Visiting inside the Chateau Frontenac Hotel on a guided tour in Quebec City

An honest review of my experience with Cicerone Tours in Quebec City

Over the years, I have visited Quebec City a few times, once for the Carnival de Quebec winter festival and another time as a field trip during a French language immersion program with the Explore program. When I had the chance to return for the day in the summer of 2021, I really wanted to focus on major attractions I didn't get the chance to explore on previous trips. I had certainly seen the iconic Fairmont Chateau Frontenac Hotel from the outside, but I had never stepped foot inside and I thought a guided tour would be a good way to learn more about the history of both the hotel and the city.

I booked this one hour guided history tour as part of a package with a bus tour from Vieux Quebec Tours and I paid for it myself, so this is a completely independent review. 

You can read a  detailed summary  of all the experiences I had with Cicerone Tours on a guided tour of the Chateau Frontenac Hotel or jump straight to my  final recommendation  at the end.

Keep reading to find out what we did on this guided tour of the Fairmont Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City!

Quick Overview of the Chateau Frontenac History Tour with Cicerone Tours

Destinations : This tour focused on the the Fairmont Hotel Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, we stayed in the hotel and on the surroundings grounds on the Dufferin Terrace area behind the hotel for the entire tour, we did not walk around any other parts of the city.

How long was the tour:  This guided tour of the Chateau Frontenac Hotel lasted about 1 hour.

Who was on the tour : There were about 12 people on this guided tour of the hotel, mostly Canadians and a few Americans, mostly all on summer vacation to visit Quebec City. There were some teenagers and pre-teens but there were no young children on this tour.

Who was the guide:   This Quebec City hotel history tour had one guide. He was easy to understand and completely bilingual, very energetic, engaging and often funny and provided facts and commentary about the Chateau Frontenac Fairmont Hotel. You won’t have trouble finding the guide because they are dressed in a traditional, historic costume. The guide also had a binder with a number of reference pictures for explaining various historical events.

How did we travel:  This history tour took place entirely within and around the hotel so we just walked, we occasionally had to go up and down stairs but the hotel did have elevators if needed.

When did I take this tour:  August 2021.

1884 Pavilion Dufferin Terrace

The predeparture information specified where to meet the guide at the 1884 pavilion on Dufferin Terrace behind the hotel. I had a bit of trouble locating it on Google Maps so I would have appreciated a picture of the meeting spot so I knew what to look for. However, the guide was there in historic costume so you probably won’t miss it. The guide definitely attracts some attention and we had some random people try to join in with our tour even though they didn’t have bookings !

Walking outside the hotel

The tour started on time and we spent about fifteen or twenty minutes outside learning about the history of the hotel and a bit about the founding of Quebec City, the history of French Canada and the role of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in designing and building the hotel. It is now also a National Historic Site and is managed by Fairmont Hotels. This portion of the tour was outside and we were standing, so just dress for the weather to be comfortable. We then all walked as a group around the building and entered the lobby through the main doors.

Chateau Frontenac Lobby

Once inside, the guide pointed out a number of architectural features and construction materials, mentioned when and where renovations were done and provided other interesting facts about the decor and various objects and items around the hotel. Due to this tour taking place on a busy summer weekend, we were unable to view several of the rooms highlighted on the website because there were weddings happening that afternoon.

Chateau Frontenac Wine Cellar

As an alternative to the ballroom, which was closed for an event, we were able to see the extensive wine cellar, which had historically been a laundry area until it was renovated. I thought it was interesting and I probably would never have seen this room if I just visited the hotel myself without a tour guide.

Chateau Frontenac Hotel Museum Displays

Next, we moved on the the lower level which has a few little shops and a Starbucks and also hosts some museum style exhibits and displays of artefacts, paintings and other historic items. The guide gave an overview of some highlight items and suggested we return when the tour was done if we wanted to see every exhibit in detail. There were also washrooms on this level if needed.

