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 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 have had the privilege of experiencing several baithaks and walks and one outstation tour with Rameen. He is a story-teller par excellence! Rameen’s ability to pepper his broad... read more canvas of knowledge of history by connecting the dots of his well-researched – seemingly disparate - characters and incidents into one wholesome fare is beyond comparison. What’s more, he makes them so relatable and tangible. It is like that bit of history happening right before you, right now – like a montage: so good is his communication and story-telling skill. No wonder his group of followers has grown exponentially in just over a year as he has infected everyone with his love and passion for history. Rameen is also a very considerate organizer. He keeps all participants informed of every step of a Sunday event. He also plans his outstation trips around and between public holidays to minimize working people having to take more leave. The trips are also very well-organised in a manner that it remains within reach of all history aficionados. I will always remain grateful to Rameen for sharpening my – thus far - peripheral interest in and knowledge of history. I look forward to learning much more from him and wish him endless success in the years to come.

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.

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.

City Tales is amazing. Rameen sir is amazing. I am very grateful to almighty that I came across them. Every Sunday mornings are full of amazing story telling sessions now.... read more It occurs like all the history is unfolding in front of your eyes. The best thing about our past is that it teaches u a lot about your present and future. As Marx rightly said, History repeats itself - first as a tragedy and second as a farce. For academic purpose also, these walks are very helpful as u will be able to relate with the subject much better then and will understand the nuances. They organises day tours also to various cities frequently. Do give it a try guys. you'll absolutely love it.😊

City tales for me is more of an emotion. I had started following the page much before the walks/baithaks were started by Rameen and I was fascinated by the way... read more City Tales depicted heritage by drawing a comparison of how it looked then versus now.

I have been part of Citytales for a year now. Rameen’s narration of history is impeccable. The character establishment & context setting makes it the easier for any newbie to... read more understand the story. The sprinkling of humour adds a dimension that makes it delightful to listen. I have also been part of tours where the engagement is for much longer duration. It’s an experience entirely different from walks as there is something more than history- great food. Add to this, one gets to meet some amazing people through the trips and walks. Kudos to Rameen for the awesome work he is doing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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.

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.

The heritage walks of City tales started serendipitously for me on a friend's recommendation. It soon became a weekly obsession, converting me into a big history buff . An... read more impartial, nuanced look into history is the hallmark of Rameen's talks. Each walk or 'Baithak' is deeply researched. For a brief moment in time, places, people and incidents come alive for all as we uncover times past. The "Tribe" as we regulars like to call ourselves is slowly increasing. A testament to the universal appeal of Rameen's story telling. Definitely recommend one to experience it once. I'm sure you'll be one of the tribe soon.

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!

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.

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 !

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
