Indian summer
Exceptional trip
We took a chance booking through Authentik Canada without knowing anything about the service. We are very happy we did. We knew we wanted to travel to the Quebec region in the fall, but had no idea of exactly where to go outside of the big cities. The Indian Summer itinerary turned out to be perfect for us, including a mix of city and nature experiences. We were especially lucky that we enjoyed a particularly great stretch of warm weather our first week and mild temperatures throughout. Not to mention the glorious fall colors!
The accommodations offered through Authentik were comfortable and convenient. Just about everywhere we stayed recognized was familiar with Authentik and checking in was pretty seamless. So much easier for us than searching around trying to find places to stay on our own. Yet the package was also very flexible allowing us to book a couple of nights on our own when we thought the offerings did not quite suit our needs .
Working with our consultant Marine was very easy. She was extremely professional and responsive. We also liked the app that we downloaded for use on our trip to help us navigate. Small recommendation for other travelers is to have the vouchers supplied by Authentik available at least electronically if not printed. There were a few places where they really came in handy for us (on a ferry and even a couple of hotels).
I would not hesitate to book through Authentik again or refer others.

Indian summer by road
We did a 3 weeks road trip in Quebec starting in September 28th 2022. We had the help from Authentik Canada to design the trip that was very helpful because we dont know where we could find the best indian summer landscapes . The lodges also were well chosen. My wife loved so much Quebec city that could stay there much more days than the 4 nights we stay there…
Itinerary and lodging
Both my husband and I were delighted with the support we received from the staff at Authentic Canada. They developed an extraordinary itinerary for our scheduled trip to Canada and had the ability and expertise to accommodate our request. It seemed as if they personally insured that the itinerary was crafted and implemented for the best desired result to suit us, as their clients.
I definitely will engage them for our future trips to Canada.

A wonderful and unforgettable trip!
(Translated by Google) My dream of discovering Quebec during Indian summer came true this year. Thanks to excellent trip planning by Émilie Boivin, I was able to discover several regions of Quebec in 14 days (Bas-Saint-Laurent; Pointe-du-Bic; Tadoussac, Saguenay Fjord, Charlevoix, Mauricie and Mont-Tremblant). In general, I stayed two nights in the same accommodation, which is a good pace. This allowed me to settle in and enjoy the region. The accommodations were of different standards, but I always felt good and welcomed. All the material conditions were there for me to fully enjoy the splendid landscapes at this time of year. Towards the end of the trip, Saguenay and Mont-Tremblant, the colors of the forests were less flamboyant, as there had been quite a bit of wind (and also rain) and many trees had already lost their leaves, but the landscapes were still breathtaking. For technical reasons, I couldn't access the app, but the roadbook was sufficiently precise, well-designed, and therefore a great help. A big thank you to Émilie for the organization and follow-up during the trip.

A top-notch road trip, unforgettable stay
(Translated by Google) All the excursions were very good, a top road trip for an unforgettable stay, but the chosen dates (14.09.24-02.10.24) were a little too early to really see the fall foliage (too hot, climate change). Be careful with the photos of some inns (Mange Grenouille, Jardins Champêtres - even though for this one, the owner was really very nice and welcoming -) they unfortunately don't represent reality.

Dream trip
(Translated by Google) The trip went wonderfully well, everything was smooth, without any stress, and the accommodations lived up to what we had imagined; we couldn't have dreamed of a better road trip! The Authentik Canada app and its roadbook helped us even in areas without network coverage. We recommend it 100%, and thanks again to Danika for organizing the trip!
Exceptional Landscapes and Parks. Very beautiful roads.
(Translated by Google) Indian summer is a magnificent season to visit this beautiful and vast country.
We only had one negative point: Avis, the car rental provider. We had to wait 4 hours to receive our vehicle so the day was ruined.
Otherwise, only happiness.
Perhaps Lake St Jean is not to be done in autumn?
Excellent journey with beautiful discoveries
(Translated by Google) In line with our desires (in addition to the proposed itinerary, we stayed 3 days upon arrival and 1.5 days before departure in Montreal, which nicely complemented our trip) Very good appreciation of the necessary time for travel and visits on site (without stress)
a very diverse and very successful trip
(Translated by Google) We are satisfied with this new trip to Quebec. The Gaspésie tour is a very beautiful route and we congratulate Domaine VALGA in Saint Gabriel de Rimouski for their hospitality. We admired very varied landscapes and visited many national parks, all very different from each other. We will keep wonderful memories.
However, a few downsides regarding our dates: we would have appreciated that for certain destinations, it was specified that it was the end of the season and that we would not be able to benefit from all the usual services.
For example: in Ste Anne des Monts, Auberge La Seigneurie des Monts offers catering in season but it was closed during our visit. Furthermore, at the Aquamer of Carleton-sur-Mer, why weren't breakfasts included? Finally, one last remark concerning the Auberge sur Mer in Notre Dame du Portage: we had a room in the inn above the restaurant, which turned out to be extremely noisy (background music is played at the bar level, which causes permanent discomfort in the poorly or not soundproofed rooms; several customers complained about this!). When a customer wants peace and quiet, why doesn't the inn give them a room in the more remote part of the inn?
Overall, these are only minor snags and we are very satisfied with this trip.

