Elaine has a thorough knowledge not only of the homes, schools, library, churches from before the American Revolution, through the Civil War to the present, she can also tell you about the people who were at the center of history being made. Kathy welcomed us at the visitor center and we shared a perfect lunch at Miller's Bistro on the square. We enjoyed a concert at the Episcopal Church and meeting several people that live in Washington GA. Our tour made me feel I can return and entertain family and friends. Thank you Elaine!

Washington is a beautiful town but without Elaine and Miss Fanny's tours we would have missed so much! She shared the towns history and stories of the residents as well as insider tips about hidden gems such as gorgeous stained glassed windows in a local church and the public library. We met local residents and were even invited to tour the inside of a home! You do not want to visit Washington without booking a tour with funny, charming, and entertaining Elaine AKA "Miss Fanny"!

As a new resident to Washington, everyone should take this tour with Elaine! We learned so much about our new hometown and it was a lively and entertaining tour. We took some out-of-town guests with us and will be sure to have a Miss Fanny Tour every time we have company. Elaine was wonderful, informative, and so much fun.

On April 19, 2018 a group of 27 Senior Adults from Kiokee Baptist Church went to Washington, Georgia and were truly blessed to have Elaine Filipiak as our tour guide. She was such an excellent guide and incredibly knowledgeable about the area and history. One of our many stops was to visit with a local antebellum homeowner. They made us feel so welcome as they took our group on a tour of one of their three homes. Although I’ve lived in this area for many years I had not visited Washington and was amazed to learn about its history. I highly encourage people to visit this beautiful town but be sure and contact Elaine and schedule a tour with her. It will be a day you won’t forget and will recommend to your friends!

On Tuesday April 10 2018 myself and a group of 14 people from Wesley Way UMC from McDonough, Georgia took this tour and it was excellent. Everyone enjoyed it bunches and bunches. Our tour guide Elaine did an excellent job in telling us about the history of each site and the town. We visited the Fitzpatrick Hotel, First Methodist Church, the Mary Willis Library, the Callaway Plantation and a driving tour of the beautiful homes in the area. Elaine and others told us about the history of each and did an excellent job. We ate at a wonderful cafe on the square which the food and service was excellent. I highly recommend this tour. There is alot of history and beauty in this lovely town of Washington and it was great to have Elaine and others showing us their hospitality. Thank you Elaine and everyone else we came in contact with.

My Husband and I took a weekend trip to explore Washington and learn about the History of this great little town. We had such a great time with Elaine ! She took us around and showed us all the things we would've missed, had we not taken her tour. This tour is more than just driving around in a car looking out the window. We actually got to get out of the car and EXPLORE the town in a way that would not have been possible without her and her knowledge. THANKS ELAINE ! We look forward to returning !

I came on St. Patrick's Day with friends from Toccoa, GA. I love histrory and the day was spent learning more history about Washington as it was associated with both the American Revolution and the Civil War. I had no iudea the area was so rich in history. Elaine brought history to life. It was not only educational, but enjoyable to be on the tour. Washington is a city that loves the past, and is interested in preserving it for future generations. Thank God Sherman never visites Washington.

This is the way to take a tour. Not like those complicated ones that you get in those really touristy places. We met Ms Jo at the welcome center (lady there was really nice too). We spent a few minutes with Jo giving us some general history of Washington and the area. We then left to comfortably tour the area. We toured so many antebellum and Victorian houses and buildings, along with excellent history. Made several stops, to go inside, including the oldest free library in Georgia and a beautifully restored antebellum home whose owners were so nice and toured us and told us how they had restored it. My wife and I really enjoyed this and plan to return. Ms Jo was wonderful and the tour was so casual and not rushed. In addition, there are some wonderful restaurants and shops on the square. We love this area. You can't miss with this.

