O Canada
Great Holiday
Enjoyed our time
Very beautiful road trip
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful Ontario-Quebec road trip, from Niagara Falls to the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. You shouldn't be afraid of the kilometers, but how could you miss the beauty of Niagara Falls, the Saguenay Fjord, or the big cities? A very pleasant city/nature stay and beautiful memories.
Our Canadian Road Trips
(Translated by Google) We used Authentik Canada to organize our first trip to Canada. Everything was perfect. We had no problems with the hotels booked or with the car rental. We loved sea kayaking and the Canadian Museum is very interesting. A little disappointed with the whale watching cruise because we only saw one and from very far away, but you can't control nature! However, we did see some very beautiful scenery. A big thank you to Marika who took care of us. Always attentive and with good advice. We will not hesitate to use them for a future trip :)

A very beautiful trip
(Translated by Google) It was our second trip with Authentik Canada. We were able to combine big cities (Montreal, Toronto), major sites (Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands) and regional/national parks (Mauricie, Mont Tremblant, Lanaudière)... We were also able to incorporate "off" days at our Canadian cousins' homes! In short, it was tailor-made! Danika gave us good advice during the preparation despite the very short timeframe (1 month) and very good support on-site (problem with Avis for example). A big thank you to her!

Unforgettable family road trip
(Translated by Google) Our advisor, Marika, was responsive and adaptable in meeting our wishes regarding the stages and duration of our stay. The choices of hotels and other chalets allowed us to appreciate different styles of hospitality according to the various environments. A great discovery!! The activities recommended and booked by her were very much to our liking. Only downside, the rental of a 7-passenger minivan from Thrifty: unavailability of the expected vehicle replaced by a 7-seater SUV with less comfort for the passenger on the additional seats over long distances - 3000 km. Recommendation: For vehicle rentals, inform customers on the voucher of the services included or not, such as the $50 fee claimed by the rental company upon drop-off at the airport, even though it was stipulated in the voucher.

Second trip, same experience
(Translated by Google) Nothing to complain about. The road book is incredibly well done, everything is impeccably booked and the restaurant suggestions are always top-notch, as are the points of interest. This was our second trip with Authentik and I can only confirm my first experience: it's perfect.
A beautiful and grand custom-made adventure
(Translated by Google) In addition to the previous notice
Successful family trip.
(Translated by Google) Our trip went very well, no bad surprises with the reservations or the selected outings, the hotels were very well located with great services. Alyssa is attentive and very responsive in case of problems or changes. I recommend Authentik Canada for organizing your holidays with complete peace of mind.
Great road trip
A very beautiful trip
(Translated by Google) Hotels always very well chosen, only small downside, while breakfasts were served in the establishment, we were not able to have them in the reservation at each stage. Each stage had a particular charm, the chosen excursions very well organized and the perfect welcome each time. Very good follow-up of the file by the Authentik Canada team. Thank you for this great experience [...]
Perfectly organized trip despite some hotel problems
(Translated by Google) Five days in New York are a minimum, the visit to the major Canadian cities, Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa and Toronto is essential and deserves the support of a local guide. However, visiting the parks between Quebec and Ottawa (9 days for us) can seem boring because it is repetitive. Be careful to request and check your hotel bills before each check-out, it is essential because we have had some setbacks with overbilling which Authentik is in the process of resolving. We booked a local guide in each major city and they showed us places we wouldn't have visited on our own. The seaplane flight over the lakes and forest is a real experience to be had. When we moved to the English-speaking area, from Ottawa, we encountered exchange difficulties because English-speaking Canadians are resistant to French and make no effort to understand us or express themselves, it is a very unpleasant situation. even in a hotel of a French group, the Novotel of the Accor group in Toronto. [...]
Good services, but beware of declining quality
(Translated by Google) Very satisfied overall. Effective communication with our contacts.
However, here are some points to improve:
- Several changes of hotel or activity announced after payment, and choice of alternative to be made quickly.
- Several hotel reservations included a double room but with separate beds.
- Hotel Holiday Inn (Mont Tremblant), and Baie St Paul: service and standard below expectations.
- Guide absent from the meeting to visit Ottawa. Dubious rationale. Refund promised, but not yet received.
- Be careful with the "congestions" around Toronto and Montreal. We almost missed an activity, and the return to the airport for departure was very stressful. We should warn of the risk.
We used Authentik Canada for our first trip in 2007, the trip was better prepared and more satisfying.

Very nice trip
An unforgettable family trip, a very successful escape
(Translated by Google) We enjoyed the whole trip which allowed us to visit the big cities (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec) but also the great natural spaces and the smaller towns and villages.
The Laurentians and the helicopter flight over Mont Tremblant, Parc Omega +++, guided tours of towns, outfitters +++, from Niagara Falls to the whale watching cruise +++ and those in the thousand islands +++, everything was on top.
The small downside concerns the two-day stay in Orford...with less interest.

