Well worth the time and money! - This is a fantastic tour. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and building of the chateau and added lots of antidotes to bring the place and time to life. The tour takes you into areas that are not open to the public and shows you the opulence and magnificence of the building and decor. It was especially interesting to see the historical photographs of the building and the famous people who have stayed at the chateau.

Best chateau tour - The guide was very nice and funny. He took his time to show us and explain to us the different rooms in the chateau. He also explained all the celebrities and past queens around the world that came and stayed in the chateau. He lifted our spirits by saying we needed to make a wish when going down the staircase. Our tour was really fun! Very family-friendly! Would totally recommend!!!

Super tour! - Fantastic tour. Super informative regarding the history and building of the hotel. Hard to believe it wasn’t all built at once. There was so much interesting information about the evolution of the property. We especially enjoyed the D-Day story. Highly recommend!

Wirth the money! - This was a fantastic tour with one of the best and knowledgable guides. The tour through the chateau frontenac was enlightening to say the least. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about the history of the chateau or the founding of QC in general.

Yes, put it on your tour list while in Quebec City! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our guide was extremely informative, professional and attended to anyone's questions for further information. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to see parts of the Chateau that you wouldn't ordinarily get access to as an everyday tourist who (like us) were not staying at the Chateau. You do have to know that access to certain rooms every day are subject to whether or not they are rented out (ballroom, etc.) and no guest rooms will be shown during the tour. Well worth the time and the cost for the tour. We learned a lot!