This is a lengthy review, but there's certainly reason why. My wife and I are native Californian's with family in the South. We've have this incredible pipe-dream to move south and purchase an aging Civil War Antebellum, not for the purpose of a money-making scheme, but as a way to preserve a piece of Americana. Although leaving Southern California weather for anywhere else seems crazy, living near America's sixth largest city puts our pipe-dream in perspective based on high cost of living, crime, traffic, and lots of unfriendly people here at home. Our trip took us through Tennessee and Georgia where we had opportunity to sample small town living and its gracious hospitality. We booked a tour with Elaine to see Washington. Elaine arrived full of excitement and started with a brief introduction as we walked its town square, into the Chamber of Commerce, and the St. Patrick hotel like dignitaries from afar. About ten-minutes into our tour, we explained our interests in Civil War Antebellum properties, Elaine changed hats to become more of a real estate agent than tour guide. We hopped into Elaine's van and off we went through Washington looking at more a countless number of homes. She even called some of the local town's folk where we were invited into their antique homes. Because we were on a mission to see Civil War houses, we came prepared with a handful of Internet listings of houses that were for sale. Elaine eagerly looked at the list and was familiar with all of the houses we presented. Without hesitation, we were on w whirlwind tour of specialty properties while she filled us in on Washington’s history, facts, and other bits of chatter. We landed at one 5,000 square foot Greek Revival in particular that might possibly soon be for sale … and, boy did our eyes light up and hearts start to bound. Because Elaine knew the contractor working on the home, we were able to walk in and see the home in all its splendid grandeur; that would never happen in San Diego without having a real estate agent. And, at one point, Elaine arranged an impromptu side-track where we went to another grand Greek Revival and were invited to sit on a porch swing suspended 20-feet from the home's tall ceilings and supported by six massive columns … I’ve even got a one-minute video of that moment … think about it. Because we stayed in Washington for two nights, Elaine gave recommendations to eat at local restaurants and meet the town's folk. All in all, taking Miss Fanny’s Tour was one of the most wonderful travel experiences of our lives. Elaine was a most gracious host. We send this message to you all if you're considering visiting the deep South and sampling what it offers. Elaine tailored our tour to meet our desires; it wasn’t a boring production effort, more so, her intimate knowledge of local lore, Civil War history, and the town of Washington really tied us to what it would be like to live there. Elaine is clearly excited and proud of her little town. Thank you Elaine for taking the time to introduce us to Washington. Our time was well spent. Seeing Washington's sights and flavor really gave us a great perspective as to what it would be like to live in the South. Elaine’s tour was something right out of Southern Living Magazine. It was a great opportunity for us to envision what it would be like to become keepers of a magnificent piece of American history. Bottom-line: To all reviewers, you won't go wrong by taking Miss Fanny's Tours. Our tour was far beyond that of going to Disneyland, Sea World and Legoland. We assure you that, Elaine would be one of the top reasons we would relocate to Washington. We highly and enthusiastically recommend Miss Fanny’s Tour, suggesting you stay in Washington at least two nights. If you’re a Civil War buff, there’s too much to see and do. Elaine provides you with a taste of the town that gives you a heart full of anticipation to experience Washington … not merely see Washington. What a difference!

My husband and I booked a tour with Elaine in July, 2013. She gave us a wonderful trip into Washington history. Washington is a delightful antebellum town near Atlanta which thankfully escaped Sherman's wrath. Several years ago, we had taken a free self-guided tour of Washington, but as Elaine knows the area and local people personally, she is able to gain access to local homes filled with period furnishings that you are unable to see on your own. One of the homes we toured had been recently lovingly restored to its former glory and the very gracious homeowners helped to guide us through. Elaine is a delight...and so knowlegeable about the area. Don't miss her tour!

Our tour with Miss Jo was definitely the high point of our Washington area get-away. For me, it was because it provided that vital touch of real connection with real people so often missing in what goes by the name of 'tourism'. I hope Miss Jo feels as we do that we met strangers and parted as good acquaintances. For that alone, it was worthwhile, much less the scenes and stories of the historic buildings of Washington. It made our 39th anniversary especially memorable. You all have a precious treasure in Washington and I don't mean the history and the buildings, though they are also precious in their own right. I mean the social fabric of the connections between you all that make up 'community'. Everyone should be blessed to feel it and know it in relation to a place where they belong. Thank you and I hope you can pass this on to Miss Jo. Ron & Sharon Stephens

WOW! I recently traveled with my wife and her parents to Washington, GA to visit my sister for her daughter’s first birthday. Before the party it was suggested that we take a Miss Fanny's tour and see the historic homes that Washington, GA is known for. We are so glad we did! Elaine, our tour guide, seemed to know everyone and everything about the city and literally had the keys to city. She took us into private homes and businesses that an outsider would never get the chance to see if they were simply driving around. Now, living in Charleston, SC we are historic home snobs and we were still impressed by not only the quantity but the quality of the antebellum and Victorian homes on the tour! I’d highly recommend this to anyone visiting Washington, GA – it’s even worth the drive from Augusta, Atlanta or even Charleston, SC!!!

It was a true pleasure to meet them and we really enjoyed their tour as well. All of these components made this trip really nice.

What a pleasant surprise when we decided to take a short trip to Washington, GA with my husband's brother and sister-in-law,who were visiting from Olympia, WA and find that we could in fact even get a private tour by Elaine. She was so knowledgeable about the town and area and patiently waited while we toured the homes, hotel in town, library and even a few shops!

