Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, is a historical city filled with cultural and archaeological attractions, and hospitable, smiling people with lip-smacking food to taste. A large number of incoming visitors who come for business, jobs, meetings, tourism, visiting friends and relatives and any other purpose come to this city and travel to other cities of Bangladesh via Dhaka. However, they didn’t have a concrete tourism product ready to use to explore this metropolis. Visitors must have done customised city trips according to their wish, time and resources available to them. But a standardised tourism product of the guided city tour was missing. Dhaka City Tour has come as a solution to this.
