Warm Canadian Welcome
(Translated by Google) Arriving at; our first hotel in; Montreal, we were expected: the AC bag, the GPS, Karine's little post-it notes, etc... In short, we felt expected and that's really good... Thank you Karine. It is truly exceptional. Karine has been very professional, very pleasant and responsive with us. Although at 6000 km from each other, she was very close to our expectations. Big thanks to; she.
Perhaps a few more typical Canadian restaurant addresses are needed...but we survived. :=) The breakfast waitress at; Anse St Jean was a little "rough": a little more smiles and friendliness; had been best way to start the day.
Our thanks to; the receptionist at; Anse St Jean, Chalets sur le Fjord. It's hard to nominate someone because ALL have been nominated. great... But at; l'anse st jean, we were very very well informed with time, friendliness, good advice, etc etc ... mentions also for the hotel à; Ottawa who placed us more. But all have been good.

A huge thank you to; Sebastien and Rachelle from Pourvoirie du Triton... their kindness, their availability, their knowledge of Canadian nature and their patience in the face of French people who are demanding and not always pleasant...

(Translated by Google) Very satisfied. Ease to modify the route as well as the very well done roadbook. Ease to contact the advisor.
Regularly, in hotels, we had problems with breakfasts, we had to ask for them. In one of them we had to get organized because we had 2 adult breakfasts and two children (for teenagers aged 14 and 16!!!). Perhaps the breakfasts should have been confirmed in detail.
The person to the reception of the 1st hotel, the Hotel Roberval, gave us; a cordial welcome and very good explanations. She was always ready to give the information. When you arrive after a 9 hour flight, it was very pleasant. This is a hostess present around 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on June 23, 2014.

(Translated by Google) EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT from start to finish. the end: - the exchanges of Mails with Marie-Michèle to help us with the organization and the circuit of our trip were; very important and all this has been done very quickly. A BIG THANK YOU to; Marie-Michèle OUELLET who is an excellent advisor. - Road maps have been updated. of a very precious help to get us to each destination. - Vouchers for the various places of accommodation or excursions, it's super practical and fast. The Roadbook has been VERY VERY USEFUL throughout the stay whether for: - the program to be; follow with the itinerary in summary; and in detail; (super well done), - the road indications were very clear at the end of the day. understanding plus mileage and time which was important, - information on where to stay was well explained including arrival and departure times as well as parking fees, - The places at; to visit were very well advised and explained as well as general information on the different cities or sites to visit. visit what has enriched our personal knowledge (concerns the "travel guide" tab and the "practical information"), - the places where; catering according to the different budgets of each was very useful, - the directions for driving in Canada were very practical because it is a little different from France. Finally, the 11 books concerning each destination of our trip served us well. Picking up the whole Authentik Canada pouch at the first hotel was very very good. It is an unforgettable and super well organized trip.
For my first trip with Authentik Canada, I enjoyed everything, the trip was super awesome. The only small drawback is for the payment. When we go to 2, you cannot pay each with your credit card, you absolutely need one payment for both people, even if you register at the same time and specify that you are traveling together.

