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!

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!

City Tales’ Rameen Khan is a peerless history tour operator in Delhi, if not in India. His storytelling is devoid of frills and sensationalism yet gives learners a nuanced understanding... read more of our history and heritage. If you are visiting Delhi on a weekend, this should be on your bucket list. My husband and I have been a part of this robust community for more than a year, and weekend walks became an essential part of our life while we lived in Delhi. Having also joined their tour to Jaipur, I can vouch for Rameen bhai’s organising skills. You cannot ask for more value for money from a group trip! I would highly recommend you join any walk, tour, or ‘bhaithak’ with City Tales if you have the slightest of interest in our collective history as humans. You can also meet like-minded enthusiasts and make sincere connections as I have. But most importantly, you will get to hear a gifted teacher and an industrious student take you on an intellectual journey.

Tapan and I are both in our 60s, born and brought up, and professionally engaged for 4 decades in Delhi. Post retirement we spontaneously chose to go for a walk... read more with Rameen. He escorted a large group through Chandni Chowk. His attention to minute historical details, a description of people who inhabited these places and, and a commentary on the cultural profile of an era long passed, regenerated a passion in us. We did 10 consecutive weeks with him, rediscovering various monuments in the NCR, surprised at how pathetic our knowledge had been. Rameen is a very talented storyteller, his love for history communicates itself to his listeners of varied age- groups. Strongly recommend that you go and experience it for yourself!

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

Rameen is an engaging storyteller who brings Delhi's rich history to life. Joining one of his City Tales walks is more than just sightseeing; it's like traveling back in time.... read more Before I experienced Rameen's walks, Delhi felt like a busy, crowded city. But after joining his walks, it transformed into a beautiful, intricate rug with many layers, each telling a story from the past.

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.

City Tales by Rameen offers something for every age group. Students can gain syllabus-related knowledge, while working professionals can recharge during weekend or long-holiday by taking a break from their... read more hectic schedules. Additionally, it provides opportunities to connect with like-minded history enthusiasts. I have attended around 15 walks and Baithaks in Delhi and one outstation tour in Lucknow. In this era of infodemic and social media, we often hold many prejudices. City Tales helps rescue us from these issues. The stories are so authentic and immersive that even people like me, who dislike reading books, can develop a good taste for history. One thing I like most about Rameen is that he doesn't shy away from entertaining curious doubts. He keeps the sessions energetic, making it clear that he is driven by passion rather than just fulfilling a duty. Another aspect I love about City Tales is the diversity of stories. Rameen conducts more than 50 different walks and continuously updates and renews them. He also holds specialized Baithaks, such as those on Mughal women and Awadh Nawabs. This constant change in flavor keeps the experience thrilling. I would advise to attend City Tales for multiple reason like: getting up early on a Sunday morning, enjoying the Delhi weather, Getting good Group Pic and doing a digital detox !

He also does a variety of baithaks - his stories range across India and are not limited to Delhi.

A year back I developed a passion for exploring history of cities and monuments.

From coordinating meeting points to seamlessly navigating through crowded streets, you ensured that the experience was smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved.

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 !

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....

I have been a member of the City Tales group since the time it was formed a year and a few months ago by Rameen Sir. It is always a... read more pleasure to attend the walks he hosts every other Sunday; the impactful storytelling and the choice of locations makes City Tales a treat for the eyes and the ears. It is a rare opportunity to gain knowledge about so many historical monuments and personalities which have been severely misconstrued or overlooked and Rameen sir makes sure all of us get the real and the better narrative. My words won't be enough until one comes and experiences the magic of his narration. Also the crowd these walks attract is simply surreal to interact with.
