Currency for tipping local guides

I posted this question on the roll call for Viking Eastern European cruises, but thought that there may be people who have this experience as well.  Because this itinerary goes to to 6 different countries and most of them are just for the day, is it necessary to get local currencies for local guides as none of them are on Euros?

I can't remember what we did....  I know we had local currency for both Romania & Hungary --> We may have tipped in Euros in the other countries - or the front desk may have done a bit of exchange for us (Euros to local currency).

Since the ship regularly moves in and out of the euro zone, tips in Euros are reasonable.  I would not tip in dollars.

The problem the OP referred to was tipping local guides, who don’t travel with the ship.
