Heart of Quebec
Sumptuous landscapes and exceptional Quebecers!!!
(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful trip, and had the chance to see many animals in the wild. A pure delight for photographers !!! We will also remember the wonderful welcome, the human warmth of the Quebecers. Our trip was mostly about prepared masterfully by Authentik Canada, with an absolutely remarkable choice of service providers. Never before have we encountered such responsiveness and such a high level of support from a tour operator. For sure, we will come back to visit the West, hoping that the reception of English speakers will be as good, because it must be said that Quebecers have placed the bar very high!!!! [...]
varied stay, unique experiences in an exceptional nature (7 adults from the same family)
(Translated by Google) This family circuit along the Saint Lawrence estuary, from Montreal to Tadoussac passing through Saguenay, Charlevoix, Lac St Jean and Quebec City will leave us with great memories, through the landscapes crossed and the welcome met. Hikes combining canoeë or Kayak and hike to; walking in the middle of the lakes, encountering black bears, whale watching, discovering Montreal and strolling through the heart of Quebec City are all unforgettable moments. Our hosts, guides (city tours) or facilitators of the various activities we did during this trip are all passionate people who have been able to convey their enthusiasm for their country and their domain. .
Very very nice trip!
Good organization, very well done roadbook which turns out to be a great help, especially for a circuit!

A very nice trip to QUEBEC with a competent agency
(Translated by Google) We spent 15 days self-drive in QUEBEC (local roadtrip formula). This freedom formula allows you to have a view of the main sites of QUEBEC in autonomy.
Contact with the agency was very professional, useful advice, quality accommodation. It was a trip without bad surprises.
I strongly recommend this agency and, to visit QUEBEC, province which deserves a stay. The population open to the world has a pleasant and easy contact

Discovery of Quebec
(Translated by Google) A very nice discovery of Quebec and Quebecers.
A tailor-made and adapted trip to our requirements. The pace was very appropriate; and allowed us to discover a maximum of landscapes.
A real plus to have been hosted homestay.
A special mention for the "Old School" inn and its host (John)
A very beautiful country very different from France
(Translated by Google) We discovered Québec; through a journey leading us through Quebec. We were able to discover the landscapes, and the habits and customs of Quebec. It was a very nice trip despite some disappointments near Charlevoix.
A very nice family trip and great encounters
(Translated by Google) The whole organization has been perfect and very well planned for the 15 days of travel. The itinerary and the regions discovered are superb and the people very welcoming. Our choice to remain in majority 2 days per site is good because it allows not to run too much and especially to put down the suitcases.
There is a lack in the upstream file when planning the trip and in the Road-Book of a little detail and price (even an estimate) of the activities that can be done on the route. (Exact location of the sites, travel time to reach and duration of the various activities itself)
A wonderful opportunity to bring together our family of teenagers and young adults. Stunning

Wonderful trip

We particularly liked the fjord of the saguenay and the nights at the inhabitant's house. Quebec
It was a faultless
(Translated by Google) If you want to visit Canada, please contact Authentic Canada. A caring operator.
wonderful stay.
(Translated by Google) Everything was perfect, the organization was impeccable. The GPS with pre-recorded addresses made it much easier for us to navigate. the stay, just like the advice of AuthentikCanada. Just a very slight flat concerning certain activities not carried out because of their late opening in the season like "the Village of new France". Many thanks again for this wonderful stay. We fell in love with your beautiful province and its warm inhabitants. [...]
Can't wait to come back to Canada!!!
(Translated by Google) Possibility to adapt the autotour according to our expectations and practical requirements (e.g. flights) - Advice from people who know the country and the sites proposed - Very complete roadbook with useful practical advice on accommodation and activities - Very complete documentation.
Financial offer and invoice not detailed enough (hence a difficulty in adapting certain components of the trip such as the choice of accommodation or the reservation of certain activities according to our budget) --> proposal: detail the invoice item by item - Error when establishing the final program (the whale excursion offered as a promotion was deducted from the cost of the trip to instead of being reserved).
We would like to thank Karine Beaudin & Anouk Legault of Authentik Canada for their warm approach during the realization of the video capsule at; Montreal and their interest in the smooth running of our trip. Thanks to; Johanne Raymond & Daniel Brunet of the Gîte de la Tempérance for the quality of the for their welcome and for the gastronomic lunches. Thank you also to Quebecers in general on the various accommodations and sites visited for the warm contacts and their desire to make people discover their magnificent country.