Beautiful Quebec
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful getaway along a part of the St. Lawrence. The colorful landscapes at this time of year, the whales at Tadoussac, the diversity of accommodations, the variety of extras at each stage, all perfectly organized and synchronized. Authentic Canada = true professionals! Bravo!
Traveling in Gaspesie
(Translated by Google) Beautiful trip in Gaspesie. The accommodations chosen by Émilie were unusual and comfortable. Well done for the accommodations.
The road trip was too packed, some places would have deserved one more night, particularly with accommodations in the parks or closer to the parks, especially for Gaspesie and Forillon Parks. Too much driving before arriving at the park and too short to really hike.
[...]
Autumnal discovery
(Translated by Google) The itinerary offered by Authentic is very good, we discovered beautiful landscapes and the distances were reasonable considering the size of Quebec. Everything was well booked and we didn't have to struggle. The hotels in the Charlevoix area were basic, this point should be reviewed. This trip will remain in our memories as a very beautiful discovery of Quebec. [...]
Great!
(Translated by Google) What a lovely surprise! The itinerary that Véronique prepared for us was perfect, very beautiful. We left from September 16th to October 4th and we were able to admire the landscapes in their beautiful autumn colors. The various accommodations were almost all good! Only one really disappointed us, the Hotel du Jardin in Quebec City. We also left them a comment on Google. Otherwise, everything went well, a big thank you to Véronique from Authentik Canada who gave us very good advice and who knew how to guide us so that our trip was exceptional!

Unforgettable
(Translated by Google) We rediscovered respect and friendliness in QUEBEC and it felt really good!!!! with a special mention for the number and cleanliness of public places (toilets) compared to our country.
Thanks to Marine and Marion for suggesting and accompanying us on this road trip from September 13th to 28th, 2024, which allowed us to discover magnificent places and activities beyond our imagination.
From Parc OMEGA to the CIMES trails of Île aux Lièvres, to Auberge VALGA, its magnificent lakeside setting and endless multicolored maple trees, the black bear safari (unmissable, magical),
passing by the sugar shack in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc (a passionate couple).
Guided and personalized tours of Montreal and Quebec City.
The accommodations were perfect, except for our small room at Auberge Le Bôme with only a skylight as an outside opening (room 41). Fortunately, the unexpected breakfast and the owner's welcome brought a smile back to our faces!!!
The roadbook is very comprehensive, and by supplementing it with the Routard guide, we were able to refine our very full trip.
2300km by car (fortunately with GPS - essential!!) and more than 100km on foot...
Authentik Canada's reputation is well-deserved - Bravo -

wilderness
(Translated by Google) We had a very good stay, the different places were magnificent, a few small downsides and remarks that did not impact our stay but are still worth mentioning such as:
*Labelle suites, parking very complicated and not much help from the staff, neighborhood a little worrying if you are staying for a long time.
*Auberge du Lac, nothing to say, excellent, super welcoming staff, great breakfast, beautiful setting
*C3 Hotel, a lot to say and review for your next customers, unfriendly staff, lots of stairs for suitcases not practical, room not very clean, surprise withdrawal of a weekend tax of 20$ CAD+ths/night per person and if this shocks us, see with you
*Auberge de la Pointe, magnificent, very welcoming staff, perfect room, well located near the lake, perfect breakfast, really recommend to your future clients
*Auberge des Iles du Bic, lots of stairs, authentic owner, perfect breakfast, but not recommended for families with children because of many recommendations from the owner about noise (old wooden house) one night is ok but more not at all.
*Ferme 5 Etoiles Condo, very cold staff, a lot of out of order appliances, room cleaning needs to be reviewed, room change from 11am to 4pm you have to stick to this time because there is nothing to do, rooms taken back at 4pm with a very long distance from each other while we are a family, however the quad biking was excellent, Félix our guide was great,
*Aux Portes du Soleil, very good for one night, very clean room, very welcoming owner,
Apart from all these details the sites were magnificent, the Canadians super nice, lots of advice on places to see, the weather perfect except in Mauricie unfortunately where it was a rainy day.