Back upstairs, we briefly visited the 1608 bar and attached restaurant area which has a beautiful design and decor and some very expensive bottles of whiskey on display ! Usually the tour would visit the historic Rose Room, but that again was being used for a wedding, so this was an alternative.

Dining Room

One of the last stops was a dining room with historic wood details and fireplaces, it was yet again being set up for a wedding but we managed to sneak in anyway and the guide told some stories about famous gatherings that had taken place there.

As we walked between the various stops, the guide would often point out random interesting objects around the hotel like statues and a golden mailbox and explain their significance. The tour ended back in the main lobby where the guide provided suggestions for further places of interest to visit in Quebec City.

Final Recommendation :

Hotel chateau frontenac history tour with cicerone tours in quebec city.

I thought this tour provided the experience as described on the Cicerone Tours website. I booked this tour as part of a package along with an open top bus tour sold by Vieux Quebec Tours and I had no issues contacting the company directly by email to reserve a place on the history tour.

The website was fine to navigate in English or French, email communication and pre departure information was sufficient, although I would have appreciated a picture of the tour meeting point to confirm I was in the right place.

The guide was genuinely nice and knowledgeable about the hotel, and obviously very experienced. I thought he addressed French Canadian history in a respectful way and made a point of getting to know people on the tour and his commentary was both informative and often funny without being inappropriate or political.

In terms of accessibility, we walked down staircases a few times, but the hotel does have elevators available.

I think an important thing to be aware of is that the rooms that you actually see in the hotel will be subject to availability, which is noted on the Cicerone Tours website. One woman on our tour was really excited to see the Rose Room and it was closed for a wedding, so if you wanted to see a particular room or area, maybe don’t book on a busy weekend or inquire in advance about what would be open to view.

Overall, I found this to be an informative activity on my fourth visit to Quebec City. Actually going inside the hotel and learning about the history was a nice way to get some context for the rest of my visit and I though the time went by really quickly, I was never bored and would have enjoyed seeing even a few more rooms ! Overall, I felt the value was there with this hotel tour especially as part of a package deal with the bus tour I did earlier in the morning.

Afternoon Tea at the Château Frontenac [2024 Update]

Enjoying an afternoon tea at the Fairmont Château Frontenac is an immensely popular tourist activity in the stunning city of Quebec. Truth be told, as a Quebecoise, the notion of partaking in this tea ritual never really appealed to me, given that it isn’t a typical part of our French-Canadian culture. My interest in afternoon tea only piqued when I began working as a tour guide and discovered that it was offered as a shore excursion for cruise-ship passengers. Initially, I dismissed it as a mere tourist gimmick – why would visitors want to engage in an activity that isn’t practiced by locals? To me, it was akin to seeking out the best French baguettes in Tokyo; it just didn’t make sense.

In early January, I received an invitation to join some of my fellow tour guide colleagues for Afternoon Tea at Chateau Frontenac. The invitation was extended by JPDL Quebec, a local destination management company and conference organizer that I work with a few times a year. Working for JPDL provides me with the opportunity to try out various activities with groups, such as golf, biking, and – my personal favorite – white water rafting (since I get to partake in the rafting with the group!). Every year, JPDL treats their team of tour guides to a special activity. Instead of hosting a formal Christmas Party, JPDL prefers to give us the chance to experience our own city as tourists and try out something new each year. I absolutely love this concept!

At the time it was common to take just two meals daily, breakfast, and supper at around 8 o’clock at night. The seventh Duchess of Bedford started to arrange tea with bread, butter and cake to her room to give her back energy for the rest of the day. Before sufficiently long, she welcomed her companions to appreciate it with her. By the 1880s, evening tea had become a high design occasion served with silver tea kettles, fine linens and teacups, and high quality teas

A Real Foodie Experience in Quebec City

Upon arriving at Chateau Frontenac, we headed down to Place Dufferin, located on the lower level of the hotel. The staff at Chateau Frontenac were incredibly warm and welcoming, providing us with a detailed explanation of how our Afternoon tea would be served. To start off, we were offered a refreshing seasonal glass of kombucha and a selection of fresh fruits. Afterward, we were given the opportunity to choose from an extensive range of high-quality Lot 35 teas, which were complemented by traditional scones served with jam and homemade Devon cream. For my tea selection, I opted for the Grand Bazaar Spice tea, which is a Black Tea originating from Sri Lanka, India, and Kenya. The tea boasts a rich cardamom scent and an intoxicating aroma of cloves and cinnamon, with a touch of citrus from the added orange pieces. It was absolutely delicious! In fact, it reminded me of the mulled wine typically served during Winter Carnival.

