Re: Gettysburg bus tour
There are so many other areas of the battlefield to tour, some less well known, some just as well known. Culp's Hill played a huge role in the battle, but hardly anyone goes there. Sickles' foul-up in the Peach Orchard, which may have actually helped the Union defense, was rehabilitated to historical viewsheds in the past few years. First Day battles around the Seminary and Oak Hill. There's plenty to do without going to LRT & DD.
Wife and I are loading up the bikes (pedal type) and heading there this morning.Power always thinks...that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.

Re: Gettysburg bus tour
I’ve lived 30-40 minutes away for three decades, so we*ve taken many friends and family. By horseback is fun, bikes are nice as well. In the early 90’s you could mountain bike too.
The new visitor’s center is posted, but it’s privately owned, so technically you would have to be trespassed first. There are no detectors (or at least weren’t last time I was there).
Readings gun shop on Washington St.(?) is a fun place, but can be a little expensive.
The underside of the Daubin house is good. The Parrot just to the west of the square is also a good place to eat, as is the Garyowen Irish pub (my favorite).
There is also a huge monthly gun auction about 15 minutes north at Redding’s Auction house. Sundays as I recall:

Have fun!

Re: Gettysburg bus tour
Just to update on this, the Gettysburg National Military Museum has signage everywhere with prohibited items. Walking in the main entrance there was a security guard asking people if they had any weapons on them and hassling anyone with a bag larger than a purse. There were no metal detectors or anything of that nature.
Overall I didn’t find the museum to be that interesting, there are a bunch of neat artifacts to look at and quite a lot of information to absorb. We didn’t do the Cyclorama or the film.
The Dobbin House is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I would make the trip again just for their Baked King’s Onion soup and Pecan pie.
Jennie Wade house was over priced for a self guided tour. Interesting to see but not much to actually see.
The Shriver House Museum/Tour was completely worth the price of admission. The lady who gave the tour was very informative and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all my wife’s questions.
Devil’s Den was mostly accessible, there was just a fence around a portion that stated they will be landscaping. We didn’t bother climbing to Little Round Top mostly because the pathways were still blocked off but we were also able to see that all the monument were also blocked off.
Another important thing, parking sucks in the town of Ghettysburg, every where is metered parking and they patrol like crazy.
