colorful postcards

(Translated by Google) Journey that allows you to discover very varied landscapes and climates and to better understand the importance of the Saint Lawrence (geography, economy, environment...).

From the Toronto skyline to; the gannet colony of Percé, passing by the Niagara Falls, the serenity; Mille Iles, the joy of spotting whales while having breakfast (at Cap Chat), and the small villages with colorful houses, you spend your time exploring; open your eyes wide in these XXL landscapes.

Traveling around Gaspésie (the size of France) in less than a week is quite a challenge! But it also makes you want to come back!

I really liked
# to be able, upstream, to modify the program according to my desires and needs (we added a 3rd traveler for a few days, lengthened certain stages and reduced others for example); Sophie-Andrée has always been very close listening and reactive.

# travel independently, guided and accompanied:
- by a very well done roadbook on the trip to; browse, and practical details of the places to visit. see, catering suggestions...
- and an envelope that contained all the vouchers (accommodation, activities, ferry crossings): this organization gives a lot of comfort.

No hitch, except for the Matane ferry: above all, keep the voucher when obtaining the boarding pass, and think of go "pay" / give your voucher to checkout once at edge. Nothing is mentioned. on the ferry!
Some instructions added to the roadbook at this topic will be welcome!
The steps to travel allows time to stop and make a few brief detours at will. of our desires. With the exception of the St Anne des Monts / Tadoussac stage provided for in the program, which is a bit long. And without a telephone network, it is difficult to warn of an arrival which can only be late because the ferry docks at the end of the city. Baie Comeau agrave; 17 hours. The time to get out is 5:30 p.m. and then there is at least 2.5 hours on the road. Fortunately, the Rosepierre inn knows how to wait for its guests until 9 p.m. (but plan to eat quickly on the way because after 8 p.m. there is no more catering service).

All accommodations were of high quality. (I mainly tested the budget accommodations, and on occasion two or 3 comfort accommodations, as well as the First Nations museum hotel), always very friendly welcome , especially in cottages. I liked less the accommodation in Montreal that I find outdated and whose breakfast only offers sweet products. But it is really very well located, very central, especially when returning to the airport: the Express bus passes at 200 meters from the! [...]

(Translated by Google) Thank you for the advice on visits and the choice of accommodation.

On the other hand, I found that some stages were a bit long and did not leave us enough time available for visits. In particular the Ste-Anne-des-Monts - Tadoussac stage.

The bedroom; The beautiful Forillonne was small and overloaded. At La Passe-Pierre, the reception was rather cold and there was no breakfast (despite what was written in the room). The owner simply didn't want to prepare it!

In short, the organization was perfect and we are particularly keen to; thank Eric & Chantal from Pourvoirie Valga. They have been very present and always open to discussion, not to mention their excellent meals. [...]

(Translated by Google) Listening to customers, competence, kindness of Sarah.

I had a problem with the rental vehicle which caused me to a wasted afternoon to Ottawa but Authentik Canada cannot be held responsible for a defective car remote control that prevents the car from starting!

Accommodation at the top, a special mention for the exceptional slope chalets for an "economical". On the other hand the breakfast of the quality hotel à àgrave; Ottawa .... to flee.

Activities at the top and travel diary super well done.

Organization 20/20. Thanks again. Thank you Sarah... (to pass on to your hierarchy please). Kindness, competence ... a pearl! [...]

(Translated by Google) Not a bug, everything was ok and well prepared; despite our harsh demands.

Saguenay and Pourvoirie Valga rather hard beds but beautiful landscapes.

Really well done travel diary, I had never seen that.

The Saguenay stage should have to be skipped. It is indeed not convenient to go shopping at; groceries for 3 meals (2 nights). The cruise to this place has brought us nothing. interesting.

Alvine from Gite Pétale de roses is very efficient and superbly friendly and helpful but very attentive. to tell the truth, all Quebecers are deserving and this is what will encourage us to come back. [...]

(Translated by Google) Before the trip: Kindness, professionalism and responsiveness; from our advisor

During the trip: The quality; of the organization, the quality reserved accommodation, the usefulness of documents and information provided to; arrival

Car rental: car too small, not corresponding to; the reserved category; replaced by a larger car but not prepared (dirty, full not done)

Congratulations Pierre from Auberge Le Lupin (Mont-Tremblant) for his particularly warm, friendly and personalized welcome. (we felt like at home). For its availability and his good humor. For recommendations for restaurants and walks. For his precious advice before our walks in the forest. [...]

(Translated by Google) The general organization with the travel diary whose "Roadbook" responded to our expectation. This synthesizes well the previous preparation while allowing some deviations.

Regarding car journeys: the abbreviations used are confusing when you start the journey because you have to familiarize yourself with the signage that is difficult to master before being on the ground.

Just two small remarks: * àgrave; Percé, the substitute hotel "Fleur de Lys" only offered overnight stays. attached to the hostel. For breakfast you had to go to a restaurant, certainly close, but when the weather is not there!... * Why not give the address of the host family directly instead? What about having the organizer take a detour (absent during our visit and not reachable directly the day before)? This would have allowed more time to be spent. Québec (where this family resided) rather than on the road and in the many works to be done. this time.

No comment on the travel diary because the wealth of documentation allowed us to add unscheduled visits, the car gave us this freedom.

No remark either at the level of the organization because we have always been very well received everywhere. we presented the voucher. Your organization is recognized in the country.

We will never forget Chantal, Eric and their children from Domaine Valga & agrave; St-Gabriel-de-Rimouski. They allowed us to better know the country, the province and their domain. They knew how to make us discover their universe with an infectious enthusiasm, to receive us with warmth and simplicity. The visit to the maple grove is very instructive, meeting "Bertrand" the beaver is fantastic, it's no wonder the guides are passionate (children of the family). They are really authentic! Thanks to; them. [...]

(Translated by Google) There is with this circuit a nice variety; situations and regions.

It is necessary to insist all the same on the duration of the journeys which are longer than one can imagine.

The night at the inhabitant: it is difficult to be available for our hosts when we only spend one night there

Petit Saguenay: very relaxing stay but too far from any visit (Saguenay)

À Auberge Le Lupin du Mont Tremblant: Very Very warm welcome, very helpful and welcoming, available for all explanations and advice [...]

(Translated by Google) Availability advisors and listening to them. The content of the roadbook with very rich documentation. I prepared this trip since November 2011 with Elise, then Karène and to finish with Valérie and each time the answer came within 24 hours with our time difference. It was a very rich journey overall. UNFORGETTABLE whale safari.

Some errors in the East/West directions on the 132 in the travel diary. To correct. A suggestion: Take the 362 after La Malbaie to reach Baie de Saint Paul.

A somewhat cold welcome at Sainte Anne des Monts, even though we arrived a little before 4 p.m. It is the only place to deplore for the reception. Sheets not very white and the jug of milk not very clean at the Auberge sur Mer.

Thanks to; Chantal and Éric from Pourvoirie Valga who are whole people who talk about their countries, customs, which made us appreciate the flavors of CANADA and many other things.

Nothing to say about the organization. Too bad the counselors do not come to welcome us when we arrive. We traveled to Montreal to meet Valérie. [...]

(Translated by Google) Very good organization, both in terms of routes and booking accommodation. Thanks to; Marie Michelle OUELLET for her attentiveness and her efficiency; concerning our requests for modification of circuit and change of accommodation.
