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.

Amazing experience!
Don’t miss the home of George and Martha Washington. So much great information to learn here. The walk to his tomb and the Potomac River were beautiful. Martha’s house garden was amazing! All the animals were just a reminder of how special the place really was to them.

Sherazade’s Washington Monuments in Meaning
monasL1547FW, Jun 2026
Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience on this tour and would highly recommend it to both visitors and locals. Sherazade is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Washington, DC. What stood out to me most was the depth of her research and her commitment to sharing a more complete and honest history rather than just standard textbook facts. I learned several fascinating details that I had never heard before, despite having visited DC multiple times. She was also amazing the kids, keeping them engaged by asking them thoughtful questions and welcoming their observations and endless questions with patience and enthusiasm. This was one of the most informative and engaging walking tours I've taken, and I came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city and its history. Thank you again, Sherazade!

Our driver, Ehab, was very courteous and dressed well. We were driven in a very comfortable Cadillac Escalade XL. The private guide was very knowledgeable. The only disappointing thing was Eisenhower’s place was closed due to the shutdown but that was not a fault of this tour.

Great FREE museum visit for singles and families
Each different gallery was a marvellous change. The Hope Diamond was amazing as were all the other jewels. I was able to watch the tarantula lunch time feeding session. Scary how quick it was getting a grasshopper! The resteraunt was great too with sustainability at the heat of the menu with quite diverse food offerings at a very good price. Go early as it sells out quickly.