Elaine described Washington as kind of like Mayberry which is why Tom Chase who owns the Washington Plantation B&B along with his wife Barbara told me he hasn't locked his truck in 8 years. As a 4th generation Washingtonian Elaine knows everyone in town and all their stories and those of their families many of whom have been there since the area was settled. Earlier in the week I'd been in Richmond for the Civil War Trust's annual dinner and decided to visit Washington where Jeff Davis held his last cabinet meeting and the Southern treasury disappeared. Elaine was the perfect guide: knowledgable and fun to be with. It was Tom who gave me her number. I'd called the B&B from Augusta early one Sunday evening and told him I was heading to Washington and with true Southern hospitality he said they'd be waiting for me when I arrived. It's that kind of town and with Elaine as your guide you'll feel like one of the family.

Washington GA is a town deeply tangled in the alluring history of the 1800's. The Union and Confederate march towards a freedom each feel is worth fighting for. Ladies in distress and those cherished beyond all measure lived here. Grand and stately, eloquent and charming antebellum homes grace long deeply trodden roads...you can feel the history as Elaine brings it alive through spoken word. Her expertise in presentation, you find yourself leaning in to listen, so not to miss one single historical fact, a charming southern manner and a well noted comfort in her expansive ability to entertain and engage all who come with a curious mind..A Miss Fannie Tour must not be missed! You will not be disappointed!

After reading a review of Washington, Georgia in Southern Living, we made reservations and headed down for the weekend. Our tour with Elaine was the highlight of the trip. Washington is a wonderful, historic town and we felt that we had stepped back in time. We would have truly missed out had we not taken this tour. Not only is Elaine very knowledgeable about the town, but her love is apparent throughout the tour. We had a great group during the tour and it was so much fun to see them later, throughout the weekend. Not only where we able to see all of the public historical places, but we had a peak at some private homes also. Every meal that we had at a restaurant recommended was top notch. This get-away is a must and the tour is an absolute.

Last March we were stopped at the square in Washinton after being advised not to miss it by a guide in Athens. We had done a brief drivearound and were just finishing a snack in front of the closed Chanber of Commerce. Miss Fanny was sitting at a sidewalk table working on her laptop and approached us as to whether we needed any assistance. We were obviously from out of state, identified by our license plates. She opened the Chamber and gave us some information pamflets and we had a long conversation and discussion of relocation and retirement. She took us on a brief tour because we had hotel reservations in Augusta. It was a wonderful few hours and our great thanks are with her. Sincerely, Janet and Tim Taylor

We had a wonderful tour--it combined walking and riding and lots of interesting information. We rode by many interesting homes, we had a trip to the library, to a restored hotel, and through a private home. We never felt rushed. We were given tips on finding a place for lunch. Our tour guide called me shortly after I made reservations and informed me of a round table event and dinner. She picked us up from our B&B and drove us to the event and kept us company for the full evening. She seemed to know everyone in town. What wonderful hospitality.

Miss Fanny knows what she's talking about and she knows all the back roads. She will show you the elegance of this little town in a big way. We never realized there was so much history tucked away in such beautiful city.

Our tour with Elaine was both fun and filled with interesting facts about this very historical town. She has so much personality and passion for what she does that it rubs off on you. She is a jewel in the town and an ambassador for promoting it. You will find yourself loving Washington and hoping to return some day.

This November 23 ladies took a tour of Washington with Elaine Filipiak of Miss Fanny Tours. Her sense of humor, knowledge of the residents and the historic homes and buildings was outstanding! She kept us laughing and interested as we visited many of the antebellum places Washington holds. She also is networked with every vendor in the town and got us discount coupons to shop after the tour. What a find she is! We had a wonderful, and memorable day.

Miss Fanny's tour was the highlight of our trip to Georgia and South Carolina as far as my aunt and I were concerned. The people in Washington, Georgia are so warm and friendly. We toured Savannah and Charleston, and were on our way to Augusta and then Atlanta when we heard about Washington and decided to head that way. I will forever be grateful to the lady at the visitor center in Augusta who steered us in that direction. Elaine is so personable and knows the history of the area so well she made the tour one of the best I have ever taken. The homes, the people, the food---all outstanding!

My photos arrived today and I've just spent the last hour reliving three happy days in Washington, Georgia. These photos seem to upstage the ones from Savannah. The white columns catch the sunlight in Washington while the porches seem mysteriously dappled in shade in Savannah. There is something warm and familiar about Washington, being there was like coming home again with smiles shared all around. I really enjoyed the homes and landscapes you introduced me to and the stories that came with them. In this long journey to know my ancestors, I feel very fortunate to have walked where they lived and died. The letters they left behind came alive hearing the bird songs they once enjoyed from the porches where they once lived. Tours are very special when you have a guide who loves the architecture, history and people that surround them. Washington is filled with special memories in the making and you are the perfect person to make a stranger feel welcome. I hope you'll have the chance to introduce many more of us to your lovely antebellum town in the country. Washington might well be Georgia's best kept secret ;)

