      The Ancient Trees of Stanley Park Tour
      Marlene_R, May 2024
      The whole tour was so well planned. Colin is a great guide who not only showed us the trees but shared so much historical information about Stanley Park and the various types of trees and other plants in the area. It was a great combination of recreation and education!
      Amazing tour, one of our best days in Vancouver!
      Stephanie_L, May 2024
      Colin is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the park and the conservation of the trees. This was probably our best day in Vancouver getting to see some of the natural history and 1000's of year old trees! Well worth every penny and would highly recommend :)
      A memorable must-go
      Yasmine_R, May 2024
      Colin was extremely knowledgeable, fun and friendly, and made it a memorable adventure that we won’t soon forget. Not to mention, we learned so much and we found Colin’s tour a one-of-a-kind experience that both visitors and residents should attend!
      Great learning experience about trees
      Kevin_C, Apr 2024
      Pleasant experience with Collin. He is a knowledgeable tour guide in this arena. He has made the trail walk a more fun and informative experience. Highly recommended!
      Fun in the woods.
      KristenR_H, Mar 2024
      Colin is a very knowledgeable guy, I learned so many things about trees that I didn't know. He is interesting and fun and time flies by on the tour.
      Great ancient tree seeker experience
      Santiago_S, Mar 2024
      I had a great experience with this tour. The park has many different hidden gems that were brought to my attention and different digestable facts to learn about these ancient, and not so ancient, trees. I recommend even if you have no knowledge on the subject as the guide will walk you through so many interesting facts of the park.
      Truly amazing nature in urban Vancouver
      Mike_M, Jan 2024
      Colin is a Vancouver treasure. His knowledge and passion were non-stop. If we had only one thing we could do in this beautiful town, all three (ages 60, 25, and 24) agree this tour would be it. Excellent in every way.
      Fantastic nature walk
      Joe_L, Dec 2023
      The Ancient Trees of Vancouver walking tour was the highlight of our trip! Colin contacted us and rearranged our meeting time due to inclement weather, gave detailed meet-up information, and was incredibly informed about the subject. He had maps, news articles, antique postcards, and photographs (all laminated), which added to his immense knowledge of the site - especially the trees. It was an experience we will never forget. I couldn't recommend it more. Fascinating, thorough, and spiritually centering. Even my 19 year old son enjoyed the 2+ hour hike through this amazing Park.
      Scenic walking tour full of knowledge and history.
      Sam_C, Dec 2023
      Was travelling solo and Colin was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide that takes you through the depths of Stanley Park and explains to significance and history of some of Canada's oldest and most important trees. Gained a ton of new knowledge and appreciation for the trees I never even knew existed. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vancouver and wanting to see Stanley Park.
      Educating and beautiful tour!
      Annette_N, Oct 2023
      Colin is a true expert in his field and his mission as an ancient tree CONSERVATIONIST (not to be confused with an arborist) moved us to the core. Truly one of the most inspiring moments of our trip. We left more educated and awe inspired by this dwindling and critically vital ecosystem. the trees will blow your mind! His articulate retelling of the First Nations peoples’ and their plight in the area brought deeply moving awareness Colin is a wonderful guide and a gift to this land.
      A Must See!
      Jodi_J, Jul 2023
      Not only is Colin knowledgeable about the trees of Stanley Park, he has a passion for them as well! Colin shared historical accounts and stories about Stanley Park and connected those stories with the trees of present-day. The path we walked was easy to navigate and absolutely gorgeous. I thought it was a fantastic tour, and being able to connect with these big beauties was truly an honor!
      Number 1 tour in Vancouver.
      Paulo_D, Apr 2024
      Um empolgante tour com um apaixonado pela natureza e parques como o Colin Sprat. Com profundo conhecimento não só do Stanley Park mas de toda Columbia Britânica, ele nos ensina detalhes da formação da florestas, as seguidas ameaças dedestruição , suacapacidade de restauração e umavisão crítica da atuação do homem. Pudesse o mundo ter mais pessoas como o Colin para instruir as pessoas sobre o que é um verdadeiro sentido de preservação da natureza e memórias culturais. Imperdível passeio. Um achado precioso
      Magnifique expérience Collin est un guide passionné qui maîtrise son sujet

      Le fait que l’essence du cèdre rouge dans la période des premières nations était aussi utilisée pour des vêtements Épinette de l’île du pacifique est un arbre qui est un poison malgré cela il sauve des vies ; de ce fait il est utilisé pour les traitements du cancer du sein On l’utilise en traitement de chimiothérapie 🌸
