say "These are wood". Pointless.
I had to look up the sites we went to when I got back to the hotel to even figure out what I saw all day. He seemed to struggle with my English, I'm a native English speaker.
I would recommend a different more professional tour
