Edith_B, Sep 2026
Best Tour of D.C. / highly recommended!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area, history to current. The bus was very comfortable, not crowded. I’ve been to D.C. before and learned so much on this tour that I didn’t know prior to the tour. I highly recommend this tour! This is the only tour that we are considering going on again next time we are in D.C.

"Kenny's Black History Tour Exceeds Expectations"
Kenny was very knowledgeable about the Black Experience and contributions in Washington, DC. He was very personable and courteous to tour attendees. Kenny went above and beyond by arranging a visit to the new African American Civil War Museum. Tying in a ticket to the NMAAHC was genius and an added bonus.

From Washington DC Mount Vernon and Alexandria Private Day Tour
Dennise_N, Jul 2026
Love the Customization
We had done a previous private day tour with Rami. I had looked at other tours but none would get us the day we wanted. So I booked this tour and was super excited Rami joined us again. He picked us up on time at our hotel, we told him what we wanted out of the day, he said the day was ours. We drove to Mount Vernon and he dropped us off. I had already reserved our Mansion Time the night before. I didn’t know how much time to allow but I did 1.75 hours from hotel pickup. That gave us plenty of time to get to Mount Vernon and sightsee the grounds before getting in line to do the tour, and then we finished the rest of what we wanted to see and went to gift shop where we called Rami when we were ready. He picked us up right up front and took us to Old Alexandria where my goal was a little sightseeing but mostly shopping. We had just enough time to hit what we wanted and then grab gelato/sorbet before we were picked back up to head back to hotel. This day could have been a little longer for me to do all the things but I appreciated the opportunity to do it. We enjoyed the day not having to worry about driving, parking, and not knowing where to go. We loved getting to know Rami more and hearing the history of the area. And appreciated him giving us suggestions but letting the day completely being our own. Thanks again!

Fun and educational tour of Washington DC
We took our family vacation this year to Washington DC to celebrate our nation's 250th. Ayana, our guide, was excellent! We had our adult children as well as our grandchildren there for the tour. Ayana was interactive and fun during the tour. We all enjoyed it and learned a lot about our nation's history. Highly recommend Untold DC Tours & Tales.
