Canada by Motorhome
A magical week
(Translated by Google) A great journey (Lac Saint Jean / Fjord / Tadussac). Beautiful places and an Authentik organization at the top. The roadbook is great, the indications nickels, the reservations (voucher) super simple and well managed (for the size of our motorhome for example).
The minor drawbacks: the travel times indicated in the roadbook are a little underestimated when you are in a motorhome! and it might be necessary to think of calling all the activities subject to climatic hazards before going there... (so as not to travel additional and useless km if the activity is cancelled).
But otherwise: the week was perfect and makes you want to redo trips in the same genre! ( Gaspésie maybe? )

Discovering a warm Quebec
(Translated by Google) 15 days, it was just enough time to fill our eyes, our heads, our senses with an exceptional experience. Everything rolled: the extraordinary motorhome 9 m by 4 high for 5, electrical extensions that enlarged our space, highways and roads a little under construction but not too much, access to parks and camping areas always nice and nature, multiple visits and discoveries: the mauricie with its forests and lakes, lake St Jean with the village of val Jalbert with its waterfall and the zoo of St felicien and its bears, the Saguenay and its forjd; the St Laurent and its 4 humpback whales which came to flirt with our zodiac, the lumberjack meal at the sugar shack (which allowed us not to eat for a while); Jacques Cartier Park and its unforgettable storyteller and the rabasca ride; Quebec and Montreal with their history and their grandeur.... nothing was missed and although returning to France we still feel imbued with our beautiful trip.
But above all, we regret the exceptional warmth of the welcome and benevolence from Quebec. We, lost looking for a restaurant and as soon as a good soul to guide us, a mistake on the road and everyone lets us pass, a question about the cheese that makes chouïk chouik and a conversation begins, and everyone tells us their story: from the 13th generation who arrives from France and welcomes us to his cape sugar shack, Mohamed our huber from the start and his first winter to cry in Montreal, from the driver of canadream (camping car) giving us a thousand tips and experiences of camping, of this Quebec family visiting our camper van and giving us the names of the members of their family. And especially from this good soul who transported us from the campsite to Quebec despite the fact that we had missed the shuttle and allowed us to offer a superb birthday in Quebec to our daughter.
everything was unforgettable like the marshmallows melting around a wood fire.

Fantastic trip
(Translated by Google) We loved our motorhome trip. Unforgettable trip!
Tailor-made holidays
(Translated by Google) We are very satisfied with our vacations in Quebec and we owe this greatly to the services of Authentik Canada.
The organization was done at the beginning of the year by email exchanges and live texts. In less than a week the project was completed!
We did a loop in VR (motorhome for the French ;O)) for 12 days. Everything was up to our expectations, only one downside the Tadoussac / sugar shack trip, honestly it was not a good plan: Sugar shack activity at 12 p.m., planned trip of 3:30 hours for which, despite the added margin we took 5 hours! so arrived 30min late and driver exhausted by the tension at the Sugar Shack. The driver (me) got over it.
We were 2 adults and our 8 year old grandson.
The recreational vehicle really suited our needs. Although impressive when picked up, it turned out to be very easy to drive, use and offer comfort worthy of a French 3-star hotel. Attention dear French compatriots for travel times in general change your reference, here we do not calculate your travel time as with us: the mileage is an indication but for the real time it is necessary to take into account i) speed limits which do not are not the same as here and which are respected ;o)), ii) works on the roads which will really slow you down so I advise you to add 15% to the time that the GPS will indicate to you.
The camps in general and in the parks in particular offer large pitches and good services in very pleasant places. A word of advice, put yourself in Canadian fashion and make campfires and roast marshmallows!
The highlights were:
The kindness, availability and competence of Canadians everywhere we went. We met, in the camps among other things, adorable people, a pity not to have been able to deepen our discussions due to time constraints.
Saint Felicien zoo. We spent a full day there without being bored for a second. The animals, although captive, seem well treated, the explanations given by the naturalists are of a very good standard and they are available for the children's questions.
The village of Val-Jalbert. I was dubious before the visit, fearing the tourist trap. It is not so, it is a moment and a way of life of Quebecers in 1920 to discover.
Whales in Tadoussac. Breathtaking!! What to say about this unforgettable experience? A humpback whale gave us a phenomenal show for about twenty minutes, jumps, flapping pectoral fins, caudal fin release, etc... We saw about fifteen humpback whales and a few fin whales. The captains of the zodiacs know their job well and optimize the time at the observation site by following the animals at a reasonable distance. To do absolutely.
Guided tour of Quebec. An old town to discover and a part of the history of France to discover too ;0)) Not really glorious for us.
To conclude, we have a strong desire to return to Canada as soon as possible, probably further west or, why not, a West / East RV trip.
If you have a vacation project in Canada, entrust it to Authentik.

