Pro: Fun info on hotel and history. Con: Guide’s voice was too soft to be heard. Group was too large given how busy the hotel was.

We enjoyed learning about the history & functioning of the hotel. Our guide (none other than Frontenac himself) was personable & humorous.

Thomas was a terrific guide. He was well versed in the history of the hotel and of the old city. We wish the tour could have been longer. He is delightful.

Absolutely fantastic tour! Saw hidden gems of the city & learned lots of history along the way! Luis/Louse was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowable, had a great sense of humor and was very patient with our group (who wanted to take lots of pictures). I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent and informative tour of the hotel. You get to learn about the history and see many extraordinarily beautiful rooms. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Guide was fantastic…. Great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this tour if you have some free time in Quebec City.

We took the Viator tour of Le Chateau Frontenac. The tour was excellent and we saw places inside the hotel we would not see or know how to find on our own. The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Our guide was Thomas and he was very informative and entertaining. This tour was a great value and exceeded expectations.

A great tour experience. Thomas presented lots of historical information, anecdotes, and other facts about Le Chateau Frontenac. He made the tour enjoyable and fun.

Big group size and even though they split us into two groups it was hard to hear the guide. Inside the hotel was noisy and missed the majority of what she said.

Met group of @40 in the boardwalk outside 1884 coffee shop in front of the Chateau de Frontenac facing the river. Two costumed tour guides split the group into 2. He was the man who the chateau was named after and gave lots of history outside with picture book and took us around inside with great historical commentary. Very nice tour-I love history. My companion and I both thought it was great.
