The guide was interesting, and food was good, but the portions at the first two stops were exceptionally small. There was a lot of walking .

Our guide was super. He was in character as Lord Frontenac the whole time.
He was witty , delightful and informative.
He had antidotes and great stories.

A great introduction to Quebec. Worth doing a bit of prep before like a short history summary from a guidebook to get the full benefit. There’s a lot of dates and names so get the gist beforehand.

Our guide, Lady Aberdeen, was very knowledgeable and interesting. She knew a lot about the history of Quebec City and the Chateau. The architecture and the decor were amazing! We enjoyed learning and seeing the amazing rooms. If you enjoy learning about history and architecture, this is a wonderful tour and we recommend it.

You can go inside Château de Frontenac without a tour guide, but I enjoyed walking around more with a guide. Our guide, Chantelle, gave a lot of historical and architectural facts and was patient answering questions. Plus, she was pleasant and fun!

Our tour guide was excellent with plenty of facts about his "character" and the history of the hotel. I particularly enjoyed seeing the inside of a small suite. I also enjoyed seeing the pictures of moments in the Fairmont's history, like pictures of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt and the room where history was made during WWII. Some of the rooms we saw were in flux, either to event preparation or other changes. Overall though, the tour was excellent. I watched the movie I Confess after coming home and was delighted to see Le Chateau Frontenac and the hotel ballroom in the movie.

The Concierge at the Fairmont arranged the tour. Cicerone took the three of us on a group walking tour with myself in a manual wheelchair. Tours Voir-Quebec refused to take us even though I had been going around old QC without much difficulty (on the upper city level) for hours with the help of my husband. Our character, Charles, provided us a wonderful experience filled with history of QC including an amusing story regarding the statue of Samuel de Champlain, visited the walls and cannons, historic churches, artisans area, the oldest university, a park and the old Post Office and ended the tour on the "most beautiful street" close to unique shops and the funicular in the lower level of old QC. The funicular much like an elevator provided transportation back up to the Dufferin Terrace. This tour did not have any steps but did have a steep hill to descend which we were able to do. The cobblestones down on the plaza/square took us an extra minute to cross but were doable for us. Not every disabled person could do this but a good percent could on the upper level with assistance. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and wish to thank the Fairmont's Concierge, Vincent, and Cicerone Tours/Charles for this wonderful experience.

This was a very interesting tour. Our guide told us many stories about the hotel and the history. There were some fun anecdotes that he told us. There was more to see here than we had time. My husband went back later to spend a little more time in the museum. Glad we did this.
