Astonishing❤️❤️

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give. City Tales is like stepping into a time machine every Sunday with Rameen Khan, aka heritagewala, as our guide through... read more Delhi's hidden gems. Trust me, you won't find a better way to spend your Sunday mornings! Rameen's love for history is contagious. He's not just a storyteller; he's a magician who brings the past to life with his tales. And the best part? He's totally unbiased and sets the record straight between fact and fiction. His energy is so infectious, and his storytelling skills are off the charts. Seriously, you'll find yourself hanging onto his every word, completely mesmerized by his passion for the city's monuments. What I love most is that City Tales doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. It's affordable for everyone, and trust me, you'll feel like you got more than your money's worth by the end of it, "Full Paisa Wasool"!! And it's not just me who's hooked. I've seen students and UPSC aspirants taking notes like it's a live class! It's the perfect blend of fun and education. Lastly, Citytales has a wonderful surprise bonus for the walkers after every walk. I've been on these walks for more than a year now, and honestly, I plan my weekends around Rameen's schedule. That's how much I love it! I call him the Best Raconteur of the town. Big shoutout to Rameen for making history cool again. Keep doing what you're doing, City Tales! Love Soumya

An amazing storyteller who does his homework and portrays the history in such a lucid way that it enchants you. The energy is infectious. Once you attend his walk, you... read more are most likely to be a part of this family. Be it Historically curated local Walks, Baithakas and Outstation Trips, You are going to have fun filled time. If you are into history or just another common person who loves a bit of history, they are going to make it memorable. I have been part of many local tours as well as few outstation trips. The itinerary is well researched and chronologically curated. In outstation trips they take care that you enjoy the local food and delicacies to make you aware of the cuisine that evolved with the history. I appreciate this guy and his hard work to make ‘visualising history’ simple and interesting at the same time. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Delhi has so much to see and so much to explore that you cannot get enough of this place at all. Being a student in Delhi, I came to know... read more about Citytales through a family member. They had just done their first walk with Rameen and were in awe of his personality and the immense knowledge he holds. I was eager to join the walk and despite having my exam the next day, I took a risk. I went on that walk and I'm so glad that I did. Even since that day, Sundays have not been the same and they're incomplete without Citytales now. Having information about a certain topic is something and being able to translate that into a story is another. Rameen holds the ability to gauge the audience and not leave them bored for even a few seconds. You go for a walk and you realise that there's so much more to history than just what you see and hear.If you seriously want to understand the intricacies of monuments, historical events, and rulers, Rameen and Citytales should be your go to....

My passion for heritage runs deep, intricately woven into the fabric of my being. It's a love affair with the past, a yearning to unravel the mysteries and stories that... read more have shaped our world. CityTales has been a beacon of light on my journey of historical exploration, guiding me through the labyrinth of time with expertise and enthusiasm. With each expedition, they've ignited a fire within me, fueling my curiosity and deepening my appreciation for the rich tapestry of our shared heritage. I'm immensely grateful to Rameen for his dedication to preserving and sharing our history. Here's to many more adventures together, as we continue to unearth the treasures of our past.

I now know why my friend raves about Rameen's tours so much, and why 100+ people turn up on his Sunday walks. I was totally unprepared for the sheer amount... read more of fantastic storytelling that Rameen regaled us with throughout our 3-day jaunt through Lucknow. Add to it some of the best street food and kababs I've ever eaten, and the fortune of good weather. Definitely one of the most fun trips I've even been on. Kudos to Rameen, and I'm definitely signing up for more!

My name is Shorya Sood.I a person with disability and on wheelchair. I have found Mr Rameen Khan very sensitive towards persons with disability. Its really awesome experience to attend... read more the walks of Khoj city Tales founded by Mr Rameen Khan. He is a amazing story teller and has a great sense of humour. Mr Rameen Khan informes me about the accessibility of the venus before attending the walks. He tries to ensure that I don't miss any part of the walks due to accessibility related problems. I like his inclusive and sensitive attitude towards persons with disabilities. I find that Mr Rameen Khan tried to always find means to ensure that I understand the portions of the walk if I am not able to go to a place due to accessibility related issues. For instance, he makes sure that someone records the portions of the walk which are not wheelchair accessible on mobile phone. I look forward to attending many more walks of Khoj city Tales. Its a great initiative by Mr Rameen Khan. My best wishes to Khoj city Tales. May it continue to scale new heights and achieve lots of success.

