Great intro to a beautiful park, despite its not so sunny beginnings - Glenn was spectacular - engaging, informative, energetic! Great tour to get to know the 'darker' side of Stanley Park.

Excellent tour - 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.

Better than walking by yourself - Some walking but quite manageable. Entertaining and reveals tales you may not hear about otherwise if walking by yourself. Cole was articulate and a fun guide.