Our experience with Miss Fanny began when she acted as our Chauffeur and took us to Augusta to watch the Masters Golf. Collecting us at 8am, she was full of fascinating facts about the geography and people of Washington, Georgia and ran a commentary for the full journey. Later that day, our wives took the official tour of Washington and learned about some of the great characters that have graced the history of the area. This is real America and the warmth of the people of Georgia truely touched us. We were welcomed by everyone and they were all really interested in us and our background and in making sure that we enjoyed ourselves. The Jockey Club provided us with our entertainment with the food, wine and live music being excellent standard. The lady guest singer (Camella?) provided some of the best southern soul music I have ever heard live and her version of Georgia was truly special. A wonderful few days

We came to Washington to attend The Masters golf at Augusta and discovered the history and real Southern hospitality. Elaine transported us to and from the Masters and made sure that the girls, in our absence, were looked after. We stayed 3 nights and were disappointed to leave as we felt so much part of the community in such a short period of time. Elaine's tours were just so incredible and informative as well as being laced with great humor. A glass of wine in the "van" on the way back from The Masters was a real treat. The hospitality extended to us was fantastic and this was down to Elaine who made sure that we were introduced to everyone in the town and we were looked after so, so well. We have definitely added Washington to our "must go back to" list! Thank you so much Elaine for looking after us so well - it really helped make this leg of our trip so enjoyable. Hope to see you again and if you are ever in the UK, we would love to be able to reciprocate your hospitality so do call and see us. Graeme, Ann & Callum

A great experience!!! We were in Washington during Christmas, and Elaine gave us a “Tour-de-Washington” we will never forget. Not only did she bring us around the city; she also got us invited inside the maybe most fantastic antebellum, which were so beautiful decorated for Christmas. Elaine is a wonderful person, so warm and friendly that she even got us invited to a Christmas-party although we were complete strangers to everyone. We give our highest recommendation to Miss Fanny’s tours – don’t visit Washington or the neighborhood without taking one of Ms. Fanny’s guided tours. Elaine – a personal greeting from us: Thank you so much for making our Christmas away from home to an unforgettable experience, in a few days we will send you a personal mail with pictures. We hope to see you again one day. Warmest wishes from Denmark Marianne and Jan

WOW! Miss Fanny provided the girls reunion from Baker High School with a fun filled tour of Washington, GA. We felt priviledged to get a glimpse of a few of the beautiful antebellum homes along with lots of local history. Lunch at the Fitzpatrick Hotel was fabulous. Dinner at the Jockey Club was delicious. Shopping on the "Square" was delightful because all of the merchants were so friendly and had such great items in their shops. Thank you Miss Fanny!!!!!

Miss Fanny planned a weekend ‘slumber party’ for twelve ‘girls’ from the class of 1964 from Baker High School in Columbus, Ga. What a good time we had! Miss Fanny provided us with back to back entertainment that fulfilled and exceeded our every expectation. Her camaraderie with the local merchants provided us with the knowledge of what was available at each location so we were able to use our time wisely. Having four generations from Washington has provided “Miss Fanny” with such historical knowledge of all areas of interest, keeping the entire group asking for more. Each location, we visited, provided us with a foundation source of early community development. I would highly recommend “Miss Fanny Tours” be placed on your future activity list – each merchant, within Washington, GA bends over backwards to make it a memorable visit and they all made us feel like an active part of the community – not to mention the unique items we were able to purchase.

The Baker High girls were able to see the original Southern hospitality provided by Washington, Ga and their residents through Miss Fanny's tour. Everyone in the community from the housekeeping staff at the Southern Elegance to the shop keepers on the square had a smile and a kind word for each and everyone of us. A trip to Washington and a tour by Miss Fanny is well worth the effort.

I was born and raised in Georgia and thought I had seen most all it has to offer, but little did I know that I had missed one of the most interesting cities in the state. Washington is so rich with all of its history and beautiful antebellum homes. If you go, be sure to take Miss Fanny's tour. Without "Miss Fanny," I would have missed so much. Elaine,(Miss Fanny), is absolutely wonderful. She made me feel at home the moment we met. She is so knowledgeable and tells each story with passion and enthusiasm.

Living in a town close to Washington and passing throught the city all the time, we will now be on the lookout for the "citizens" we learned about last night!?!! "Miss Fanny" was a wonderful guide and had such interesting tales for us. She kept us all eager to hear more. You know she is a good guide and story teller if she can keep the interest of "old parents" AND 2 teenagers!!! I plan to come for another "normal" tour soon and have lunch in one of the homes. I feel like I have made a new friend in "Miss Fanny"; she is the epitome of a southern lady and southern hospitality!