Rameen is an excellent storyteller. I have only been to six of his walks so far but each of them has been a fantastic experience. As the walk progresses... read more Rameen carefully peels back the layers to reveal the human stories behind our history. Highly recommended

Words fall short for Rameen and his curated storytelling. My first ever heritage walk is with Rameen and till now I have completed about 15 weekend heritage walks and went... read more for 3 heritage tours and booked an upcoming one 🙌 City tales help me to get a wholesome experience of history, historical sites and its architecture. Through this journey, I have met some amazing people who are enthusiastic about history as i am, now it feels like a wonderful family growing day by day🌼

Taking a historical walk with City Tales has always been an enriching experience! The knowledgeable guide, Rameen, brought the city's history to life with engaging stories and insights. From hidden... read more gems to iconic landmarks, every step revealed something fascinating. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors looking to uncover the rich tapestry of our city's past.

I have been following City Tales, which I consider a treasure trove of history, on Instagram for several years now. So, I was really excited to know in 2022 that... read more its founder, Rameen Khan, has started to conduct heritage walks too. My first walk with him was at Qudsia Bagh and I was blown away by his thorough knowledge and unbridled passion for history. I later also attended the Kashmir trip with my mom and what power-packed those 5 days were! We visited places that we could only dream of, many spots that we had not even heard of. Most importantly, my mother found her tribe of people just as passionate for history as she is. I also attended the day trip in Deeg, and just could not get enough. Rameen's knowledge of history is impressive and he conveys it in such an interesting manner that one is left asking for more every time. Looking forward to many more adventures with City Tales.

Being with @khoj in all the out station walks , now local history of places connects to a bigger grander nation's history which seems irresistable to break or... read more miss.Travelling with Rameen through kashmir, Indore , Mandu, Jaipur, Ajmer, Agra, Aurangabad and will be joining him to Hampi and Fatehpur Sikri as well appears to me as if I am revising my school syllabus practically. He is my best teacher till date where I am on time everyday be it most early mornings rising and getting ready .I suggest that schools and parents should appoint Rameen to give the real essence of history to students which otherwise is not that enjoyable a subject as it was never for me until I met Rameen. Aurangabad's extensive history is mindblowing from Hinduism, Budhhism , Jainism , Rajputs, African slave , mughals , the rise and fall of these dynasties narrated by Rameen in precise brief time lapse manner could make it so easy for non historians too to understand clearly . Great people from different age group all become friends on a common platform of khoj where age is not a barrier for any . I wish @Khoj family to grow bigger and thicker every single moment.

What an amazing community City Tales has built over the years! Binding nuances of Indian history into a storytelling format to make it more relatable for the masses and packaging... read more it in the form of heritage walks and tours, this is a must-have experience for anyone even minutely interested in history and built heritage. And the purview doesn’t culminate itself within the boundaries of Delhi; it encompasses various aspects of Indian history, which goes far beyond the limits of Delhi. The cherry on top is the monthly tours, where the participants get to see the world through the lens of Rameen and his marvellous storytelling ability. Having been a part of multiple tours and walks, I can totally vouch for the quality experience that you will have with City Tales.

Through his brilliant storytelling and impeccable research, Rameen has the unique ability to make you fall in love with Delhi and history (all over again for me). I have been... read more part of several of his very well curated walks and baithaks in Delhi and a one day trip to Deeg. Rameen has a unique ability to turn history into a beautiful community building experience. He knows how to skillfully break down the complex historical details into the most captivating tales that can be understood by all and takes great pain to filter out myths from facts. What sets him apart is his dedication and sincerity towards his craft and a bond that he shares with the community that he has built from scratch. Can't recommend enough.

I was recommended to be part of City Tales by a relative and since my first walk in September 2023 - I have got addicted to City Tales. I have... read more attended 10 + walks and tours and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience So many things that make my experience stand out. The sheer brilliance of Rameen's storytelling, the joy of uncovering the hidden monuments of Delhi & India and listening to their forgotten stories. The icing on the cake has been meeting & knowing some great people. Always looking forward to the next walk & tour!

