Underwhelming
Yvonne_U
, Jul 2022
We were hoping to see some interesting parts of the Chateau including guest rooms. We were shown the two biggest ball rooms and the Salon Rose which would have been the best part of the tour. The group was big and the host had a strong accent so it was difficult to follow. We spent the first 10 minutes outside looking at photos. And be sure to use the washroom before you get to the meeting point (there isn’t one there) - or you’ll have to wait till the end of the tour.

Grand Scale, Inside as Well as Outside

How can you go to Quebec City and NOT explore the “elephant” in the skyline? The Hotel was built well over 100 years ago, and on an incredibly grand scale. I wanted to see if the inside was as grand as the outside- and it is!

Short and to the point tour that covers the amazing history of the hotel. Highlight of tour was visiting the room the FDR and Churchill used to discuss Operation Overlord....blow away by being able to stand in the same room as some of the greatest leaders the world has ever known.

I took this tour with my 12 year old grandson. It turned out to be one of his favourite activities in Quebec City. Because we stayed at the Chateau Frontenac this tour made our stay there so much more meaningful. A lot of information was packed into an hour, perfect amount of time.
