My name is Towfiqul Ahmed Titu (known to travelers worldwide as GuideTitu), founder and lead guide of Bangladesh Emerald Tours (established in 2008).I specialize in community-based eco-tourism, rural river expeditions, and immersive cultural journeys across the vast waterway network of Bangladesh.

As a veteran river guide and local tour operator, I run authentic multi-day boat trips along the mighty Brahmaputra (Jamuna), Padma, Meghna, Kirtonkhola, and the peaceful backwater canals of Barishal.My tours are designed for travelers who want to experience true Bangladeshi river life as it has existed for centuries—staying on a traditional, hand-built wooden houseboat, meeting island-dwelling farming communities, and exploring remote villages far off the standard tourist trail.

Whether navigating North-to-South riverways, visiting the Barishal Floating Market at dawn, or curating custom field expeditions for photographers, researchers, and culture seekers, my mission is to connect travelers directly with local people, heritage, and nature in a responsible, eco-friendly way.
