Behind the scene at the Frontenac hotel. - The Frontenac hotel is such a rare and fascinating jewel, and this tour was super for giving us the ability to see behind the scenes into the most intimate places. Especially intriguing is the room where Churchill and Roosevelt met to discuss the future of the world, and where they planned the invasion of Normandy. Another cool thing was just being able to see one of the guest rooms. I especially liked the tour guide and how he portrayed his character without going too overboard in his dramatics. For a short tour, he was able to pack in a lot of information, and we saw much of the Frontenac hotel beyond the obvious spots.

The perfect tour. - Thomas was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We had a terrific tour of the hotel. We were actually staying there but wouldn’t have known a fraction of its history or importance without our tour. Just perfect.
