Tour Quebec City's Château Frontenac with a costumed guide, see private areas, and hear the stories behind Canada's famous castle hotel.

Review of the one-hour Château Frontenac tour in Quebec City, with guide tips, pricing, access details, highlights, drawbacks, and booking advice.
“Tour in the winter should not begin outside The same material can be covered doing the tour in reverse. It is too cold for everyone to wait outside. We were told that the tour started at 1pm so we arrived at 1pm and the guide was annoyed as well others as they had to wait in the cold. If you need people to be 10 minutes earlier than the start time then your company must inform them of that unless it’s stated as an expectation you cannot expect it to happen we did not appreciate being scolded by the tour guide for being on time SS his expectation was that…”
Cruise Gananoque’s Thousand Islands for three hours, with Boldt Castle, border bridges, audio commentary, onboard snacks, and open-water views.

Review of Halifax’s small-group tour to Peggy’s Cove, Citadel Hill, Titanic Cemetery, and downtown sights, with practical booking advice.
