Best tour to take & best places to eat in Gettysburg?

[glenmore]

We are headed to Carroll Valley next week for golf Monday-Wednesday. On Wednesday afternoon we will head over to Gettysburg for 2 days.

Any suggestions as to which tour(s) to take or best places to eat will be greatly appreciated . . .

The ghost tours in Gettysburg are entertaining. If you want, you can purchase a CD at the Visitor's Center and do your own auto tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield. McClellan's Tavern on the square we would highly recommend. Also you can usually obtain certificates for Mcclellan's Tavern on restaurant.com

The Blue Parrot Bistro off the square has great food.

Thanks for the help - always glad to hear from people who "have been there and done that."

Double Ditto that one!

We bought the CD / Tape once and have enjoyed it. If you want to be treated to a great tour, I'd hire the personal tour guide. They can give you a slice of history like no other. It will be very interactive though, so be prepared to ask a lot of questions.

Enjoy.
