5.00Absolutely delighted with this visit that I would remember all my life!
Just not that interesting

3.00The tour was generic and you can experience the same thing (minus one room) for free by just walking in and doing a little googling. At check in the tour guide asked me where I was from and as I was answering he literally just walked away to speak to another party. He was so uninterested in my response to his own question. I wouldn’t waste your money. Go to the citadel instead because at least there you can get a good view.
Very nice place, visit...

4.00Very nice place, visit of rooms less accessible in normal times, but was a little annoyed with the often infopub side of the visit (talk about brunch, the current price of bottles of wine, variable room rates ..) rather than developing on historical facts, famous visitors or details of the construction...

5.00I did the Visit of the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac and it was awesome! I learned so much about the Château and our guide was incredible, he was extremely funny, engaging and entertaining all while delivering a splendid tour! It is a great way to learn more and see the inside without being a guest and the cost of the tour is 100% worth it.