Superb experience!
(Translated by Google) The motorhome lends itself very well to visiting Quebec and its natural parks. It is a relatively comfortable way to travel with the family. The only regret is the lack of flexibility to stop on the way for example to buy fruit or bread, given the size of the motorhome.
Very nice trip!
(Translated by Google) Great to do with the family, despite a pace a little too fast.
Great family trip
(Translated by Google) We were delighted with the services of Authentik Canada! Travel and itinerary very well advised! Only downside, the gps did not work ... sometimes not very easy to locate ...
The quintessence of the ideal life
(Translated by Google) The development of a course, the choice of options, the reserved spaces, the vehicle were as prepared and everything was respected in a perfect way!
The only downside concerns the moose: on all the roads it is mentioned to pay attention to it because it is an unpredictable animal. We found that he is like Mrs. Colombo (in the same TV series): We talk about it a lot but we never see it....!????

Travel with peace of mind
(Translated by Google) We had a great time in Canada
The itinerary was perfect and varied
Lack of details
(Translated by Google) We had some difficulties due to a lack of details on our RV trip. In particular where to park the RV on the outskirts of large cities. We looked for a place to park for 2 hours on arrival in Quebec.
We spent more than 3 days in Montreal because we had to return the RV on Friday! What a pity. We felt like we were suffocating and wasting time that we could have spent in the parks.
At my father's garden campsite, we were on top of each other. Warn the French who come to look for the great outdoors!!

Soulignac Travel
(Translated by Google) It's very good thank you very much!
Well-established agency
A wonderful stay!
(Translated by Google) Magnificent places to see among fir trees, lakes and rivers. For those who love nature, it's really magical without counting on the 2 very beautiful cities visited: Montreal (large and very rich in culture and entertainment), and Quebec (smaller but just as interesting and above all very beautiful) . I recommend this 2-week stay even if we would have liked to stay to discover a little more... but it is the right duration for this course (do not try to do more because otherwise we would spend too little time on site ). [...]
Very nice course
(Translated by Google) We completed a 20-day journey visiting as many national parks as possible
We were two families of 4 and 5 people
We just regret the Minimalist eqioement of the motorhome
No grill, no ounce to turn the meat on the grill, no lamp to illuminate the table, no product for the toilet, no carpet in front of the entrance to the motorhome (we take it all the way inside)
We also had a problem with
The fridge that could not be repaired in the last 6 days, so no fridge.
It would be necessary to provide a kit with everything the camper needs for these evenings or the start of the journey, we would have been ready to pay for it.
Carpet in front of the motorhome entrance, grill, candles or lamps for the table, mosquito repellent in the form of a coil, GPS
For the road, fitted sheets adapt to the fixed and convertible beds, the standard sheets go away from the first installation and during the night.
It's still a great experience.
Thanks to Emily
PS: the duration of the trips on the roadbook is not
Not reliable, it is necessary to add between 25 to 50% of additional time.

Easy and
(Translated by Google) Circuit and program of activities well organized, easy and good quality of services, apart from the motorhome supplier who was not great (old vehicle, technical problems solved but with difficulties). an unforgettable trip that was very well organized thanks to Authentik Canada.
An Extra Experience
(Translated by Google) The organization of Authentik coupled with the professionalism of CanaDream allowed us to discover unknown corners, in a comfortable vehicle. I would still recommend storing the heaviest dishes at the bottom of the cupboards!
The alternation between campgrounds in national parks and private sites (ValJalbert, Bon Plaisir, Valcartier) was very interesting. Our preference in the end goes to Camping de la Joie, at the gates of Quebec, a wooded environment where the proximity of the land is counterbalanced by the arrangement in landings and the residents who have fixed their caravans for several years.
Quebec is very welcoming, like its inhabitants. Thanks !

