I love City Tales walks! It's one of the few things that can get me out of bed on a Sunday morning! My weekends in Delhi used to be pretty... read more dull until I discovered city tales.. completely worth the morning journey from Gurgaon to Delhi, always! If only our history teachers were like Rameen... Alas! I chanced upon City Tales through an online article - and these walks have completely changed the way I view Delhi as a city as well! Rameen's Storytelling is something that has me spellbound almost all the time- because it makes you visualise! You stand in Red fort and hear him talk about Akbar Shah and the things that happened during his reign - and whoa, you immediately picture two horses standing right where you are, the King descending, a throng following him across the very path we walk together as a group... His storytelling is something that has to be experienced atleast once! Especially if you're in Delhi, do try one of his walks! ❤️

Writing this review after attending 14 walks and 2 tours, almost in a stretch. The best part of Rameen's walks is that you would come across the absolute authentic... read more information from the most authentic books of the field. His walks won't just be fun-tours; they are heritage walks in 'literal sense', so much so that it even adds into your core 'academic' understanding. From architectural elements of monuments, old paintings, maps to the in-depth stories, all are the part of the walks. Rameen is an exceptional story teller who puts his heart and soul in his work; he is simply in love with it. As a result he is able to convey the most complicated details in the most lucid and delightful manner. If you love the core history in its raw form and are looking for the nitty gritty details of it in the most simplistic, yet in its most charming form, Rameen's walks are strongly and highly recommended.

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

The walk at Sundar Nursery with Rameen surpassed my previous bland solo visit to Sunday Nursery. Rameen is evidently passionate about history and storytelling, and his 'qissa goi' about the... read more Mughals and the various fights for succession captivated everyone's mind, making it an enriching experience.

I have been following Citytales Instagram page from the early days of its inception. I didn’t knew who was behind all the history posts that time but I used to... read more share those with my friends. Later I came to know that Rameen was exploring all these places and soon he started conducting heritage walks in Delhi. The first walk I attended was “Feroz shah kotla walk” and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The style of Rameen’s storytelling is just exceptionally good. He comes with a pocket full of hefty notes and shares every single aspect of the time period we had been transported into. The stories of Rameen have it all-from brutal murder methods (or in Rameen’s words- “TIYYA-PAACHA”) to the Mughal delicacies and “MOHABBAT KI DUKAAT”. I highly recommend people who truly love Delhi and its fascinating and complex history to attend his walks.

The passion for uncovering these stories is evident and contagious, deepening my appreciation for the city with each excursion.

Their tours offer a unique and engaging way to explore the city's past, making history come alive in a truly memorable way.

I came across City Tales through someone's shared Instagram story, and I must say, that has changed how I view Delhi now. Going to places is one thing, and going... read more to places with City Tales is a whole level another. Never did I ever experience life in each of the monuments, and historical sites, but City Tales makes you look at the different lives of the place, and visualise what life looked through the standings of the place. Rameen's storytelling is unique, it has a start, an end, but always comes a full circle. And hence he makes the experience extraordinary, while sharing the sur-real history.

I’ve been attending walks led by Mr. Rameen Khan since May 2023 (whenever I get time off from college) and I’m not exaggerating when I say he’s absolutely the best.... read more From that first walk itself, it was evident that he’s an incredibly passionate storyteller with a deep connection to history and culture. His extensive knowledge, historical facts with even the most obscure details, his insights and ability to weave a narrative have literally brought each heritage site to life. Sir’s walks would effortlessly transport you back in time so you can live it. Moreover, it is also his sense of inclusivity and ability to cater to the diverse questions of the attendees, ensuring everyone feels enriched by the experience. Also, I’ve gotten to know about so many hidden gems through him like the shivalayas in the bylanes of Katra Neel or the Begumpur Mosque or Atgah Khan’s Tomb. Definitely go with Mr. Rameen Khan of City Tales, he’ll exceed your expectations and leave you with an enriching and unforgettable experience, I simply cannot recommend his walks enough!