Indian summer
(Translated by Google) This road trip met all our expectations. The colors of Indian summer were there. The bear safari is an exceptional experience. The Valga estate remains an essential stopover.
Unforgettable
(Translated by Google) A road trip to Quebec that will remain engraved in our memories, with these incredible landscapes, superb meetings with Quebecers and superb activities (helicopter at Mont Tremblant, seaplane over Mauricie and whales in Tadoussac...) with an organization at the top who knows how to handle the slightest problem on site.
Completely satisfied
(Translated by Google) We were well advised from our first contact. Our wishes were taken into account with kindness. The services offered and the services provided are of high quality.
What a great adventure!
(Translated by Google) We spent 5 wonderful weeks in Quebec on a roadtrip masterfully organized by Authentik Canada. Everything was perfect: our car (a Toyota Camry), the very diverse accommodation and always of the expected standard, as well as the activities booked in advance: a special thought for the seaplane flight, the black bear safari, our dinner on the roof of old Quebec or even and above all the emotion of having seen the whales so closely in Tadoussac
Thanks to Alyssa and Maxim for this perfect organization

BEAUTIFUL ITINERARY
(Translated by Google) We are satisfied with our itinerary and our trip, with only one regret: not having stayed two or three days more for Lac St Jean and enjoying more of Quebec which deserves a guided tour the moment was ideal to enjoy the beautiful colors of the Indian summer we didn't feel cold at all, the forests are magnificent
Perfect road trip!
(Translated by Google) We wanted to see the Indian summer, we got it, in every sense of the word (we enjoyed exceptional temperatures for the season). The magnificent colors were there: a real enchantment.
The combined stay was perfect (we did variations), the activities very appreciated. And what a pleasure to follow the program without having to worry about reservations!
We plan to return to Quebec very soon, this time in winter... and of course with Authentik Canada.

Tour in Quebec
(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to fall in the middle of the Indian summer, and Quebec offered us its most beautiful finery! Shimmering colors, forests and lakes in abundance and as far as the eye can see, we will be amazed! The tour put together by Authentik Canada was really great, and it was very pleasant to sleep in different establishments. We particularly enjoyed sleeping in the lodges, which offer all the comfort, but above all a particularly warm welcome from the hosts who take great care of their visitors. It was a total change of scenery and we had a blast. [...]
Indian summer with summer weather
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful journey through several regions, magnificent landscapes and an unrivaled welcome from our "cousins"
Good performance
(Translated by Google) We enjoyed our Indian Summer trip to Quebec from Montreal to Bic in Quebec, the advice and responsiveness of Authentik were good, the hotels/hostels/lodges were varied and good quality, the pace suited us well with breaks or moments free, the guides were of good quality for visiting Montreal and especially Quebec. We didn’t find the sensations of Western Canada with excessive nature but the colors in the Hautes gorges de la rivière Malbaie park were incredible! [...]
Fall, the best season to visit Quebec
(Translated by Google) A very nice trip, quite complete on all that Quebec autumn can bring.
The hotels were all very good.
I particularly appreciated the fact of being able to organize the trip myself by choosing the hotels and adding or deleting days and destinations. The guide was also very practical even if it was not necessarily suitable for a trip in the fall.
[...]
Have a great vacation in Quebec!
(Translated by Google) Our roadtrip was a success. He was well prepared, the stay well organized and our contact Alyssa was always there to listen to us.
This trip allowed us to discover a part of Quebec, both the city and the more remote and wild corners.
We will not hesitate to use the service of AUTHENTIC during a next trip in the future.
successful indian summer
(Translated by Google) Trip as expected. The colors were present and the weather very mild overall.
No problem with accommodation, very warm welcome. Authentik Canada adapted the basic circuit well to our wishes, which allowed us to take our time between the different stages, which can be long for some.
The excursions offered (bears, seaplane, beavers and whales) are very good. Complete and very appreciable roadbook.
Only downside, the car rental: Thrifty was really not up to expectations, knowing that the price doubled between the trip scheduled and canceled in 2020 and the one made in 2022!!!
[...]
indian summer with family
(Translated by Google) Our trip was incredible from A to Z, we benefited from a spectacular chance with the weather to discover the autumn colors present!
Great landscapes!
(Translated by Google) A trip delayed twice (2020 and 2021) because of the Covid epidemics, but Authentik Canada was able to reschedule it and redo all the reservations and advise as best as possible for it to take place. Very well programmed, a wise choice for accommodation, a very useful roadbook.
In short, happy to have made this trip with Authentik Canada
Everything was perfect
(Translated by Google) Perfect organized trip. Ideal period. Very friendly Canadian welcome.