(Translated by Google) We had an exceptional trip and we particularly liked it. Val Jalbert, Tadoussac, Quebec city.
(Translated by Google) Availability, quality answers, advice, friendliness, professional conscience and attentiveness from our adviser. The proximity accommodation in relation to the places of visit, to the activities except for Kingston (Thousand Islands) have been appreciated.
Perfect: correct AVIS service, vehicle updated. immaculate layout. Public transport: very useful in large cities.
Small room for 4 people àgrave; the Auberge des Berges at; Saint Felicien :(
All the activities have satisfied us :)
Very good travel diary except that the first part of the roadbook could have been useful before the trip, such as information on the highway code and all the practical information (price displayed - price at pay; taxes; tips) and this even if these may be found elsewhere on the sites.
Very good organization.
[...]
(Translated by Google) The roadbook really makes the logistics easier. Regarding the trip itself, the contact with the animals of Canada / Quebec was great, especially with our children.
Concerning the pick-up of the rental vehicle in downtown Montreal: the rental company Discount Québec did not come to pick us up at; the hotel, unlike the hotel. what was stipulated; in our road book. Regarding the return of the vehicle to Montreal airport: the route that was indicated; was not correct, and we had to ask directions to the general rental car center to find Discount Quebec. Regarding the stages: several times, the addresses provided were not complete, which prevented us from entering the exact address in the GPS. In particular, we had difficulty in find the Domaine du Pic-bois for black bear observation, and we had to find the Domaine du Pic-bois for black bear observation. several times asking for directions.
Overall nothing to worry about; report, all accommodations were compliant with our expectations. A downside to the Auberge des Berges whose decor and setting on the national road leaves a little to be desired. desire. For the night in a teepee: you have to tell customers about the lack of comfort, the very rustic type of accommodation, and that you have to keep the fire going all night or else you'll get cold! But we have not been disappointed, the experience was really great, and greatly appreciated by adults and children!
Nothing to do report on the level of activities, everything was perfect.
Travel diary very well done, except for the lack of precision of certain addresses / certain itineraries. An effort of precision is to be made. do on that side.
Very well organized. Only downside: only one night at the hotel. the Saint Mathieu du Lac inn with an arrival at; from 4 p.m. and a departure the next day at 11 a.m. for Lac Saint Jean leaves little background to enjoy La Mauricie National Park. In addition, the setting of the hostel is so great that we would have liked to spend at least one more night there! Quit at; spend one night less at; the inn on the banks. We would have appreciated that all (breakfast) breakfasts are included in our offer, because some accommodations charge really prohibitive prices!!!
[...]
(Translated by Google) We appealed to; Authentik Canada for the organization of a course that we had programmed; ourselves, alternating camping, hotels, access to an outfitter, discovery of a national park by canoeë for 2 days.... Our interlocutor was to our listening to make us proposals corresponding to; our expectations. It was perfect!
The volume of the rented car was a bit limited for the transport of people, luggage and camping equipment.
We would like to thank Olivier (nature guide) from the company Vent et rivère for his professional competence, his knowledge of the local fauna and flora, his kindness and his desire to share with us (culture, nature...cooking ).
[...]
(Translated by Google) Availability and advice from our correspondent, his responsiveness; to our requests and its friendliness.
During our journey we appreciated the the different types of accommodation and in particular homestay accommodation and the Triton outfitter (contact and discussions with the inhabitants)
For the rental car how to avoid the exorbitant price of parking at; the hotel at; quebec? $21 while you can park all day in a downtown parking lot for $5
The labouclée hostel is not soundproof; it's a pity, a baby who cries at night, someone who goes to the toilets !!!!..... 2 toilets for 10 rooms and the toilets in the bathroom are really not enough. On the other hand, the breakfasts are very good and very welcoming owners
At the Petit Saguenay holiday villa, we are completely off the hook. compared to Quebec families who stay the whole week, it is difficult to integrate, to share something, same for the children. stay there for 3 days; away and far from everything is too long, it should be shortened
The travel diary is good but from Montreal difficult to leave the city easily; can we have a map or more precise indications; e.g. to avoid the same difficulties in Quebec, we went to the tourist info point which gave us a precise map of the main axes of Quebec and the surrounding area
[...]
(Translated by Google) Excellent contact with Marylène Fauvelle, availability...Everything very balanced, beautiful country
It would be necessary to add explanations to find the renter out. Montreal airport when returning (explanations not detailed enough). Large insurance supplement not included in the base rental: $180.00. A priori, very important to take out this insurance because it insures the "haserds" (animal collision...).
Homestay accommodation: everything did anything, we had dinner with pasta soup + spaghetti Bolognese! Would have appreciated something more personal, more typical. Still homestay: a little far from the zoo planned for the next day, would have preferred; sleep near St Félicien. Obliged us to do the same route 2 days in a row. Ditto for the Village Vacances Saguenay: perhaps a little too isolated; ! But very nice!
The activities are perfect! The activities ordered punctuated our days. Special mention to; Bear watching, with a fascinating guide (Denis).
The travel diary is very practical, except for the explanations for the return of the car to; Montreal airport.
Seigneurie du Triton: unforgettable. Mathieu made us discover nature with passion and a lot of humour. The 2 days spent at the Triton with Mathieu are unforgettable for our children (and for the adults too!)
[...]
(Translated by Google) Sites in preserved places such as the Pourvoierie du Triton or in connection with nature such as the 5 É Tadoussac were fantastic. Very good location of selected hotels in town as well as in the outside. We would have preferred more friendly hotels in big cities, such as hostels or B and Bs.
Given the period chosen for our trip, some stages seemed unsuitable to us, such as, for example, the Condos du Lac Saint Jean and the hotel du lac Carling in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Grenville Sur La Rouge, despite the quality accommodation and beauty of the site.
For car rental, rie à àgrave; report to; except for the place of return of the vehicle to Montreal which is difficult to locate.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Very good quality. and diversity accommodations. Simplicity of using vouchers. The proposed itinerary, which allows you to discover the richness and variety of regions of Quebec. Thanks to; Isabelle from Parc des Hautes-Gorges de la Rivière Malbaie because during the cruise in the Bateau-Mouche, she was able to share with us her passion for this magnificent place, with humor and intelligence. Special mention for his incarnation of Menaud the log driver (based on the book by Félix-Antoine Savard).
There were some errors in the roadbook. The journey to return the vehicle to Montreal is also quite complex. For information, it should be indicated on the map of the roadbook that there is a water pump; gasoline located at 1 minute discount.
[...]
(Translated by Google) The steps were reasonable given the presence of 5 and 8 year olds; well-constructed program. Relevant roadbook. Interesting proposed activities.
It would be good to inform customers on the roadbook of the boat shuttle schedules of the seigneury of the triton (do not wait for the phone call from lake édouard). Laurent, the trapper of the seigniory of the triton shared with us his love of the flora and fauna of the site and it was memorable.
[...]
(Translated by Google) the organization has been perfect and what was planned was waiting for us exactly at; each step. It was a magical and unforgettable experience for our two children and ourselves.
(Translated by Google) Good hotels, good program, rental car beyond of our hopes! Very good, serious tour operator, nothing to complain about. say!
(Translated by Google) A very nice trip with the kindness of Quebecers as a bonus...
