Swift : Button click stops tapGestureDidRecognize on the parent View

Question

Is it possible to be able to click a button and let the tap trickle down to the parent View of a button? I have tried disabling the button and the tap gets detected, but is it possible to click on the button, do something and then let the tap event trickle down?

UIViewControllerWrapperView contains UIView contains UIView contains UIButton

When I click/press the button should go like so,

Click button > UIView tapped > UIView tapped > UIViewControllerWrapperView detect tap

Edit: I can detect Taps on UIViewControllerWrapperView, however, if I click on the button, the Taps are not detected because I'm assuming the click event gets handled by the button which in turn blocks the tap from being detected by the views underneath.
