    Waste of Time and Money!
    Review of: Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours

    Pass on this tourist trap. It only stops at the Totem Poles for a picture opportunity. It just passes the other attractions along the way, with no photo opportunity. Boring and slow!

    Horses are exploited

    It’s outdated and disgusting the fact that this still exists. Horses are exhausted and clearly exploited, no one cares about their welfare: tourists nor the company. Explore the place by bike or bus, it is going to be wonderful and with no exploitation.

    Overall good, despite communication hiccup

    The tour was leisurely and saw major sites of the park. It’s misleading to say it includes “stops” at several places as it says on the website. The only stop was at the totem poles. This in itself is not a big issue, however we...More

    Excellent guide made all the difference

    This was fairly costly for the 1-hour carriage ride but, moving slowly, it gave us all a chance to absorb the sights, sounds, and the guide's narrative. We learned that the two horses are draft animals from Belgium and France. The French line of these...More

    Relaxing ride through Stanley Park
    Review of: Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours

    My family & parents thoroughly enjoyed our horse carriage tour! This is a must-do especially for first timers in Vancouver. It was great to see the star attractions in Stanley Park via this relaxing, cheerful ride. We would do this again when we come back!

    You could ask if you could leave it at the booth where you pay for the ride. I think they would accommodate. I did not see any signs for scooter parking

    There is a stop at the native totem poles with toilets nearby but this is the only stop on the horses' route. There are toilets near the ticket office for the horse drawn carriages and others throughout the park if you... More
