        Beautiful riverine experience
        My colleague and I went to Dhaka for a conference and wanted to explore Barisal for some backwater travels. Thanks to Razbe, we were able to take different types of launch (steamer ship with overnight cabins), motorboat, and rowing boat, to see in detail many aspects of life on the rivers. Razbe custom-tailored the trip according to our timing and the places we wanted to see. It was fascinating to see all the boats, logging factories, vegetable markets, guava and hogs-plum plantations. All of this required local experience in contacting drivers and boatmen and knowing when and where to visit to see the people in action; as foreigners with limited time and no language skills, this was the best part of our travels (our attempts to see old Dhaka not very successful due to not taking the traffic and opening times into account!). The Barisal trip was operfectly smooth and well managed; Razbe was very kind in accommodating our various funny requests such as getting us tasty lotus flowers and ilish fish. We also met lovely hospitable people during the trip who invited us into their homes for tea. Overall this was a beautiful experience. I would recommend Razbe's team to anyone who wants to get the best of out their time in Bangladesh!

        Tour in Sreemangal
        I had an amazing time in Sreemangal, mostly because of the wonderful guide Razbe! He showed me around, told me about the area and brought me to places I would not go without him! I would highly suggest to ask him for a tour if you are planning to go to Sreemangal!!

        Great experience, very well organised tour!
        We did a 5-day private tour in Bangladesh with Orient Tourism Channel - what an extraordinary experience! After buying the flights to Dhaka, we were very lucky to find the website of Orient Tourism Channel and from that point on , everything went on very smoothly. Rezba was very good at helping us put together the tour - we visited Dhaka / Sonargaon / Barishal + Delta / Srimangal. The whole experience was amazing, Rezba was very good at showing us around and explaining about Bangladesh. We had the opportunity to see how people live and work and everything was very well organised but at the same time relaxing and enjoyable. We travelled by car / boat / train / rickshaw. We saw interesting places, met extremely friendly people, learned about Bangladesh history, culture, traditions... Rezba did his best to create the perfect holiday for us, including the papers in order to get the visa on arrival. I would recommend anyone to visit Bangladesh and rely on Orient Tourism Channel. Thank you, Rezba!

        Great experience
        I used this company twice - once in Sreemangal and once in Sylhet. The guide was so great, and very patient to point out various orangatangs to me! Highly recommend.

        Travel Like a Local
        We are typically independent, budget travelers. The problem is there are no up-to-date guidebooks for Bangladesh at the moment. There are very few blogs, and many of the reviews and travel tales we came across detailed quite a few travel mishaps, many of them a bit scary. It was obvious places would be pretty challenging to get to, and we'd be limited to the main 'tourist hubs.' There also seemed to be a limited choice of accommodation on booking apps compared to the amount you can see on Google Maps, and I couldn't find an app in English for transport booking. I did a lot of research, and eventually, I contacted Razbe from Orient Eco-Tourism. I explained we wanted a local experience and asked for suggestions as to whether everything on our wishlist was doable. We went back and forth a few times, tossing out places that required hard-to-get and expensive permits and a couple of other places that would have escalated costs, and came up with a 22-day tour titled 'Travel like a Local' for a very reasonable price. It was so fabulous. We saw and experienced sooooo much more of Bangladesh and its people than if it had been just us traveling independently. Eusuf was with us for the first 18 days, and Razbe himself joined us for the last 4. They are both extremely knowledgeable and skilled guides who are passionate about their country but realistic about its shortcomings. Razbe is a quiet soul, and Eusuf has a belly laugh that comes from his toes. He kindly invited us to his home to meet his wife and young son and is generous to a fault. The people in the minority villages all know and respect him, which in turn added to our experience. Having a guide/translator made us accessible to the locals and them to us. Meeting the people was definitely one of the highlights. Our experience with Razbe and Eusuf has given us a lot more understanding of this part of the world, and honestly, the Bangladeshi people are gorgeous. It's been one of our favorite adventures so far (in 15-plus years of constant travel and 136 countries.) But you will probably need help to access both the country and its people. We happily recommend Orient Eco-Tourism as a company you can trust to organize your visit. #visitbangladesh #bangladeshtourism

        Great Customer Care
        I had a great experience with this tour company. I was traveling alone to Sundarban so they assisted with getting me there and back. We had some extra time so the guide took me around town a bit and joined me for dinner so that he could deliver me to my bus when it was ready to leave.

        Professional guide for Sreemangal
        We had a really interesting guided tour of Lachawara National Park in Sreemangal, with Razbe. He is a professional guide speaking English fluently. He knows a lot about culture and nature in the park and we are really happy we met him. We highly recommend him if you come to Sreemangal.

        Peaceful forest and tea plantation walk with the wonderful guide, Razbe
        We visited Srimongol and Dhaka from December 17 to 27, 2022. The weather was perfect. Razbe was with us for a day-tour in the Lawachara National Park as well as another one-day tour in the tea plantation. We were both very happy to have him as a guide as (other reviewers wrote) he is knowledgeable, responsible, punctual and considerate. He also took us to some tribal villages, and I was delighted to have opportunities to chat with some people there. Razbe seems to have a good relationship with villagers and respect their lifestyles and cultures. Thank you very much for your great service, Razbe. He is someone we can trust and we highly recommend him. 2022年12月にスリモンゴルを訪れた際にガイドのRazbeさんにお世話になりました。彼はエコシステムについての知識が豊富で、Lawachara National Parkを案内いただいたときも、自分たちだけでは見つけられなかったであろう植物や動物をたくさん紹介いただきました。モ二プル族などの村にも連れていっていただきましたが、村の人々ととても良い関係を築いているようで、尊敬を持って人々に接している姿が好印象でした。Razbeさんは、知識豊富なうえ、責任感や思いやりを持った信頼できる方です。ドライバーさんも危険な運転など一切なかったです。Razbeさん、一押しです!

