Our guide was very informative and engaging. It was VERY cold before our tour, so thankfully he moved us in to the lobby quickly instead of spending too much time outdoors looking at the architecture.

Great tour with opportunities to see normally off limits areas. History of the chateau surprisingly interesting.

Great experience and very nice guide we had, the sister of Sarah Bernard. A very nice guided visit, 10 minutes outside and the rest inside. It was awesome. Thank you!

My husband and I were disappointed with the spaces we were allowed to see. We expected to see more of the hotel. The guide provided excellent history and stories which were educational and entertaining.

Tour in the winter should not begin outside The same material can be covered doing the tour in reverse. It is too cold for everyone to wait outside. We were told that the tour started at 1pm so we arrived at 1pm and the guide was annoyed as well others as they had to wait in the cold. If you need people to be 10 minutes earlier than the start time then your company must inform them of that unless it’s stated as an expectation you cannot expect it to happen we did not appreciate being scolded by the tour guide for being on time SS his expectation was that everyone arrives 10 minutes earlier but that expectation is not relayed to the client. I can’t blame everyone for being miserable to be standing in the cold for 10 minutes and the tour could be adjusted in the wi tee to find a place to start that is not outside.. The tour was very thorough and the tour guide was knowledgeable It was interesting

Great guide in period dress. Enjoyed the history and stories of the Chateau. Started outdoors with most time inside, nice on a cold day!

The tour was fun and informative, our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and had a sense of humor!

We were running a bit late and let them know 20 mins before the start and the tour provider responded quickly and then allows us to meet in the lobby a bit into the tour without holding up the group. Very communicative and accommodating. We got to see all sorts of things inside the hotel, it was very cool to see the restaurant and salons and ballrooms all decorated for Christmas but without a crowd of people. It was a rainy day, so we all enjoyed the history and the sights inside.

Really interesting and fast moving tour. We booked last minute for same day and were so glad we took the time and the tour. We learned a lot!

Great way to learn more about the Chateau and the history of Quebec City. Be aware if older or have mobility issues that you will need to climb several flights of stairs (but there's cool stuff there). Probably not the activity for young children.