Rameen is a one of a kind storyteller. His heritage walks are extremely insightful and engaging, and offers a unique perspective on history and heritage. Apart from the frequent Sunday... read more morning walks, I’ve had an opportunity to visit Agra on a 2 day trip with the City Tales team. It was an incredible and enriching experience. You’re definitely missing out if you’re not exploring Delhi through his stories!

1) Mission Mandu & Indore - August 2023 2) Heaven's along the Yamuna (Agra) - November 2023 3) The Hampi Tour (Vijayanagara) - January 2024 4) Karwan-e-Awadh... read more (Lucknow) - March 2024 ...and the journey continues. The Historical 'affair' that started with City Tales in 2023 continued this year also with my recent tour of Lucknow. The City of 'Nawabs' is Rich - Historically, Culturally & Culinary wise. The tour itinerary was so well devised to cover all aspects of it. And so, while traversing the bylanes of the City you find yourself standing in front of a monument, deeply immersed in an historical anecdote and made equally interesting by the exceptional oratory skills of Rameen. In another moment you are savouring a street delicacy. While doing so Rameen manages to make sure that you have best of both the worlds. No matter what kind of traveller (not tourist) you are - a Novice, an Amateur (like me!) or a well read Intellectual - be ready for a long day. When you retreat back to your hotel you feel rejoiced with new discoveries, experiences and find youself enriched with new perspectives. See you again City Tales !

Tours in City Tales curated by Rameen need to be experienced. After going on any tour with him you are sure to get sucked into the history of the times... read more that he walks you through. The experience is so beautiful and engrossing that one waits for his next walk. I see his followers increasing alongwith a big number who go to all his walk diligently. It is a lovely mix of young and old who get seeped into the stories of monumental figures which are ageless. His story telling will make you an addict and you will wait through the week for his next walk through a different century.

Rameen is an exceptional storyteller and curator. I've attended several of his walks in Delhi and travelled with him on four of his heritage tours and I'm always left wanting... read more for more. You're bound to fall in love with India's history all over again when you travel with Rameen on any of his explorations. I've largely been weary of group tours, but City Tales' tours are like none other. After over a year of being a part of City Tales' community, it's hard to pick a favorite walk or tour because each one is special in it's own way. I'm already looking forward to my next trip with him and I urge anyone young and old alike who are interested in the rich history and heritage of India (and soon beyond India too!) to go travel with City Tales and see our history brought to life through his incredibly well researched stories. You will thank me later.

Fell in love with Rameen’s story telling and his amazing tribe !

Rameen is like a blessing in disguise for all the history enthusiasts 🤗😌. I have been to his walks frequently and met lot of people who are so... read more kind and full of positive energy. Through his walks I explored those places and side of Delhi which once I didn't know about so it's worth the time 💯🤗

Chancing upon an article in a newspaper last year, my interest in history (and architecture) was rekindled and I endeavoured to not just restrict myself to reading but instead... read more make an effort to actually explore these places. However, merely visiting a heritage site did not satiate my appetite. I was looking to attend heritage walks for a better experience and I found Rameen from Khoj- City Tales to be the perfect person. Attending Rameen's walk not only satiated my thirst for knowledge but also have had the opportunity to meet people having similar interest and passion for history, architecture (and flora as well with a couple of people). Rameen is an incredible storyteller whose baithaks/walks are peppered with humour and I always listen to him with rapt attention and have made a habit to go back home and read books related to the history discussed that day. Other side effect of attending Rameen's storytelling has been that I now look forward to waking up early on a Sunday and travel anywhere. I have not been able to attend any of Rameen's outstation walks and this year I intend to check that off my checklist.

Rameen bhai's storytelling prowess is truly captivating; his narratives have the power to transport listeners to the scenes he describes, allowing them to experience history firsthand.

I love Rameen for his thoroughness of research, attention to detail in storytelling that keeps his 70-80+ attendees hooked. He also handles queries patiently inspite of some being quite basic... read more to just self fulfilling comments of participants.While I love history and read a lot myself, he makes it easy for people across agre groups of 17-70 come and just enjoy some powerful renditions about people, times and places. Wish him all the best for many more across India
