Ontario & Quebec
A wonderful experience
Thank you to all the team of Authentik Canada and especially to Karolane for organizing this incredible trip to Quebec-Ontario.
Karolane advised us to stop by Mont Tremblant, and it was one of the best parts of our journey.
The best way to visit
Authentik via Allyson took all the confusion out of planning a great travel experience. This was a worry free vacation because of the great customer service and planning to our liking. Thanks for all the fun.
Wouldn’t be the same without Authentik Canada
I have traveled abroad often with my family. While each time was a unique experience this was our first “road trip”. AC help me plan a successful trip in ways I could not have even thought of before embarking. From helping me organize the sequence of stops to suggesting some amazing stops along the way. Allyson, our travel agent, answered our calls during the trip and the road book had essential information. Can you visit Canada without the help of AC? Sure. But if you want the best experience that can only be provided by an insider don’t miss the opportunity to work with this most excellent organization. [...]
Family trip
Marie Eve was extremly helpful in planning our trip. I would contact her again for a future trip to Canada.
Top-notch organization
(Translated by Google) The route was well established and all the reservations were top-notch.
If we were to do it again, we would remove some stages to add others, but it was good to have the main lines of our trip already booked and then we did according to the weather and our desires.
I highly recommend it ++++
Discovery of Canada
(Translated by Google) Great stay.
Awesome scenery.
Everything was good.
Magical!
(Translated by Google) What a trip! We were blown away, it was fabulous! If we had to choose again, we wouldn't have gone to Toronto, which is nothing more than a big North American city and can be visited in a day. The nature part, however, was magnificent! We loved it!
Lovely family adventure
(Translated by Google) We preferred the rural part to the big cities like Toronto and Ottawa which remain "American" cities. Splendid national parks, impressive Niagara Falls, superb boat trips, very warm welcomes in hotels and other services, including car rental (we had kept a very bad memory from a previous trip). Only downside, we had requested 2 rooms, one with 2 separate beds, a request validated at the time of booking, and in 40% of cases the 2nd room was with a single bed, so a little disappointed with this aspect (we were able to negotiate directly twice...)

Great trip
(Translated by Google) Hello and thank you for putting together this tailor-made trip for us. A perfect tour with hotels and services far exceeding our expectations. Only one small downside, the Auberge du Jardin at Petit Saguenay, which we found too old-fashioned. See you soon for Canada or the US which you also offer.
A magical and unforgettable adventure!
(Translated by Google) This trip was pure joy, Canada is so beautiful, with very welcoming and kind people. We loved it, it was top-notch, I mean every word and I could write a book about all the positive things I have to say!
The exchange, communication and all the organization done by Alexia Lessard were perfect from beginning to end. Flawless, irreproachable and our entire trip went perfectly. At the risk of repeating myself, but with great pleasure, I recommend Authentik Canada and Alexia Lessard, without hesitation!
It was magical and Canada will forever remain in our hearts. Thank you for everything Authentik Canada and Alexia Lessard!

A very beautiful, unforgettable trip
(Translated by Google) A great road trip, masterfully organized by Authentik. Only one hiccup during our entire 15-day trip, with a voucher for the wrong time, but the provider immediately rescheduled us, so no problem. Generally speaking, each experience met our expectations and corresponded to what had been described to us. We 100% recommend.
An unforgettable family road trip
(Translated by Google) We wanted a trip combining culture, nature, city exploration, and history, independently. Authentik's proposed itinerary perfectly met our expectations. The accommodations were all of good quality (however, you should factor in the cost of parking at hotels, close to $40-50 per day). The only downside was the accommodation in Gananoque, with everything disposable at breakfast, which was a bit shocking for us. The travel times and activity schedules were perfectly adapted, allowing for a relaxed arrival. The stop at Beside Habitat allowed us to do laundry mid-trip. It's a shame that the weather conditions, with the maximum risk of forest fires, didn't allow for the BBQ evening, but that's how it goes. The private tour in Quebec City was TOP with the costumed guide and his story of being a descendant of the first migrants. The visit to Montreal was a bit more disorganized. For Niagara Falls, some rooms had views of the falls, but these weren't offered to us during the trip planning. We recommend the Journey Behind the Falls excursion, which gives close access to the falls. Finally, at the CN Tower, we ate at 360, which is ultimately a good deal because admission is included, making it a relatively inexpensive meal (so we paid for an extra visit). Staying at Omega Park is truly a wonderful experience, with the howling of wolves in the night. We managed to find a sugar shack offering a tour (even though it wasn't the season) on Île d'Orléans – a suggestion for future clients.
We will definitely return, but in winter for a different experience.

