Excellent Tour of Downtown - Kurt was an excellent guide for our walking tour of downtown Gettysburg. I have visited Gettysburg many times in my life but have never taken a downtown tour. If you’ve toured the battlefields, this is definitely worthwhile. Throughout the downtown area, Kurt told the stories of individual residents who stepped up with heroic actions as they were caught in the middle of this battle. This tour gave me a whole new perspective on the battle and those involved.
