Great Tour of Le Chateau Frontenac

5.00We 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.

3.00Big 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.
Enjoy an hour long historical tour

5.00Met 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.
Very good visit
