History in an hour - If you are interesting a quick review of the history of the Chateau, this one hour tour will be an excellent addition to your visit. Our weather (January) was rainy, cold, and bitter, but the guides are truly professionals who made our tour warm and inviting. A definite bonus to a historic landmark.

Perfect activity for a rainy day - Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. He told us many interesting facts about the city, the hotel, and the famous guests. It was pouring on the tour day, but the tour is mostly inside so it was a perfect activity for us!

Amazing - Our guide made it fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and was engaged with the group the whole time. It's such a fascinating place and while we were discussing the Rose Room, our guide just got done talking about an event that happens where canoes race to get from the Chateau area to Levi's ( the other side of the St Lawrence River) and we got to observe it happening! Which was so cool to everyone in the room. This Château was built in sections, and each section had its own unique style. My teen loved learning about the history of this place. When booking this tour, they had a French speaking tour at one time & an English speaking tour at another time. So be sure when booking, to see what language you need and then check the time available.

Behind the Scenes - Fun to go behind the scenes and see all the rooms. The guide was very entertaining too. The group was not too large even though it was during the holiday season.