(Translated by Google) We discovered a magnificent region. Our stay was a source of happiness. Everything we saw and visited enchanted us. The journey in the little train of the zoo of St Félicien was easy. magical. And what marked us is that we met extremely nice and helpful people. Quebec leaves us with unforgettable memories.
The 2 nights spent with the locals pleased us less, because our host had personal constraints, which meant that she did not have the same availability. than the people who run a gite. We have been disappointment with the content of the Musée de la civilization de Québec, which refers to a past too recent.
Our greetings to; Sylvie and Pierre from Le Lupine cottage in Mont Tremblant. We talked a lot with them, country, politics, economy, culture ..... and we enjoyed the particularly neat breakfasts that they presented to us.
[...]
(Translated by Google) In relation to contact with Authentik Canada: reception and listening, the possibility of to manage everything distance by telephone, a proposal adapted to my expectations. In relation to the trip itself: hotels/hostels that correspond perfectly to your needs; our expectation, an always very warm welcome, a practical and well-documented road book; (a GPS was still necessary), lists of restaurants and activities, interesting tourist guides.
We would like to nominate the owner of the Auberge de St Mathieu du Lac. The hostel has been opened 2 days before the originally scheduled date, just for us, we were the only customers. A very warm welcome, we felt like we were in a guest house. Our breakfasts were 'tailor-made' and very tasty. A superb site on the edge of a lake.
[...]
(Translated by Google) We are very satisfied with the quality lodgings, the coherent course, the availability of our adviser, the organization in general, the simplicity of the trip once there.
We particularly appreciated Johanne from Gite la tempérance: A perfect welcome, particularly warm, a breakfast superior to the price. those of the restaurants and a great exchange. Hard to leave, when we only spent one night.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Everything is very well organised: from the vouchers given in the order of use, to the roadbook, the guides of the regions visited and the pre-stamped envelope to return the GPS. The road map with the route of the trip highlighted as well as the stages designated with the stickers has been added. also very appreciated. Authentik Canada chooses its service providers very well: we have been very well received in all the lodgings as well as for all the activities.
Special mention for Johanne and Danièl from gîte la Tempérance. They are much more than warm, they have to; heart that the stay goes well and cultivate good humor. They have a real sense of sharing and are really made for this job. Our stay with them will be remembered!