The Classics

Shortly after, our waiters brought out some afternoon tea classics such as cucumber sandwiches, mini-hamburgers, shrimps, and various amuse-bouches. Each bite was bursting with flavor! Just when I thought the service was coming to an end, our waiters surprised us with the Chateau’s signature mignardises. Simply put, WOW! My previous assumptions about the afternoon tea at Chateau Frontenac were completely off-base. I was completely blown away by the entire experience. It was truly enjoyable to indulge in the delicious food and tea, while also feeling like royalty for a moment!

If you’re anything like me, then you’re sure to appreciate the whimsical and colorful tableware used for the afternoon tea service at Chateau Frontenac. It’s reminiscent of something out of Alice in Wonderland! I couldn’t help but admire their custom-made porcelain tea service, which was specially crafted for them in London by William Edwards to commemorate the hotel’s 125th anniversary. If you’re interested, you can find this charming tea service, as well as all of their delicious teas, available for purchase at the Fairmont store. It’s the perfect souvenir to take home and remember your wonderful experience at the Chateau Frontenac.

About the Chateau Frontenac

The Chateau Frontenac, with its stunning castle-like architecture that calls to mind the grand chateaux of France’s Loire Valley, first opened its doors to guests in 1893 and was immediately recognized as one of the most exceptional hotels in the world. Initially boasting a total of 170 rooms, the Chateau Frontenac has undergone several expansions over the years, including the addition of its main tower. Today, this impressive structure boasts 610 recently restored guest rooms and suites, offering guests a luxurious and unforgettable stay in the heart of Quebec City.

Chateau Frontenac during war time

For over a century, the Château Frontenac has been known for its tea and has helped to build the hotel’s reputation. While many of the events held at the Chateau were festive, what many people don’t realize is that one of the most significant gatherings held there was the meeting of the Western allies during World War II. Quebec City was one of the safest places for the Allies to meet during the war, and it was during this important conference that the Normandy Landing was planned. I like to discuss this historical event during my Quebec City tours because I know that even many locals are unaware of it. It is especially important because thousands of Canadians were involved in the Normandy Landing.

The First Quebec’s Conference

In August of 1943, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the United States President Franklin Roosevelt, and the Canadian Prime Minister William Mackenzie took over the entire premises of the Chateau Frontenac for a war summit known as the “First Quebec Conference,” which included more than 700 diplomats and staff. The second conference was held in mid-September of 1944 and focused on the reconstruction of Europe after the end of the Second World War. Despite the extreme security measures taken during the conferences that greatly interrupted the hotel’s regular routine, the afternoon tea tradition continued with full tea services prepared for 200 guests each day at 4:00. As you can see, the history behind the afternoon tea at the Chateau Frontenac is truly fascinating!

How much does it cost to have the afternoon tea at the Chateau Frontenac?

Teatime at the Chateau Frontenac costs $74 CAD per adult, taxes and service extra. There are special prices for children.

In conclusion

Now that you know all about the afternoon tea at Chateau Frontenac, should you give it a try? Is it a must-do in Quebec City? Is it worth it? Here are my thoughts…

Reasons NOT to book the Afternoon Tea at the Chateau Frontenac

If you are looking for a budget activity or travelling with kids… maybe not….The fare is $74 CAD per person so it might not fit every traveler’s budget. If you are looking for a traditional activity (the one that locals actually do)… than no… the Afternoon tea is not part of the French-Canadian Culture. Sorry.

