100% recommend this Old Town tour. Fun, concise, informative and well worth the price. Renata is a pro and she has a gracious and kind way about her....very approachable, witty and a good educator. Stop looking for the right tour...you found it! Book it before your spot gets taken.

“Potpourri of cultural-historical facts”

Reviewed March 29, 2013

I went on this tour with my two daughters -9 and 11 on a sunny (but crisp) morning! Renata was an excellent guide keeping us in patches of sun during her longer stories and kept all 3 of us engaged throughout the tour! On our return to Riga we brought some of the interesting facts home to see if similar... More

“Great cozy walking tour with lots of details about Stockholm!”

Reviewed March 20, 2013

I was on a trip to Sweden during which I spend some days in Stockholm. Although I have been to Stockholm several times a couple of years ago, I was surprised how many things I did not know about its history and culture. Renata really has a nice and heartwarming way of telling the stories of Stockholm, so that I... More

I was in Stockholm for 8 hours on my way to Greece. I found stoRy touRs and booked it months in advance. Renata contacted me right away and introduced herself on email.

“Book with Story Tours!”

Reviewed September 8, 2012

We arrived in Stockholm without having done much advance planning. Then, when we began to research, everything we read seemed to recommend Renata from Story Tours. We were interested in a private tour, and I own a touring company myself and so assumed that Renata would not be available for a private tour on such last minute notice, so we... More
