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.

3.00The tour of the chateau Frontenac in Quebec is not worth the money. The guide was very informative and funny she was excellent. The problem was it wasn't much of a tour we saw the lobby and a few hallways . No tour of the blue room or any other ballroom. The only reason I gave it 3 star rating is because of the tour guide. We learned alot about the hotel but didn't see much .
Bravo for this visit and especially our guide thank you

The guide provided alot of interesting historical information in a entertaining and informative manner. She was fantastic but didn't show us alot of the hotel.
