We really enjoyed Carla’s walking tour of Leesburg. It’s amazing how many historic events (Revolutionary War, Civil War) took place in the few blocks we walked. Also really enjoyed the architectural information. It’s lovely that so many old historic buildings are very well cared for and restored. You’ll see many cute restaurants and bars on the tour- we enjoyed lunch at Shoe’s Cup & Cork afterward. The pace is an easy walk and the duration was exactly as stated, an hour and 20 mins. Easy to fit in to our schedule on a weekend visit. Thank you, Carla!

We were strolling around the historic streets of Leesburg and came upon a person giving a guided walking tour to a young couple. What I overheard the tour guide saying about some of the historic buildings was very interesting. We plan to sign up for this guided tour in the next couple of months !
