Solid tour

I was pretty pleased with the services provided by Mam Holidays. There was a little bit of confusion picking me up from Dhaka Airport due to the chaotic nature of Hazrat Shahlajal, but that is water under the bridge. They definitely condensed the sightseeing attractions into a day which I greatly appreciated due to me only being in Bangladesh for 48 hours. The guide was very friendly but was a bit hard to understand at times. A little bit of work on that will be very helpful. I also really appreciated Mr Abdul Kashem tacking on a visit to the National Martyr's Monument in the afternoon free of charge after we finished all the Dhaka sightseeing attractions in the morning. He also gave me a huge discount for being a student which was very good. Overall, I can safely say that Mam Holidays will be an excellent asset towards making your stay in Bangladesh smooth and enjoyable, and will not hesitate to recommend them with the highest possible accolades.

no dieron ni la mitad de lo ofrecido

la excursión prometía una hora en barco, no hubo nada. además los dos museos estaban cerrados por "fiesta religiosa" no se ofrecieron otras excursiones alternativas. La excursión de dia completo terminó a la una de la tarde.
