The one day tour covers top 5 key highlights, and the second day divulges deep down in Jane Drew & Maxwell Fry's vision with rarely seen creations. I've been a journalist for 11 years and am a 3rd generation citizen of the city. I spent 24 years of my life living in Corbus’s public social housing, studied in Pierre’s designed schools & went to Maxwell Fry’s designed offices – so I live, breathe, and exist as Chandigarh. I started these tours via combining my research & journalism skills in learning architecture with hilariously entertaining storytelling to curate these unique small group tours
