Asia Experiences for satisfying service
Our Bangladesh tour was short and sweet. A short break from the hectic work and a tour of Bangladesh was refreshing. We finalized our booking with Asia Experiences after several queries with other travel agencies. We loved their offer and best suited us. The capital of Dhaka and Sonargaon sightseeing was wonderful. In one word, thanks to Asia Experiences for satisfying service.Austin & Kylie

Smooth handling of the itinerary
With so many places to see and experience in these countries, I was in doubt that if the company could catch up to it. You know how people say 'leave it to the professionals' well they did it and in some fashion. We had plenty of time in every destination and we could even extend that over the itinerary time too. The guide was completely experienced and knew when it was time to push. Another thing I admired about Asia Experience and especially Mr. Umesh is that he checked and communicated with us and the guide all over the trip. The guides didn't hesitate to explain to me twice when it came to the safety and norms of some of the destinations. I will suggest this travel company if you want to experience the countries in their authentic form.Similar Trips