I have attended several walks in Delhi and 4 heritage tours (more to come in future) with Rameen. He is an exceptional story teller who brings monuments and stories to... read more life. His passion for our heritage is contagious which (thankfully) reignite my interest in history after a long time. Apart of Rameen, City Tales also provides a great opportunity to meet a diverse and exceptionally knowledgeable group of fellow enthusiasts, which elevated the whole experience to another level.

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.

I'm from a science background and have always detested history for being too monotonous and memorisation oriented. When I was invited to one of the walks by a friend, I... read more was skeptical at first but then decided to give it a go. Needless to say, I was thrilled. Rameen is a very well read man who knows how to distill the history of a place and then present it to the audience in such a manner that is easy to grasp and enjoy. He rekindled my interest in history and you should definitely give him a chance. You will not regret it! 🙂

City tales is an experience that nobody should miss out on. You just need to attend one walk to realize what an amazing experience this is. My Sundays are incomplete... read more if I don't attend the heritage walks. It's been an year since I have been attending and I cannot recommend this more. I have brought multiple friends of mine who were not into history and eventually found themselves completely engrossed in all the stories. Apart from being an extraordinary storyteller, Rameen is also a very kind host who looks out for everyone. Do try it out if you want to meet a wonderful group of people and an exceptional storyteller who will make you fall in love with history and your city!

With all the hustle and bustle of this fast paced life, I had almost forgotten my love for stories and the way in which they connect us to our past.... read more Thanks to a friend, I was introduced to Rameen and his lovely family of Citytales a few months back. In every single walk, the common thing you'd notice is everyone would be leaving with a smile on their face. That's the magic of Rameen's words. I've fallen in love with the way in which he brings pieces of our history together into a beautiful story in the backdrop of some beautiful locations. I look forward to attending these simple yet magnificent walks for years to come.

I cant emphasise enough on how good of a storyteller Rameen is. He knows his way around words and can keep the audience with him for as long as 3-4... read more hours. Another brilliant thing about Rameen is that he goes beyond the usuals and tries to cover as many heritage sites as possible. I've been in Delhi all my life but didn't know that there existed so many places I had no clue of. Been a cheerleader of City Tales since day1, will forever be!

Rameen is an ace of a storyteller. What we have understood is that he keeps immersed in books all the time 😄, unless he is traveling to explore monuments and... read more ruins in some obscure hinterland, forgotten in time and once in glory. The best part of his storytelling are the multiple perspectives he offers to a particular event in history and the analysis he does of the important characters and their actions. While his narrative is free of frills, Rameen precisely knows how much to tell to a focused and interested audience, to the right level of detail, so as to not make a story boring or overwhelming with facts and figures. The storytelling style is addictive, with his passion oozing while the audience listens to him, captivated. The CityTales community has grown nicely over the last few years, over Insta and also in the walks and tours. The walks/baithaks with 80-90 heads get sold out in less than an hour, speaks about their popularity. All the best to the most exciting storyteller in Delhi.

I attended Rameen's first baithak because of a friend's recommendation and definitely don't regret that decision. Stayed and kept coming back for his amazing skills. All of his walks are... read more captivating - for the beauty of monuments they capture, for the storytelling in Urdu and English combined that is a feast for the senses and for the story he weaves and characters he brings to life.

Where do I begin. To say, that my experience with Rameen on his heritage walks was mind blowing is an understatement. He is an artistic genius and yes tour guiding... read more at-least the way Rameen does is it truly a work of art. His dedication to developing his stories and narratives is inspirational. His command over a group of often 80 plus participants is awe inspiring. If you are visiting Delhi or are a life long Delhi resident like me or you are new to the city please book one or all of his tours wether its the Sunday walks or weekend getaways or longer tours doesn't matter. Just embark on his enthralling journeys and you will come back with perhaps one the most unique experiences of your life. I am so grateful for the delightful entertainment and cannot wait to go on yet another “Rameen special” adventure very very soon.
