Customer Reviews
Got my mom tickets for her birthday for Forbidden Vancouver's History and Hot Chocolate walking tour. What an amazing local experience! Our fabulous professional guide, Marina, made learning about Vancouver's characters, history and architecture fun and exciting. The tour was inclusive, accessible and just the right length at around 1.5 hours. We're planning on going to more of these events with this company. Highly recommended Forbidden Vancouver tours to both visitors and locals alike. -Rebecca and Robin from Vancouver
I had an amazing experience on the Forbidden Vancouver Walking Tour last night. It was such a great and memorable night in Vancouver. Our tour guide, Glenn, was incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. He explained everything so clearly and made the stories come alive in a really engaging way. You could tell he truly cared about the tour and the people in the group. The whole experience was fun, interesting, and very well organized. It honestly became one of the best nights I’ve had in Vancouver. Thank you so much to Glenn and the Forbidden Vancouver team for such a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or living in Vancouver❤️
My wife and I went on the holiday history and hot chocolate tour last night led by Aislynn and it was awesome. Felt like we were reliving a drama of the gossip stories from Vancouver history. Aislynn made the history feel alive and we really enjoyed her presentation. We saw amazing architecture and art. And we are already thinking of doing more of their tours.
