How do I find private guides

[MainLineLady]

It's getting close, we sail June 10 on the Legend to the Baltics. I have gotten a guide for SPB but there are still lots of ports. I've been looking around the internet looking for guides for some of the other ports and haven't come up with much of anything. Does anyone have any words of wisdom ? I'm sure some of the ports don't need guides but again, I'm not sure which ones. I broke my elbow on the ice this winter and took a long time to get back to planning this trip so I'm way behind.

Cruise Critic has forums for ports of call/northern Europe. Specifically, I'd check here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=192

In some ports there are taxis waiting who will offer their services for they day to take you around, Just be sure you find a driver who speaks English and negotiate the total cost before you get in.

Same as being in New York then?

Go to Trip Advisor. Type in city- then choose activities- can find plenty of guides-

they are rated and there are reviews on each guide.

Have had great success using this for many years.

We do much of what has mentioned.

 

I look carefully at the ports of call boards where I have gotten a lot of great recommendations.

 

I also will search on http://www.tripadvisor.com which is a sister site of Cruise Critic.

Always something new. I've been reading Cruise Critic for years and never knew that there was a Ports of Call section. This is going to make everything so much simpler.
