Lovely way to see Stanley Park - The ideal way to see Stanley Park at walking pace without doing it on your own two feet. Being up higher also gives better views than a car or bicycle. Our driver and guide was clearly very competent with the horses as well as being knowledgeable about the park's highlights and history. The horses never put a foot wrong despite the inconsiderate car drivers and a couple of roaring trucks. Well worth the price.

Very nice way to see Stanley park - Emily our driver (if that’s what you call her) was fantastic. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She had a fun way about her. You can tell she just really enjoys her job. Jim and Chief (our horses) were great.

Best way to see Stanley Park is by horse carraige - An excellent tour of Stanley Park. The guide/driver was interesting, friendly and pleasant. She made the trip very special by telling us of the horses, history of the park and Vancouver.

Stanley Park Horse Carriage Your - We had a fabulous trip around the park, with Laura our driver looking after the horses so well, in such a caring way, whilst keeping us entertained with interesting facts along the way, as well as a brilliant story about Larry!

Good boys! - On a gorgeous September morning, we drove through Stanley Park behind two brawny draft horses, one a Percheron the other a Clydesdale. Our personable Scottish driver regaled us with Vancouver info and jokes. We loved it. We booked in advance through TripAdvisor. The horses were very good boys. An hour zipped by.

Scenic ride through Stanley Park. - Excellent overview of the park with informative commentary from our driver, Steph. One stop at the totems where there is also a comprehensive gift shop (not enough time to do both during the tour). Much better price through Viator than through the park for the same tour.

Poor booking system - Incredibly poor customer service. Booking system is poorly managed. Over booked carriages. We waited 3 hours for our booking. With a 1year old and completely took over our whole day. Very disappointing.