Reasons why you should book

If you’re searching for a foodie and relaxed activity away from the bustling Old Quebec, then absolutely YES! If you want to indulge yourself and feel like royalty, then YES! Even if you’re not staying at the Chateau for the night but still want to experience the chateau vibe, definitely book it! All in all, I highly recommend this activity. It’s memorable, enjoyable and one-of-a-kind. It’s even tour guide approved!

Afternoon Tea at the Château: A gourmet break

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac’s Place Dufferin restaurant is the ideal spot for a delightful afternoon break. Indulge in their Afternoon Tea, which features a variety of LOT 35 teas by Metropolitan Tea, a gourmet tower of open sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Devonshire cream and homemade jams, as well as an array of pastries and sweets prepared by their expert pastry chefs.

Self-Guided Walking Tour of Old Quebec City

• Posted by by Pamela MacNaughtan
• June 16, 2019

Last Updated on March 4, 2024 by Pamela MacNaughtan

Quebec City, one of the oldest cities in Canada, is a favourite destination among those who want to wander down cobblestone streets lined with stone tin-roofed houses. Established in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain , Quebec City began in what is now known as Petit-Champlain and Place-Royale , before moving up to the top of Cap Diamant — which gave the settlers a better view of the Saint-Lawrence River, and thus a better chance of defending themselves against possible enemies — and stretching into what we now call Vieux-Port.

The beauty of a self-guided tour is that you have complete control: start whenever you want, choose which points of interest to spend time and which ones to skip, and take as many café breaks as you want — we’ll mark cafés on the tour map as well as wifi hotspots!

This self-guided walking tour of Quebec City will take you through Old Quebec City, which is perched atop Cap Diamant, then down the cap, into Vieux-Port, Place-Royale, and Petit-Champlain, before returning you to the starting point.

let the self-guided walking tour begin!

Starting point: fairmont château frontenac.

1, rue des carrières

Designed by Bruce Price, an American architect, Château Frontenac was built in 1893; as one of the château-style hotels built for the Canadian Pacific Railway ( Fairmont Banff Springs ,  Fairmont Château Laurier , and Fairmont Château Lake Louise were also built as part of this initiative ). Sitting atop Cap Diamant in Quebec’s Uppertown (also known as Old Quebec City), Fairmont Château Frontenac stands tall and majestic as though it is protecting the city from invasion — which makes sense as the Saint-Louis Fort once stood just in front of the hotel’s current location.

Start your tour outside the château, on rue du Fort, making your way to Monument Samuel de Champlain, which stands on Dufferin Terrace, in front of the château. This is an LGTBQIA2S+ safe space.

Created by the French sculptor, Paul Chevré, and architect, Paul Alexander le Cardonnel, Monument Samuel de Champlain (the founder of Quebec) stands on Dufferin Terrace, just in front of the Fairmont Château Frontenac.

In January 1896, a contest took place to find an artist to create a monument of Samuel de Champlain. Artists submitted sketches and models (there were 11 sketches and 14 models in total) of their proposed vision for the monument, which were then judged by a committee. The winner, a young sculptor from France, Paul Romain Chevré was awarded $30,000 to create the statue of Samuel de Champlain — which was placed on Dufferin Terrace in September 1898. The base upon which the statue stands was created by Paul Alexander le Cardonnel using stone similar to that of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

• Instagram a shot of the monument from a distance with Château Frontenac in the background, or move up close to admire some of the finer details — look close enough and you’ll notice that crown resting upon one of the angels resembles the old fortress.
• Capture a shot of Dufferin Terrace and Fairmont Château Frontenac.
• Stand along the railing to Instagram a shot of Petit-Champlain, which is located at the bottom of Cap Diamant, with the Saint-Lawrence River in the distance.

Leaving Dufferin Terrace, walk past Au 1884 (the gazebo), up the stairs, and into Jardins des Gouverneurs. Here, in the centre of the garden, you will find a monument erected to honour General James Wolfe & Marquis de Montcalm ; one English, the other French, both died during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759 (which only lasted 15 mins).

From the top right corner of Jardins des Gouverneurs, you’ll see rue Haldimand, a short street with a steep hill, the houses on this street date back to 1823 — owned by a couple of mayors, legislative councillor, a lawyer, a notary and a judge. To be honest, we just love the houses and the fine details that can be found when we look closely.

• Take time to admire the fine architectural details on the houses along rue Haldimand – the ornate knobs are our favourite!

A popular spot with visitors in spring, summer, and fall, Terrasse Pierre-Duga-de-Mons is a small terrace situated above Dufferin Terrace. A small terrace with a little flower garden and bench seating, a bronze bust of Pierre Duga de Mons (sculpted by Hamilton MacCarthy in 2007) rests in the centre.

Pierre Duga de Mons, a French explorer who travelled to the new world on a couple of occasions at the beginning of the 17th century, before entrusting his lieutenant, Samuel de Champlain to establish the colony of New France — known today as Quebec City.

• Walk up to the top of the grassy hill for one of the best views of Château Frontenac, the Saint-Lawrence River, and Old Quebec City. It’s a classic postcard shop — and one of our favourite places to go for sunset picnics.

After Instagramming your classic postcard shot of Quebec, following the path along the top of the Citadel, making your way to back to rue Saint-Louis, then continuing on the next point of interest on rue Donnacona — of course, you may want to make a couple of Instagram stops along the way, here are some suggestions:

• Visit La Citadelle, a military fortress that is over 300 years old, and still active! Instagram the changing of the guard in summer, or a cool shot of the fortress walls and guns.
• Visit the ramparts and fortifications of Quebec on rue Saint-Louis, climb the stairs at the wall to get a shot from above.
• Walk down rue Saint Louis to rue de Corps de Garde where you’ll find a cannonball lodged at the base of the tree– it’s said to have landed there during the Battle of Québec in 1759, OR placed here on purpose to keep horse-drawn carriages from bumping the tree.
• Instagram some of the unique doors on rue Donnaconna or Monastère des Ursulines de Québec.

The first Anglican church to be built outside Britain, The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity is the seat of the Diocese of Quebec City. Built between 1800 and 1804, the cathedral is British-Palladian – in architectural style – and fashioned after London’s Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. The cathedral’s tower has eight bells, the heaviest being 840 kg and the lightest being 297 kg. The cathedral is also home to a silver communion set which was ordered by King George III.

• Take time to admire the intricate details inside the cathedral: the ornate ceiling, the antique wooden pews, the beautiful stained glass windows. There are so many beautiful details to photograph, and admire.
• Want to know more? Consider taking a guided tour of the cathedral with a local historian. Book a tour here .

As much as we love to walk around and explore this beautiful city, sometimes we like to take a mini-break to enjoy a café au lait, espresso, or chocolat chaud ; a fresh pastry or macaron is also a must. One of our favourite spots in Old Quebec City is La Maison Smith.

A new café in Upper Town (the original location is down in Place-Royale), La Maison Smith is small with seating for roughly twenty-two people. The focus is on their extensive counter, which holds delightfully delicious pastries made by Paillard as well as macarons and cakes made locally, and gourmet sandwiches. This is an LGTBQIA2S+ safe space.

My recommendation: café au lait or chocolat chaud and a warmed croissant avec amandes (almond croissant).

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Urban Guide Quebec (@urbanguidequebec) on Apr 25, 2019 at 3:45am PDT

• After your café break stop by Notre-Dame de Québec: admire the gorgeous details inside, the old wooden spiral stairs, stained glass, and more!
• Wander down rue Saint-Famille, then exploring the quiet streets of rue Garneau and rue Christie.
• Chez Temporel (women-owned + LGBTQIA2S+ safe space) on rue Couillard has been a favourite among local artists for years — and appears in the book Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny.
• From rue Couillard wander onto rue Hébert, looking for the fine architectural details that seem to pop when you pay close attention.
• Turning left on rue des Remparts, take time to Instagram the cannons along the city wall, or admire some of the unique architecture on the houses across the street.

rue sous-le-cap

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Urban Guide Quebec (@urbanguidequebec) on Apr 30, 2019 at 3:39am PDT

As you walk along rue des Remparts the road will fork, stay right. Turn right onto Côte du Colonel Dambourgès, a charming cobbled street. As you reach the bottom of the hill, Sous-le-Cap will be on the right.

