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

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. Highly recommend it to anyone who has even the slightest of interest in history, architecture and community.

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!

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 !

Rameen Khan is synonymous with rediscovery and reawakening of Monuments and Marvels of History. The Monuments, The Place, Those times speak to you through Rameen Only a work done... read more with so much passion, honesty and humility could turn out to be impactful, impressive and innovative. Every walk, every story, every tour is a genius piece of art. Rameen puts all effort and energy to bring out the past alive for you! City Tales born to be unmatchable, unbeatable and unstoppable!

I have had the good fortune of being a part of city tales walks from its initial days..it was a foggy winter morning in early January 2023 when i first... read more attended Rameen Bhai's walk and have been a fan since. Rameen Bhai is what you get when you combine a A+ historian with a A+ story teller and all of his events , whether walks or baithaks, do bring that out. Not only his content is excellent, he also brings out his unique storytelling style to make it so much more interesting for the audience. His hardwork and dedication reflect in his events which are a treat to behold for every member of the audience. I can't recommend City Tales and Rameen Bhai enough to anyone looking to understand Indian and especially Delhi's history and wish Rameen Bhai all the very best

Strongly recommended. Detailed review: Walks/tours by a lot of guides typically comprise of a ‘tourist-tailored’ checklist which involves visiting the mainstream monuments (sometimes in a rushed manner) and... read more superficially covering only the main points in the guided narration while sticking to a standard template of facts. This is where City Tales by Rameen Khan is different. - To begin with, his tours are more of an exploration and a masterclass in storytelling. Delhi, as a historic city spanning centuries, holds enough tales with many layers that would appeal to patrons of art, architecture, history and culture. The tours are organized keeping this fact in mind with the right mix of breadth and depth. As a native resident who was fed up with the lack of genuine heritage walks, Rameen’s initiative has been like a breath of fresh air. - His style of storytelling is immersive and accessible which also draws in folks with not much of a background in history. His unique ability to weave together a compelling narrative while connecting the dots across different eras ends up painting a more holistic picture of the city’s heritage and makes one more appreciative of it. - As an example consider his tours to Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. Rameen carefully selects the monuments to be visited - including both the mainstream and the somewhat obscure sites around them. These visits are further complemented by his narration where he touches upon the stories of famous and lesser-known but important characters, the far-reaching influence of certain events across centuries and the domino effect they had on the history of India, and how the region itself evolved. Having attended many of his weekly walks and tours, it is a testament to Rameen’s incredible storytelling skills that he can keep almost 60-80 people fully engaged over the course of 2-3 hours without a hint of boredom. Of course, behind all this is a lot of painstaking research with Rameen taking utmost care to ensure historical accuracy and separating facts from myths. He is extremely passionate about history and heritage and that is evident from the quality of his tours.

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.

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!

One of the best story tellers in town, Rameen will make your sunday worth the early wake up🌼

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.

His story telling will make you an addict and you will wait through the week for his next walk through a different century.

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 come across many interesting historical facts during these walks. Much recommend for everyone. Best Wishes for Rameen & the entire team of City Tales for their future endeavours.

Very interesting and informative walks. If you're a history buff, then do attend the walks, you won't regret it.

It has always been a tussle between the morning sleep on sundays & CityTales heritage walk, but the latter won't let you regret ever. A pseudo Dehlvi like me has... read more always wondered about the rich history of Delhi & finally when the 'Khoj' started, from the very the first walk of CityTales, Delhi has become more closure to my heart. All thanks to Rameen's profound knowledge in history & his amazing storytelling. If connecting the dots between dynasties & ages through storytelling on the exact locations which have witnessed it happening is an art, then Rameen is surely the savvy proponent. So, (if you are not already) be a part of the CityTales 'tribe' of the like-minded people whom you'll meet during 'Khoj', the 'Baithaks' & the expeditions to different parts of India & the Globe.

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.

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 💯🤗

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 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! ❤️

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 highly recommend City Tales to anyone who wishes to explore the wonderful heritage of Delhi and take back lovely memories.

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.