(Translated by Google) I can't choose what I liked the most : The whale watching cruise made us dream and we weren't surprised. disappointed. Bear watching was also exciting. The specialist was passionate about and very interesting. We spent a dreamy afternoon. The historic village of Val Jalbert is really worth the detour and we will surely come back with our grandchildren to visit the omega park and the zoo of Saint Felicien. The organization was perfect. The choice of rooms was perfect. We really liked the night with the locals because the person who received us knew his region and the history of Quebec perfectly well; She had simmered us a succulent meal with specialties from the region. We struggled to; leave the next morning.
The travel diary is not precise enough. For example what we could visit during the journeys or the photos of the hotels are missing.
The gps was missing, which forced us to to return to the agency. A little waste of time.
Thanks to; Denis or Danny from Domaine le Pic Bois. He was passionate about and therefore exciting. He spoke to us. of the nature of the bears that he knows perfectly, of the trappers. We have not seen past time. We came back with knowledge about bears and with beautiful pictures.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Perfect organization without any misses; from start to finish of the stay. The explanations of the roadbook are complete and helped us to visit this beautiful region of Quebec. Thanks to; you, you allowed us to experience a magnificent honeymoon!
The Auberge du Surouet (Charlevoix) was an inn well below all the other services in terms of room and breakfast. In addition, more possibility dinner in the evening as indicated in your explainer of this hostel.
At the level of the canyoning of Charlevoix, in addition to having had a loupé in the organization with the activity, the activity; in itself was not exceptional. It is in fact only 3 abseiling. It's not what you can call real canyoning.
À the Auberge du Lupin, we were treated to; an exceptional welcome. The people at the hostel were always very caring for its visitors.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Proposed circuit well chosen for people who love nature, great variation in landscapes and possible activities, exceptional choice of accommodation (friendliness of the hosts and service), extraordinary additional activities (especially: safari to bears, rafting, whale watching, seaplane). Above all: very efficient assistance during our car accident in order to obtain a new rental car.
Auberge Surouet near; Landslides: this hostel did not correspond to the high standard of our other accommodations, both in terms of reception and service. The room itself was ok and clean. The breakfast was organized chaotically (everything was still wrapped in plastic and you had to help yourself), the crumbs and stains from the day before were still on the tables. The reception and the service were almost non-existent. While at the other accommodations we felt very comfortable. comfortable, even at home, here it was not the case.
The path descriptions (map) did not always correspond to the path indications mentioned in the roadbook. This led to confusion. In addition the number of kilometers and the hours to be driven. count did not always match.
A huge thank you to; Denis from the bear safari because he made sure that the safari will remain a unique and unforgettable experience for us. He had so many things to do. tell about his experience with the bears, that we would have liked to spend a whole week with him on the observation stand.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Good organization, precise and detailed roadbook. In general, accommodation well located, car corresponding to our expectations, very well-informed and friendly guides, very nice moment with Mr. Boivin, who is truly passionate; by its activity, varied activities.
The rented car had a standard GPS, even free yours so we were able to find it. useless. This type of detail could have been taken care of. beforehand.
Thanks to; Pierre and Sylvie of the Auberge du Lupin for their immense kindness, their availability, the respect of the hosts and Pierre's omelettes are marvelous!!!! Pleasure!
Auberge du cap de corbeau: Cold welcome with the very clear impression of disturbing. Person to the reception neither in the afternoon nor in the evening. Pretty room with signs asking you to pay attention to the parquet floors. of what is offered only by quantity. Nice house but that's it. We only stayed there one night preferring to go to a more lenient place even if the second night was paid...
[...]
(Translated by Google) Quality the organization of the circuit, accommodation. The advantage of regularly having 2 nights in the same place allowed us to discover the different stages serenely.
Disappointment at Auberge du Surouet: nice room, but very disappointing breakfast and service (bread, croissants, stale muffins left in the packaging). Note that the hostel no longer offers dinner.
We would have appreciated an extra day at Lac St Jean or at Tadoussac and a day only to; Charlevoix.
Thanks to; Johanne and Daniel from Gite de la Tempérance. We particularly appreciated reception and advice on the surroundings (visits and catering). Very nice room and excellent breakfast.
[...]
(Translated by Google) The flexibility left by the organization and the judicious choice of accommodation which allowed us to really be in contact with the inhabitants.
Special mention to; Johanne Raymond of the temperance gîte. A very great kindness and a very fine cordon bleu. We loved it.
(Translated by Google) Most :
The discovery program.
The inn of St Mathieu du Lac.
The evening at the inhabitant at; Hébertville.
Tadoussac, an exceptional place.
Québec, we liked this city a lot.
Cons: 2 hour wait to pick up our vehicle at Discount à; Montreal, loss of half a day, it's a shame vacation days are sacred... Note a particularly unsuitable service; at the rental agency. We had however gone there the day before as advised.
Accommodation was overall very good. except for the house of Vébron which really lacks soul. In addition, the breakfasts were not very good (bread still frozen and "1st price products without flavor). It's a shame because this hostel is not at all up to par with the extraordinary place I think you could significantly improve things by accommodating your vacationers directly in Anse St Jean or in Petit Saguenay (the sunset there is magical!).
The activities are very good, in particular the guide of the domain of Pic bois à; opportunity for bear viewing. I would very much like you to send him a message on our behalf because his passion has fascinated us. In addition, we had a very intense moment during the whale watching cruise.
[...]
(Translated by Google) The organization and great availability from Authentik Canada.
At the Suites de l'Anse & àgrave; Tadoussac the accommodation was very average. Authentik had well reserved; 2 quadruple rooms and a single, but we only have a quadruple room, a double with mattresses on the floor and the single room, because the hotel was full. The double room was very uncomfortable.
In the travel diary: the routes are not always given to you; from the place of departure.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Excellent diversity places visited thanks to the stages proposed in the autotour. The most beautiful stages were Mauricie, Saguenay and Tadoussac. For the night at the inhabitant's; HebertVille, we expected more from; a "host family" that has a cottage, even if the stay has been very pleasant and charming hosts.
For the first two days at; Montreal, renting a car is not essential if you want to visit the city without paying parking fees. Very well done and very useful travel diary
If it was to Doing it again, we might spend one less day at Mont Tremblant and one more day in Charlevoix.
[...]
(Translated by Google) That you have met all our expectations, with professionalism and have made our stay simple. pleasant.
Good and comfortable car.
All accommodations have been of a high standard. and cleanliness. irreproachable.
Too many things to see to discover to do. Canada too good and beautiful.
The travel diary, a very very very practical little booklet to discover and inform us about the places where we were staying.
Great, nothing to worry about. say about the organization thank you very much
[...]
(Translated by Google) What we liked the most : The essential roadbook, the good organized, the information provided for each stage (sometimes erroneous without more) the possibility to join you even on Sunday evening at; 20 hours ! The services provided to; with the exception of the cane. sugar.
An up-to-date GPS, Quebec is ten times larger than France and you get lost quickly, so having a compass in the vehicle would also be a plus.
Auberge le Lupine must provide that 4 identical rooms must be, Auberge du Lac a little outdated but a courtesy and a service that will be remembered, the boss traveled 10 kilometers to bring us the sandwiches and drinks that we had ordered; and forgot the day of departure.
Chateau Laurier charge for wifi in rooms, unacceptable. La nuit des Caribou exceptional and special mention to; Gabriel Bourgault absolutely exceptional kindness of knowledge and culture on the fauna of Quebec. He touched us all very much. and he is invited with us when he comes to France.
Very good travel diary, however review the sometimes contradictory GPS route annotations. The description corresponds well to the activities and to the accommodation offered.
Good organization overall, nothing to worry about. tell Marie Michèle to; listens and gives the answers we expected.
For a Frenchman, the addition is sometimes difficult to calculate. swallow because 15% tax plus 15% tip for us where everything is included...
The reception at; Quebec is less welcoming than in Quebec. Montreal for example, but we understand that Quebec lives on tourism and we have the same problems in France.
[...]
(Translated by Google) There was a good mix in quality. accommodation: in town (Montréal and Quebec) very beautiful 4-star hotels. And in the country, very welcoming hostels, with a very beautiful environment (St Mathieu du lac and Les Eboulements) with generally good cuisine, and excellent quality. exceptional hospitality; really Quebec as we imagined.
I believe that we have not been warned that the Auberge La Bouclée at Les Eboulements only had shared bathrooms. However this did not bother us. Thanks to; Ginette, our host at; the Auberge la Bouclée for its taste for cooking, and its way of presenting and explaining breakfasts to us.
