This 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.

We 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.
Hi Christopher, Wow! Thanks for taking the time to write us such a glowing review! Will and Rob had a great time leading your students, and their hearts will be warmed to know the students had such a great time. Your support, recommendation, and five stars make all the difference for us, and we'd love to host you again if you're ever on another trip to Vancouver :)
Enjoyed it thoroughly. Rob was a great guide. Very informative. Being my first trip to Vancouver, I learned a a lot about the city and its history.
Hi Dennis, Thank you so much for leaving a review! I am delighted to hear you had a wonderful time with Rob on the Dark Secrets of Stanley Park Tour. Thrilled we could deliver a memorable experience on your first trip to Vancouver :) What an honour! So glad you could join us and hope to see you again on the next trip!
