Any good travel tours from usa to Stockholm, Sweden?

[PennyLane1]

Most of what I see online looks like day tours that originate IN Stockholm. Do you know where there would be one that guides you all the way over and through the duration there?

Also, any general tips on traveling there from the usa for the first time?

If you want an all-inclusive tour and are not very familiar with international travel then best is for you to see a real travel agency where you live to arrange the trip.

You need a passport:

Unless the extra $30 would be important then get a passport card in addition to the regular passport:

The cards are only valid for crossing land/sea borders within North America, but they make great daily ID when traveling abroad. That lets you keep your regular passport (and US driving license) safely tucked away.

The cards also don’t show your home address (like a driving license or state ID card does), making it much less likely someone could steal your identity while you are traveling.

Check with your health insurance to find out if it covers you outside the USA and pays for medical evacuation to home (should that be necessary). If yes then take proof of coverage with you. If no or not sure then get trip medical insurance, which is cheap and sold by airlines & travel agents. Please do not skimp on this as an otherwise-silly accident could turn into a crisis if you don't have medical insurance. This is a link from the US government, but the info is good for anyone traveling outside their home country:
