Gaspesie road trip
Very nice trip
(Translated by Google) We particularly liked the different sites and the accommodations were good.
It would be nicer to have breakfast included with each accommodation.
Picking up the rental car at the airport is a big hassle. An endless queue of more than 2 hours and once the formalities were done we waited another 30 minutes because no cars were available. 4 years ago we had a rental car outside the airport 5 minutes by bus and we didn't have to wait, it was much better even though it wasn't on site. After a long flight and the significant time difference it was a little complicated to manage this very long wait.
Otherwise superb trip, no problem with the accommodation, everything was perfect, thank you for the organization.

Alright
(Translated by Google) the Montreal-Quebec stage is not justified. The best would have been to start the trip in Quebec and end in Quebec
A very beautiful trip
(Translated by Google) First of all I would like to thank authentick canada and especially Tanya for the professionalism and kindness she offered us. We were 4 travelers and all are of the same opinion. Everything was perfect. The circuit, the accommodation, the car, and the roadbook which was extremely useful to us. Without forgetting the kindness of Quebecers. So I will not hesitate to call on this agency if I plan another trip. [...]
An unforgettable trip to Gaspésie
(Translated by Google) For our first roadtrip, I called on AUTHENTIK, already to reassure myself and let them manage all the reservations for our stay. It was a very positive experience but still required a lot of personal preparation. AUTHENTIK has the merit of always being present if we have any questions before leaving or a problem on site and that is very reassuring. The choices of accommodation and the activities offered are all very good and there is plenty to choose from: all you have to do is make your choice.
The same goes for car rental, and I haven't found it cheaper elsewhere with identical services, so very competitive.
As for the beautiful creation of the roadbook, it is still a little expensive (but essential for those who cannot print); I tried and I hoped to find some additional documents there like the brochures of the maps of the cities of Montreal and Quebec for example...it's a shame, however it has the merit of making a beautiful travel souvenir.

A beautiful trip.
(Translated by Google) Our trip to Gaspesie went well, with no unpleasant surprises and a always pleasant welcome. We enjoyed the Riotel de Perce and the mini-cruise to Bonaventure Island. The inn under the trees in Gaspe is full of charm but you have to go down and bring your suitcases up because the hotel is on floors. At the Auberge de la Pointe the bed for 2 people was not wide enough.
In summary, we made some great discoveries and a great trip.

very nice discovery of Gaspésie
(Translated by Google) a very beautiful region of Canada with lots of forests, water with the St Laurent, the rivers and the bay of heats; the colorful houses and their mowed lawns along the roads, villages like Kamouraska, hikes in the parks of Gaspésie and Forillon, the superb view from Percé, the cruise to and on the island of Bonaventure, Tadoussac and the whale watching cruise, Sainte Anne de Beaupré, Quebec...
we enjoyed this stay

a wonderful trip
(Translated by Google) A trip that will remain etched in our memories. The choice of course by Authentik Canada delighted us. The hotels offered were each time close to interesting places and very satisfactory.
The only downside is the number of kilometers but that was expected.
Perfect organization, stay that exceeded our expectations.
(Translated by Google) We are delighted with our trip. It even exceeded our expectations, that is to say. And we did well to persevere, after 2 cancellations in 2020 and 2021!
Everything was great and well organized. The driving time by car was suitable, with often little road one day, more the next day, and that was fine with us. It was also a good idea to sometimes stay 2 nights in the same place, so as not to always be packing and unpacking.
The experience on the lighthouse (from the Pot à l'Eau-de-Vie) was extraordinary, as was the sea kayaking at sunset (at Cap-aux-Os, with sightings of multiple seals in the immediate vicinity of the boat), the black bear safari (at the Domaine le Pic-Bois), the Saint-Antoine inn (labeled Relais & Châteaux) in Quebec and the hike on Mont Jacques-Cartier in the Gaspésie park (40 km of car on a track in the middle of forests and...More
In terms of accommodation, we did not like the room at the Valga estate (an entire chalet would perhaps have been preferable, but the activities on the site are top-notch (acrobranch and kayaking on the lake)) and the 5-star Condo Ferme.
Thanks to Véronique, our coordinator, for having intervened very quickly during the only hitch of our 18 days of travel (a reservation at the fisherman's house in Percé which seemed not to have been duly noted).
In the end we were able to see bears, caribou, moose, deer/deer, foxes, seals, porcupines, all in the wild, at the bend of a trail or a road.

SUPERB TRIP
(Translated by Google) Despite a chaotic start to the trip with the pick-up of the car which was not the one we had rented, it was a very nice trip, much anticipated because we were to do it in August 2020! We did a lot of kilometers but the trip was balanced in terms of driving day and rest day. Not to be missed: Gaspésie, whale watching in a zodiac, bear watching, the Saguenay Fjord and Quebec City. Lots of steps, animal watching: short nature trip. Thanks to Authentik Canada, welcoming Quebecers. [...]
Trip perfectly meeting our expectations in relation to the quote
(Translated by Google) Contacts with Maxim made it possible to establish a program and an estimate which proved to meet our expectations.
the circuit allowed us to discover this part of Canada that we did not know. Only a crossing further east would have avoided a round trip to Trois Pistoles, but we didn't think of that during our discussions.
Well done!
Cordially

Gaspésie by electric car is possible
(Translated by Google) We really loved this trip to Quebec. An exceptional nature and this majestic Saint Laurent but also the sympathy of Quebecers.
Our favorite stopovers, without hesitation, are Domaine Valga in the middle of the forest and the warm welcome of Eric and his family: beautiful evenings at the brazier!
the Natakam Condos on the banks of the river with parades of porpoises and rorquals a few tens of meters away.
Percé and Bonaventure Island with its Northern Gannet colony
Forillon Park and its walks
Without forgetting the cities of Quebec and Montreal
What happiness
A little word also for our correspondent Marie Michele, for her wise advice during the trip, quick answers and above all her sympathy

Excellent
(Translated by Google) Busy program, but recommended for those who want a full experience.
On arrival at the airport, it would be useful to specify the means of reaching the hotel in Montreal (Taxi, shuttle, etc.)
Basically well organized trip apart from two hotels.
(Translated by Google) We were very satisfied with the proposed program. It is well balanced. The documentation (roadbook) is a very good working tool. The choices of activities are numerous and excellent. On the other hand, the AVIS rental company is not correct. She uses all means to extort supplements. It's unpleasant. As for the hotels, two are not recommendable. Hotel le Roberval, our rooms were not reserved. After discussion with Authentik Canada and the hotel, we inherited huge, uncomfortable rooms. The second hotel not to recommend is the Auberge des 21. Supposedly, we were entitled to a breakfast. We received them the day before in a bag with products (see photo) not worthy of a breakfast. We had to take it to our room. No coffee in the room. Deplorable reception. On the other hand , the Domaine Valga is the friendliest hotel . What a welcome, what kindness, excellent food.
Another problem encountered is finding open restaurants. Many were closed.
In summary, very good trip, good service from Authentic Canada but accommodation to improve in terms of reception or services.

perfect trip but very tiring
(Translated by Google) three remarks:
Why do the Canadian authorities want to discourage people with no computer skills from traveling to Canada?
When we arrived in Canada, you chose a hotel in the center of Montreal: it took us 3 hours to get there because of work in the area, we were too tired to go eat or visit Montreal. The next day we took 2 hours to leave Montreal. It would have been better to choose a hotel near the airport or outside Montreal.
September 15, route Parc de la Gaspésie Tadoussac: the Auberge de la Seigneurie des monts in Saint-Anne-des monts is perfect and the host of the most charming and efficient; however, we had to get up at 5 am to be able to reach the Ferry pier 30 minutes before the departure of the latter, one night in the Inn would have been enough and one night in a hotel in Matane would have been preferable.
Apart from that all the hotels, lodges and other accommodations were perfect.

Authentik disappointed me on THIS trip…
(Translated by Google) After two top trips with Authentik, this third one really upset me, and in the end I just booked with the agency the start of my trip in order to use my "2020 pre-covid" credit and for the rest I managed by myself.
In my opinion, Authentik has lost a lot in quality since covid. I was super happy with my adviser for the first trip (2018) but for the second (2019) I had to change because the first had changed jobs, that said, this new adviser was on top too, but in the end I had to change for my 3rd trip (2020 postponed to 2022) because she too had changed jobs. And sorry but my advisor for this third trip clearly annoyed me, maybe she should change jobs if she doesn't like it. Sorry for this not very positive opinion, I'm probably just a "cursed Frenchman" but in any case I'm no longer a client of the agency.

Superb trip
(Translated by Google) An exceptional trip with the discovery of exceptional parks
A special mention for the Valga outfitter, an exceptional place in the middle of nature, we would like to stay there longer
In short, a trip to redo
Road trip in Gaspésie
(Translated by Google) Flawless organization: We take advantage of every moment of the visit to this beautiful region without worrying about logistics. The hotels are all good and even different (from the cottage to the spa hotel) and the Canadians are all very welcoming. It's just 15 days of wonderful vacation along the St. Lawrence and the Atlantic with the weather on our side, taking advantage of the countless parks in the region. The only small regret is that we did not have the possibility of taking a sea view option in Percé: The hotel "La Normandie" is superbly well placed in front of the percé rock and we had a view of the car park. The other options offered were up to the rest of the trip, especially the "lobster" dinner. Everything was perfect and helped make a dream trip come true. Thanks [...]
very good organization, great!!!!
(Translated by Google) Our trip went very well, rental car exceeded our request, no additional costs, quick Canadian checks (everything prepared online before leaving).
The driving was stressful at first but we adapted: we forgot the French reflexes.
Accommodation: superior hotels to our usual travel, the one we preferred is: DOMAINE VALGA
We felt the soul of canada and the owners very close to the customers.

