5.00This tour offers a great historical perspective on how Stanley Park came to be and includes some of the more sordid historical events affecting indigenous peoples. Our guide, Ashlyn, was an excellent story teller...animated, humorous, and well informed. She was a delight and made the 2 hour tour fly by.

5.00We booked The Dark Secrets of Stanley Park Tour as a private tour to cater for a high school trip coming from Glasgow, Scotland. It turned out to be a fantastic decision. Our tour guides - Rob and Will - were excellent and kept our students hanging on their every word throughout. If you are considering booking any Forbidden Vancouver tour at all, please do it. You won’t be disappointed. The process of booking and confirming in advance was really straightforward and the communication from the company was top notch. Thank you, everyone.
