I loved the Talking Trees tour! Alfonso was our guide and not only showed us the different trees and plants, but related their use by the First Nations people who lived in the area first. I got to eat a wild salmonberry off the stalk and saw a Douglas Squirrel, not to mention an enormous yellow slug (we don't have giant slugs where I live)! The company was very helpful when they cancelled my reservation accidentally.This should be a must for everyone visiting Stanley Park.Alfonza was an outstanding tour guide.

Candace was an excellent guide to both Stanley Park and First Nations culture. She was very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge which people who knew little about her culture. We all learned a great deal and felt that the tour was most worthwhile. I would highly recommend it and Candace as a guide.Patrick our guide was extremely knowledgeable and tolerant of my many questions. The tour was wonderful, exploring parts of Stanley Park that I may not have explored on my own. I feel like I am a better person after having taken this tour.