Achievement of the Grand Seduction
(Translated by Google) It was therefore our 3rd Road Trip with Authentik, and everything went very well because everything that was reserved was honored. Like the previous two times. We have therefore never been disappointed by Authentik!
Let's start with what we really liked, in no order of preference:
The Auberge de la Pointe and its restaurant as well as the breathtaking view of the Saint Laurent and its sunset.
Domaine Valga and its Hosts, warm, friendly and professional. Sports and relaxation activities, tree climbing and canoeing. And despite the sanitary conditions, the meals are still excellent and convivial.
The "tadoussac" stage with 1 very nice surprise: the Natakam condos with a magnificent view of the Saint Laurent and passages of Beluga and Whales morning and evening....and this at 1 calm. The whale watching excursion is still great.
The Mont Albert cottage in the heart of the park, it was our 2nd time and it is still so magical! The restaurant is still excellent.
The descent of the Bonaventure river: excellent organization and essential activity.
And what about Rocher Percé and hiking on Bonaventure Island: magnificent landscapes!
Then, what we liked: Quebec and Montreal. The hotels were well placed and met our expectations.
Some negative points but which remain details:
At the Riotel Bonaventure, the rooms are cramped for 4 adults, but the view is magnificent and the breakfast was excellent.
Gaspé remains a sleeping stage (not having been able to do the kayak, the fault of the weather) because we did not have time to go to Forillon Park.
Our assessment is therefore more than positive, with images and good times in mind.
Of course, our next trip....why not next year but during the Indian summer....will be with Authentik Canada.

Excellent experience
(Translated by Google) We are more than delighted with our first trip to Quebec, organized by Authentik Canada and in particular Emilie Boivin, from the reservation/organization process to the completion of this one. Whether it was hotel/ferry/activities reservations, there was no hitch.
Thank you!
top!
(Translated by Google) Nothing to complain about, the organization was top notch. Entry into the hotel is very easy. Thanks again!
Very nice trip!
(Translated by Google) We have just returned from a very nice trip to Gaspésie, great organization, thank you Authentik Canada!
A small detail, we got the wrong day to perform the service on the island of Orleans and in our opinion, we would have had trouble making the Tadoussac / Quebec transfer (+ 3 hours drive with a ferry!) with the bike the same day!
Thank you to the rental company who found us an even nicer alternative with the scooter rental. great service to offer to your customers!
Thanks to the whole team

Satisfied
A dream come true
Great discovery of Gaspésie with the family
(Translated by Google) We had an amazing stay with our two daughters aged 6 and 9. Incredible landscapes, full of animal sights. Places still preserved from mass tourism. The road trip combining discovery and rest.
The splendours of Gaspésie
(Translated by Google) We had the chance to take a wonderful road trip in Gaspésie, which allowed us to discover the country outside the big cities and to admire unforgettable landscape paintings. The travel guide, information and assistance provided by Authentik were valuable and knowledgeable travel companions, which allowed us to end our stay very serenely.
Even our Canadian families and friends were impressed by the quality and know-how of the Authentik team!
We did the family trip with our teenagers (16 and 19), and everyone came out with stars in their eyes.
A big thank you to Authentik for this great experience.

Memorable stay
(Translated by Google) Country with grandiose landscapes and a very high quality of tourist service despite the shortage of staff in hotels
Excellent advice and help for the trip
(Translated by Google) We received valuable advice adapted to our situation.
Availability of the team at the top and excellent responsiveness.
Stay in Gaspésie
(Translated by Google) A nice trip to Quebec. The hotels of a good standard, magnificent landscapes especially the Bic and Percé park and the kayaking on the St Laurent in Les Escoumins where we were able to see the spectacular whales!!!
We were less thrilled with the Parc de la Gaspésie.., if we had to do it again I would replace it with the Parc du Forillon, which we were unable to visit.
[...]
Very nice trip to Gaspésie.
(Translated by Google) Very well organized trip that allowed us to tour the Gaspé Peninsula.
Reservations (car + hotels) went well although it would have been desirable to have breakfast included each morning.
The total price of the trip is still a little high but we recommend the Gaspé during the summer to all travelers!
Ps: remember to book parking at the hotel in Quebec!
