Residency Evil posted:Do you guys have any suggestions of finding good guides in some of the touristy European cities? Whenever we're traveling around the bigger museums it seems like the guides always provide some good context/stories/etc. I'm sure it's also more engaging for kids. We've had generally good results with a couple of tour guides recommended by Rick Steves. Specifically, the best guide we've ever had was Francesca in Rome for the Colosseum. This was in 2008 but it looks like she's still going strong: https://www.ricksteves.com/tours/guides/francesca-caruso We've also used tours by locals several times with good results, we've only used them in the US but they seem to have pretty good European coverage.

runawayturtles posted:My wife recently brought up Stockholm as a potential next trip, so I started working on a small itinerary that also includes Gothenburg and Copenhagen. Haven't gotten too far yet, but seems like it could be a nice 1.5 week trip or so, taking a train between each city. We took a Baltic cruise last summer with more or less a full day in each port but no overnights. It's not how we normally like to travel but it was an interesting way to get a little taste of each city and see where we might want to go back to for an extended visit. There is a cruising megathread where someone might know but AFAIK most of the itineraries there are going to be one day per port. If you're really interested in Stockholm primarily/specifically you're probably better off skipping the cruise, or see if there is a cruise that starts or ends in Stockholm so you can spend a few focused days there before/after.