Very rewarding road trip
(Translated by Google) A 2-week road trip through Quebec that went well. The motorhome was a discovery but everything went well. The campsites were spacious and pleasant. The 2 activities chosen, St Felicien zoo and whale watching were very nice. Véronique gave us good advice and organized our trip very well, we had no bad surprises.
Very nice discovery of Quebec!!
(Translated by Google) Our tailor-made trip with Authentic Canada allowed us to discover Quebec with the family and in a motorhome, a very nice two-week circuit through the parks and the most beautiful roads in the country. All this with a great roadbook that includes all the necessary information and vouchers for stays in very good campsites. Thanks to Joannie, our advisor for her kindness and all her advice since the reservation. [...]
Excellent service
(Translated by Google) This is the first time we have booked an "organized" trip and we were happy to go through Authentik. They started from one of their itineraries to customize it at our request since we were traveling with 2 young children. We benefited from their expertise on the booking of the camper because it is the first time that we have undertaken a trip like this, and also from the choice of campsites. Excellent responsiveness from their teams to build and modify the trip. Everything went well. [...]

exceptional
(Translated by Google) Thank you Marie-Pascal!
We celebrated with my husband our 20 years of marriage,
and that was the reason for this trip.
We chose Canada, what a good choice!
Thanks to your invaluable help, we have experienced
magic moments in grandiose landscapes,
we had such beautiful encounters, often moving, majestic with this giant of the oceans (whales).
From start to finish, this trip to your beautiful and welcoming country was perfect.
We will keep a special memory of it, a memory
which will remain in our hearts.
Thank you, thank you, thank you ... for your contribution, your
professionalism, your availability and your responsiveness.

A very nice trip organized masterfully by friendly and passionate professionals.
(Translated by Google) It was a first for our family to go in a motorhome and I really recommend this formula to discover Canada. What a joy to wake up in the middle of a national park, surrounded by extraordinary nature. It's an adventure but at the same time, everything is perfectly framed by Authentik Canada and the very beautiful Roadbook given at the start of the trip guides you step by step (and it's a superb souvenir after your return). [...]
Superb trip
(Translated by Google) A very good organization, clear and efficient. A small initial problem of availability of the motorhome (under repair) was very well resolved and spontaneously taken care of by the rental company. Loaner motorhome replaced the same evening at our campsite... The sea kayak outing on the Saint Laurent was canceled because of the too strong wind,... but replaced by an observation in a Zodiac... and we were able to see blue whales! (rare).
We have chosen to reorganize our circuit for a short stay, to include a stage through the Parc des Hautes Gorges de la Malbaie. (additional nights at our expense). it was really worth it, the Acropole des Draveurs hike offers a nice exceptionally clear view. (because often the vegetation here is so dense that you can't see far on the forest paths). We were also lucky to have very good weather, with very little rain during our stay. The Canyon Saint Anne chasm (falls) is spectacular, but does not justify spending more than an hour or two there, except to be tempted by one of the Via Ferrata activities offered on site. Very good choice than this Camping de la Joie which allows you to visit Quebec 15 minutes away, by taking the shuttle directly to the Campsite.
The motorhome formula, with 2 nights at each stage is ideal.
A suggestion for the motorhome rental company: provide chocks for leveling the vehicle (better for cooking and showering). In short, we returned with lots of good memories and very happy with our trip.

Great trip
(Translated by Google) Expert advice and tailor-made program, perfect for the family trip we dreamed of.
A great adventure!
(Translated by Google) We had an amazing 2 weeks! Our advisor has adjusted our trip to make the most of Quebec (especially the return of the motorhome in the afternoon). The pre-booked activities were awesome! In short, a great experience!
Superb trip
(Translated by Google) We loved our trip! Thanks again to Laurence for her advice, her responsiveness and the organization at the top
