Great visit - Very nice experience. The guide was very friendly, humorous and a great knowledge of the history of the hotel and Quebec. He was open to all our questions. Visit the hotel corridors with some anecdotes. Thanks. I recommend.

Tour is a must, it's a historical influence! - This tour is a Must, even if you are not staying at the hotel. So many "extra" pieces of info about the area that will enhance your trip. You'll see and hear many historical items and rooms that you would not normally view. The guide is dressed in period costume which is a wonderful touch! Loved this tour, would recommend!!

Excellent Time. - Excellent time. Beautiful hotel. IT was very cold outside so it was nice we got to wait in the café. Would be better if we got to see some of the rooms.

A very chic historical tour! - I had an absolute wonderful time in Québec city with Cicérone tours! I got to visit the famous Château Frontenac and our guide Frédéric was knowledgeable, kind, and funny! We saw different parts of the château and hidden rooms only accessible upon reservations. We learned about the different eras of construction and about the famous people that visited the hôtel. It was freezing on the day I went, but only a small part of the tour was outside, and Frédéric made sure we went inside quickly! All in all, I would 100% recommend this tour as well as Cicérone, which I think is THE best tour guide company of Quebec City. I have done 3 tours with them and always had a great time!
