A wonderful way to learn a little history of the hotel and Old Quebec - 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.

Chateau Frontenac tour Quebec city - The 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 .

What we saw we could have done on our own. 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.