Our second trip to Canada after the one in 2019 - see you soon
(Translated by Google) We will be back for sure
An unforgettable experience
(Translated by Google) Very good stay.
It allowed us to see different facets of Eastern Canada between large American city, mountain village, lake, countryside, forest, natural park.
Hotels very well chosen and close to the main points of interest.
Awesome !
(Translated by Google) Everything went very well; From pick-up at the airport to handing over the keys to the car. we do not regret any of our choice of activities. We had a blast rafting, the cruise of the thousand islands was very pleasant, we were lucky enough to see whales in Les Escoumins. The road book is super complete, it helped us a lot in choosing our activities and meals. My only small regret is that we didn't stay a little more than 2 days out of the 15 days in the Eastern Townships. [...]
we were enchanted by this trip
(Translated by Google) We were delighted with our trip, which went superbly, and we were particularly spoiled by the weather.
Everything went perfectly with
- varied days (nature, cities, tourist sites)
- varied and very successful activities, all the reservations were perfect, the timing impeccable (city tours, cruises (Niagara, the whales, the thousand islands), zip lines, quad and seaplane.
- perfect accommodations, especially for the cottages that we prefer with a special crush on the Auberge du Cozy towards Mont Tremblant and for the hotels, the Mariott in Niagara and the Nakatam condo in Les Escoumins which are ideally located
We returned enchanted.
We have added an activity not offered by Authentik Canada which is really great: A 4-hour tour of Montreal by electric bike which allowed us to climb Mount Royal and visit very diverse neighborhoods (old Montreal, the city and its skyscrapers -sky and cultural places, the St Louis district ....) which would not have been possible on foot.

Comments on our trip O CANADA
(Translated by Google) We are generally very satisfied with the services provided, no difficulty with the various reservations, all the vouchers have been accepted, the guides punctual and competent.
Only one problem with the car rental which had to be changed on the second day following a tire pressure problem. Fortunately, this did not impact our program.
In Toronto, the Holiday Inn hotel is located in a street under construction and therefore we struggled to find parking, the hotelier should let you know so that customers are informed.
The reception which seemed to us the least sympathetic was that of the Chéribourg hotel in Magog,
One last detail about the Manoir Victoria hostel in Quebec which is accessible by a fairly steep staircase, and therefore unless we are mistaken, inaccessible to people with reduced mobility, which is fortunately not our case.
A particularly favorable review of the Auberge de la Muse in Baie St Paul for its charm and hospitality and also of the Comfort Inn & Suites Thousand Islands Harbor District
One last detail, the restaurants are in high demand and very early in the evening, so you have to have the reflex to book. .

First week happy, second week too many Kilometers
(Translated by Google) Mixed, first part with Montreal, Mont Tremblant, Omega Animal Park, Ottawa, Toronto (buildings) was consistent with the description of the road book.
Second part, Niagara Falls (day and night a show and the cruise too), then a lot of kilometers to go to reach the activities and accommodations. In Baie Saint Paul 3 times trips to activities (cruise of the high gorges "cancelled following the wind and in addition was only done on weekends and public holidays since September 1st)???? return to hotel, again the next day to redo the same road for Tadoussac (1 whale) back to the hotel, next day again part of the same road for the brown bear safari (magnificent) to then hit a lot of kilometers to get to Quebec (magnificent )
In short, a little disappointed for the second week given the too long trips via the highways.
[...]
Wonderful 1st experience
(Translated by Google) All in all a superb experience. Very satisfying activities, in particular the guides Michel in Montreal and Philippe in Ottawa for their extremely interesting visits. Special mention to our accommodation north of Tadoussac, one of the most beautiful places we have had the chance to go.
Small flat for our first Best Western hotel in Montreal, very noisy.
[...]
Family road trip from Tadoussac to Niagara falls of 3200 kms
(Translated by Google) We were well accompanied by Maryse for the organization of our trip during an email exchange and during 2 vision-conferences.
The trip went perfectly and we come back with images in our heads.
We really enjoyed the great landscapes, national parks and animals in the wild.
However, the large distances between each stage did not allow us to take more time on the secondary roads. If we had to do it again, we would do fewer kilometers and a few fewer stages. The almost daily change of hotel turned out to be tiring.
[...]
A beautiful Canadian parenthesis
(Translated by Google) We have just returned from Canada after 15 days of Roadtrip, Tanya who works for Authentik Canada played her role perfectly, she was always very responsive and we were able to count on her at every moment of the development of our stay, just like on site when we had a little problem with the car rental company...Thank you Tanya!
We really liked the cities of Ottawa and Quebec as well as the parks of Mont Tremblant and the Hautes Gorges de la rivière Malbaie.

Extraordinary trip!
(Translated by Google) Planning this trip and making it happen was a real treat! The roadbook allows you to target the things to do, between the proposals and the map of the cities with the locations of the proposals. Great trip, thank you for everything!!
Wonderful trip
(Translated by Google) A crossing of part of Canada in 2 weeks. Magnificent landscapes as far as the eye can see. Excellent family experience despite the number of kilometers we had pleasant weather.
Authentik, our dream director!
(Translated by Google) This is the second trip to Canada that we have made with Authentik Canada, and once again we are delighted!
After visiting Quebec in 2017, we discovered Ontario in 2019.
Our advisor was very attentive and very responsive in terms of managing our requirements. Very good time management, excellent advice, the road book is very well done.
The hotels are always well located, and if there is any problem, there is someone on the phone to find a solution.
In short, for us everything is perfect!
Our next dream is a road trip on the West Coast of the United States, and we will definitely call on Authentik!

great trip!
(Translated by Google) top organization, caring advisor and very good advice... hyper available. Thank you Andrea!
Perfect hotels, car, GPS, nothing to complain about.... to do again!
Stunning
(Translated by Google) A very good organization, a great itinerary, great memories!
I recommend ????
We have known Canada in its diversity between Quebec and Ontario
(Translated by Google) We did the route the right way considering the climate.
In the Eastern Township, the murals of Sherbrooke are worth a 3-hour visit on foot
Plan a substantial budget for parking and tips.
A team of professionals
(Translated by Google) Kudos to you for your professionalism
Thanks to you our trip went smoothly from start to finish.
A special thought to our advisor Casandra who managed our requests to make us a perfect trip according to our desire.