Known as the oldest and narrowest street in Quebec City, Sous-le-Cap is a skinny street/alley that runs behind many of the buildings along rue Saint-Paul. In the beginning, the street was nothing more than a dirt track running along the base of Cap Diamant, not far from the banks of the St. Lawrence River (yes, the river was once very close to the cap).

Easily one of our favourite spots on this self-guided tour of Quebec City!

• Wander down rue Sous-le-Cap and Instagram a shot of the wooden staircases and terraces that span across the street.

place-royale

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Urban Guide Quebec (@urbanguidequebec) on May 10, 2019 at 4:08am PDT

Follow rue due Sault au Matelot, turn right onto Côte de la Montagne, then an immediate left on rue Notre Dame. Welcome to Place-Royale. From the beginning of the street, you’ll face La Fresque des Québécois, a fresco mural spanning the side of one of the stone buildings in Place-Royale, which was commissioned for Quebec’s 400th anniversary.

At one end of the square, you’ll see Notre-Dame-des-Victories, one of the oldest churches in Canada — you may recognize it from one of the final scenes shot for the movie Catch Me If You Can with Leonardo DiCaprio. The square is also home to Boutique Métiers d’Art du Québec, a shop selling products made by Québec artists, and the original La Maison Smith café.

• Instagram a shot of the stairs beside La Maison Smith, or find a unique angle to photograph the old stone house.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Urban Guide Quebec (@urbanguidequebec) on Jun 5, 2019 at 2:31am PDT

• Walking through Place-Royale to Quartier Petit-Champlain, walk down the small hill to Cul-de-Sac, from this point you’ll have a unique shot of Petit-Champlain with Château Frontenac standing majestically in the background.
• Wander down rue Sous le Fort (just before Cul-de-Sac) and Instagram the Batterie Royale or some of the fieldstone houses along the street.
• Stand at the corner of rue Notre Dame and rue Sous le Fort for a shot of Petit-Champlain, the funiculaire track rising to the top of Cap Diamant, and a portion of Château Frontenac.
• Take a detour to the Quebec-Levis ferry and ride it across the St Lawrence River (and back) for a classic shot of the Quebec skyline.

petit-champlain

Continue this self-guided tour of Quebec City with a walk along Boulevard Champlain, stopping in Fudgerie for a sweet snack, and photographing the Cul-de-Sac or the boulevard before reaching the stairs leading to the beginning of rue du Petit-Champlain.

One of the oldest neighbourhoods in Quebec City, Petit-Champlain was revitalized in the 1960s (it had, over time, been taken over by warehouses and become a kind of slum) when the city made the decision to restore it to its glory days, making it a tourist destination. Today Quartier Petit-Champlain is a charming neighbourhood filled with boutiques, historically restored houses, and gourmet restaurants.

• Keep your eyes open for pieces of street Banksy-esque street art, or take the classic shot of rue du Petit-Champlain with the stairs of lower in the far distance. There are many Instagram-worthy stops, including Escalier Casse-Cou , the oldest stairs in Quebec City!!

ending point: fairmont château frontenac

1, rue des Carrières

After exploring and Instagramming your way down rue du Petit-Champlain take the funicluaire ($4 CAD) up the cap to Dufferin Terrace. You have now completed this self-guided tour of Quebec City and back at the starting point.

If you’re still up for exploring wander through the inside of Château Frontenac to admire its Great Gatsby-like feeling — we are suckers for royal blue and gold accents. They have a tour as well!

• Feeling hungry? We highly suggest enjoying gourmet poutine or delicious burgers at Le Chic Shack , located just below Musée du Fort.
