My dad and I had a wonderful tour experience with Carla. She has so much passion for the history and architecture of Leesburg and pointed out so many amazing details that I'd never heard before. It was a great tour, even on a rainy cold March day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, visitors or VA residents, who would like to learn more about the interesting history of Leesburg!

Thank you for your review, Andria. It was a pleasure showing you and your father the historic gems of Leesburg. There is so much to see and learn, even for those who live locally, as you point out. Come visit Leesburg again soon!

Carla was wonderful with my mom. It was cold, but she took her time to walk my 80 year old mom’s pace and give our family a wonderful depth of history. I had no idea Leesburg was steeped in so much history. If you are looking for an educational family event, I highly recommend Carla’s tour:)