        One day Sreemangal tour
        In October 2022, I took one day tour in Sreemangal with guide Suleman Hasif. The tour started very early in the morning and included the following stops: Lawachara National Park (plants, animals, tribal village), Madhabpur Lake (scenic spots), Noor Jahan Tea Gardens (scenic spots), Bangladesh Tea Research Institute and Baikka Beel Wetlands (sanctuary, birds, scenic spot). Suleman is a knowledgable guide and speaks very good English. I recommend Suleman's tour for anyone who wants to see lots of interesting and scenic places around Sreemangal, and has limited amount of time (as I had).

        Good bike rental service!
        I hired a motorbike in Sreemangal with Orient Tourism. The bike was delivered to the trainstation, as requested, which was very convenient. We had a great time exploring the tea gardens and even went all the way to the exciting hum hum waterfall. All in all a great bike and great service from Razbe. By the way Razbe, the tea you gave is great! Thanks. Highly recommend.

        Great Tour Guide in Sreemangal
        My group of four did a tour of Sreemangal and Sylhet, and in just three days saw a remarkable number of sites including Lawachara National Park, the national tea institute, and Madhoppur Lake. We even made it up to (and slightly over!) the border with India at Jaflong. Along the way we tried the famous 7-layer tea, the most delicious dal bhat, and the Manipuri community. Thank you to Razbe and Suluman for taking such good care of us!

        Enjoyable tour
        We took up a day tour of Sreemangal via auto rickshaw. Visited the Lawachara National Park, Madhabpur Lake, tea plantations etc. The tour was very enjoyable and the guide was good. Pick-up was also punctual. They also help us to book our train tickets to/fro Dhaka and Sreemangal.

        Simply Amazing! Highly Recommended!
        From the first email with owner Razbe I knew they would be the perfect tour company! My guide Suleman was absolutely fantastic, it was like travelling with a long lost friend and was great fun exploring Sreemangal tea plantations! Razbe helped arrange a last minute long distance taxi when I fell ill, absolutely great service! They truly go above and beyond!

      I came to Bengaldesh one year ago with a friend to work in a local association called CDD (centre for development in disability) near to Dhaka. We travelled to Srimangal one week to visit Tea Garden. We met Razbe, an amazing guide. He bring us to the jungle for one day! We saw gibbon, lots of beautiful plants! We take part to the most important hindi festival in a small village, staying all night long, listening local songs and seeing child dancing for Krishna! Travelling to Bengladesh is really an awesome experience! Bengladeshi people were amazing with us! There were so nice! It's one of the most wonderful travel a made... Hope I will come back in the future to visit the friends I met there! Thanks Razbe for sharing your beautiful country!

      I was in Bangladesh in 2011, working mostly in Dhaka. I decided to take a weekend getaway in the town of Sreemangal in Sylhet. I asked for a tour and I was connected to Eusuf Ali, an absolutely helpful and wonderful tour guide and companion. Eusuf went out of his way to showed me around the nature reserves, tea plantations, the town and local villages. I only wish that I could stay longer, but I had to be back at work on Saturday.

      It was a rainy day in Dhaka. I had limited time to book a tour online. So, I asked many tour operators to organize a tour for us. Many of them told me to book in advance. I could not do for some reasons. Suddenly I found this company in trip advisor. I requested for a tour. Razbe of this company answered me quickly that he could arrange the tour. I did not book in advance. We made a schedule to start the tour next day. He came to my hotel. Although it was heavy raining. We hoped the great. Through raining and traffic jam we moved to places. Razbe showed me places one after another. He managed the time well. With what he said I understood he is a trained up on tourism service. Everything he did in a disciplinary. Very friendly people in Bangladesh also welcomed us. Thanks to this tour operator and Bangladeshis.

      I have recently returned from a very enjoyable Sunderbans Tour. The food was good. It was a boat trip to remember.

      A special thanks to my guide Eusuf without whom the trip would not be quite so memorable. He assisted in all aspects of the trip including getting to Dhaka and moving on from Khulna. He even helped me get some medicine. His knowledge and helpfulness was indispensable. He will certainly be the first person I contact on any future trip to Bangladesh.

      Highly recommended.

      I visited Dhaka from 18 to 21 March 2019, in weather that was not too hot nor too humid. Construction of a rail public transport system, and students' protests, made traffic more noisy and chaotic than usual. But Razbe, my very experienced and knowledgeable guide, and the drivers he hired, nevertheless managed to get me to visit some of the most interesting sites in the capital city (Sadarghat, Ahsan Manzil Museum, Curzon Hall, Lalbagh Fort, Shaheed Minar) and around (Folk Art & Craft Sonargaon Museum, Panam City), experiences not to be missed, but which might be overwhelming for most visitors without a guide. I highly recommend Razbe's company, Orient Tourism Channel, when planning custom made visiting tours of Bangladesh. He was always punctual, efficient (Also with emails), and receptive to suggestions. I stayed at the InterContinental Hotel (Former Sheraton), which I also highly recommend, for the very friendly and helpful staff, quiet rooms, and sumptuous Western food buffet.

      My tour was excellent in Dhaka. I surprised to see busy city Dhaka. Actually Orient Tourism Channel arranged a day for me according to my requirement. This company is really helpful as customize-able tour and for my invitation letter I got from. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. But in Dhaka it is too much traffic jam which often wastes time in visiting to places. Anyway people are also friendly. Awesome country. Enjoy...
