Indian summer
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.
fully satisfied
beautiful indian summer
(Translated by Google) Our stay was a great success. The accommodations, mainly in hostels, were very good.. special mention for the inn under the pines with succulent meals, as well as the inn of the Tower and Spa.. very welcoming hosts and good advice. The good weather was present for almost all of our stay with even 20°c at the end. The flamboyant colors were also part of it. What a wonder this nature is so colorful.. Thanks to Daphné for her impeccable work.. only small downside was the company Trifty who did not want to reimburse a puncture repaired at our expense.. for the rest, everything was perfect. [...]
Very nice trip
(Translated by Google) Quebec in the fall was a dream that we were able to achieve this year and we were not disappointed. The circuit planned by Authentik Canada was perfect. We were happy with the length of our stay because at first we wondered if we hadn't arrived too early and if we would see the colors of autumn. In 15 days, we could see the evolution. We did many stages and regretted not having been able to spend more time in some (Example: Mauricie or the Charlevoix region). [...]
Unforgettable
(Translated by Google) Road trip personalized according to our desires our budget and above all completely adapted for a first long trip with a 7 month old baby. Thanks to Marie Ève for these beautiful memories. I will go back to Authentik Canada with my eyes closed. With a local agency the advantage is that once there they are even more easily reachable.
Very nice trip to Quebec
(Translated by Google) Thank you for this road trip of the Indians which made us discover Quebec in the fall. The days are well balanced, the distances reasonable and the hotels of good standard.
Trip faithful to the program, friendly welcome
(Translated by Google) Our favorites: Mont Tremblant (hiking and swimming in Lake Monroe thanks to the superb weather) and Quebec. Accommodation: the 2 gîtes (the old school and the Domaine du Perchoir) with their great breakfasts, warm welcome and good advice. Special mention for the Jimmy lakes outfitter: quiet cabin by the lake with unlimited wood for the stove and the possibility of kayaking and pedal boating. Nice welcome in Orford at the winegrower's.
Cons: the Eastern Townships (but it may not have been the right season, cold and wet).
Surprising: the rooms of the Domaine du Perchoir, I advise people to go to the site of the gîte because the Shérazade room is very rococo.
Downside: the lower bedroom of the Domaine du Perchoir: small maintenance of the sanitary facilities to be reviewed. And hotel Cheribourg Orford, room 223 with rickety door difficult to close.
Advice to add to the roadbook: there is almost no free hiking, the land is very often private and therefore either prohibited or paying. We wanted to approach the edge of the St Laurent to see the whales, not free. Sepaq national parks are payable per person, it is well noted in the roadbook but you should give the subscription price which can be valid if you do several parks, we learned this in the 3rd, so too late for it to be worth it. It is an important element to specify because in France all the hikes are free.
To be precise: to cross the Saguenay to Tadoussac we take a free ferry which passes every 20 minutes with sometimes long waiting times, at 9am on 09/19 there was no queue. Timetables available on the site, it would be good to note this precision in the roadbook.
In all 2400 km without incident, the distribution of the number of nights is correct.
Thanks to authentic Canada, thanks to whom we had a good overview of Quebec.

Unforgettable trip
(Translated by Google) Top travel organization, which allowed us to see lots of different things and to discover this beautiful country.
Authenhik team available, pleasant and full of very good advice.
Stay in Quebec
(Translated by Google) Very nice trip
Roadtrip in Quebec at the top
(Translated by Google) We spent 15 days in Quebec with a change of location every 2 days. The accommodations were of good quality, the stages selected were relevant in terms of tourist activities and interests. However, you have to like to take the road and do the kms. But it's worth it. The variety of landscapes, activities (quad biking, whale watching, swimming, hiking, kayaking, paddle, etc.), you won't get bored.
The legend about Quebec hospitality is confirmed!

Indian summer in Canada: dream trip
(Translated by Google) Marie-Andrée, representative of Authentik Canada, was of great help in preparing for this long-awaited trip (because postponed due to COVID). She was receptive to all our requests, even last minute ones.
Lots of kms (the 3 days in the car in a row are tough): but no regrets.
The different accommodations were well chosen: 4-star hotel, rental condos, homestays... A big ++++++++ for the Natakam condos overlooking the Saint Lawrence. And a warm welcome in the Gîte de la Vieille Ecole by John and Daniel. The hotel in Toronto was a little too big and therefore impersonal for my taste and far from Niagara Falls but in the heart of the city. An extra night in Ottawa would not have bothered me. And I would have preferred to stay in Kingston on the return trip between Toronto and Montreal.
The Road Book is great: I carried it everywhere in my backpack!!! He gives a lot of information on leisure and restaurants.
Very big crush on the whale cruise.
In short, everything was great. I recommend eyes closed.

Great trip to Canada
(Translated by Google) We greatly appreciated the help of Marie André who helped us to make this trip by adapting to our desires.
A wonderful honeymoon
(Translated by Google) Hello,
for our honeymoon we did "Indian summer" and it was simply amazing! We really found what we were looking for, the change of scenery, the colors of autumn and unique experiences! Personally, I'm not used to encountering whales or black bears and the accommodations were really high quality and each one had its little thing that makes it special.
Obviously, we are going there to find this spirit of New France and Quebec has been able to preserve this, especially with its French.
You have to go to Canada for its nature, this feeling of being a pioneer in the middle of this immense space, but also for its simply sublime city of Quebec with a great history.
To see all this, you have to drive and we are a little frustrated not to stay longer in the places we like more, but it is clearly an excuse for us to come back one day and appreciate it more. this province... Or even to go West and discover another face of Canada.
In any case, we hope to come back!