Very nice trip to Quebec
(Translated by Google) Thanks to Authentik Canada for this very beautiful trip that we organized together. All the services were up to our expectations except the 5-star farm where we were very disappointed with the accommodation (dilapidated and infested with hundreds of flies).
We missed a stop at Mont Tremblant and one more day in the Charlevoix region would have been great. (One night at the Saguenay Fjord would have been enough).
[...]
Perfect trip. Very beautiful discoveries.
(Translated by Google) Departure from Toronto to travel up the Saguenay Fjord and end in Montreal. Niagara Falls, the CN Tower, cruises, whales, bears, poutine, top-notch accommodations. Superb experience. An Authentik team taking great care, always present as soon as we had a small problem. We spent two wonderful weeks.
Great
(Translated by Google) Susyane’s proposals, suggestions, and offer matched our expectations in every way, both in terms of the hotels and the activities.
We highly recommend Authentik Canada.
A super family trip, very diverse and exotic
(Translated by Google) Well-timed, very well located and very well equipped accommodations, diverse and interesting activities.
We loved the night at the land of the wolves, the bear safari, dinner at the CN Tower, Niagara....
An attentive and available team!!
Thank you, Danika.
Memorable road trip, tailored to our desires along the St. Lawrence River
(Translated by Google) Thanks to a personalized trip, adapted to our desires, and a very detailed and precise road book on schedules, accommodations, visits, we had an excellent stay in Canada!
The accommodations were perfect: the hotels/lofts in the big cities of Toronto, Quebec (with a washing machine!) and Montreal were very comfortable.
A small downside regarding the surroundings of the accommodation in Ottawa, close to a hangout for delinquents, in a rather unsafe neighborhood.
In all the accommodations, the breakfasts were excellent, with local specialties!
We really enjoyed the accommodation in the old schoolhouse lodging in Grands-Piles, the lodging in Petit Saguenay, and in the Hortensia manor in Saint Irénée, where our hosts (John and Dan, Régine, Gérard and Angel) were very kind, taking great care of us, also giving us very good advice for visits and restaurants around their homes.
All our discoveries delighted us, both in urban and rural areas, on foot, by car or by boat: Niagara Falls, Montmorency Falls, the islands of Orléans and Coudres, the whales in Tadoussac, the lakes, the fjord, the salmon river, the Sagard falls, the museums, the parks, the CN Tower, the "old quarters" of Quebec, Montreal.
The tour offered by your agency perfectly met our desire for authenticity!
The only negative point in this magnificent stay would be the rental car. The planned model was a Toyota Camry, we ended up with a Nissan Kicks, in France it's as if we had gone from a Passat to a Juke, the rental company seems accustomed to this, the problem is that we had to fight to make them understand that it was not an upgrade and to get financial compensation. Especially given the state of Canadian national roads (due to the harsh winter), the comfort of the Nissan was limited. Last point on this car, it is not made for the mountains, the gearbox showed its limits on the hills of Charlevoix County.
Finally, we would like to thank our travel advisor Emilie BOIVIN, for her support before the stay, her responsiveness when KLM canceled our transatlantic flight.
We therefore recommend our advisor as well as AUTHENTIK CANADA for your future stays. We will use them again when we organize our trip to Gaspésie.

Great road trip
(Translated by Google) Wonderful 15-day trip. Everything was top-notch, including the hotels, the activities, and the contrast between the cities and nature.
Very good timing between driving hours, activities, and breaks.
Wonderful road trip
(Translated by Google) For a first trip to Eastern Canada, every day was a real pleasure. The stages are sometimes a bit long, we traveled more than 2600 km to discover these magnificent landscapes and we met wonderful people, especially Gérard and Angel who took great care of us during our stay at Manoir Hortensia. We felt a pang of sadness upon our departure. We recommend Manoir Hortensia, a magnificent place and wonderful people not to be missed.
[...]
Very good experience
(Translated by Google) First time we used Authentik and the experience was conclusive. We gave the places we wanted to visit, the dates, and Marine then Marion took over until the road trip was finalized. Everything went very well, the roadbook with the vouchers is very useful and convenient. As for the car rental, we were lucky enough to be upgraded, what more could you ask for? In short, we will not hesitate to use Authentik Canada again for our next trip.
[...]
a very well organized and successful trip
(Translated by Google) Good organization and good follow-up by the agency. Sometimes a bit far by car and the hotel is somewhat distant from points of interest.
Quality of hotels to be improved - services, charm, places...
Very useful and well-made roadbook!!
A very beautiful trip and a great experience.
Some places like Lake ST Jean to avoid, and Zoo ST Félicien is not really worth the detour in my opinion.
Otherwise, the shores of the ST Lawrence are magnificent and the cities of Toronto and Montreal are worth seeing.

Quite disappointed by many steps taken.
(Translated by Google) The organization with Authentik Canada was simple and smooth, but I think many things could/should have been done differently to optimize the trip. We traveled many kilometers and stayed in hotels unnecessarily at the expense of other more interesting places.
Eastern Canada Road Trip
(Translated by Google) Superb vacation, very well organized, good advice, availability: I recommend and will probably use your services again.
Very well organized and consistent with the descriptions
(Translated by Google) Susyane was very responsive and listened to all my requests. We were therefore able to complete our road trip without any worries with a perfectly clear and precise roadbook accompanied by the AUTHENTIK app, making it impossible to make a mistake when going to the different places to visit. We chose not to take the highways, which allowed us to see and discover a little more of the small Canadian towns accompanied by sublime landscapes. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic journey to discover all aspects of Canada
(Translated by Google) A very comprehensive and intense road trip that allows you to discover all aspects of Eastern Canada, from cities, forests, and fjords, to wildlife and culture. Very good organization and contact with Authentik Canada, the app is a real help day by day.
Great road trip
(Translated by Google) I recommend this travel agency and the providers they work with, except for the Thrifty/Dollar car rental agency, both in Toronto and Montreal. Change partners!
A successful last-minute trip!
(Translated by Google) We had decided to take a road trip to Canada with our 4 children at the last minute, 2 weeks before departure, and to follow this trip directly after our stay in England. My husband, English, contacted specialized English-speaking agencies that promised him a turnkey trip in the coming days. However, 2 days before our departure, we still had nothing except our plane tickets and the rental car. I then contacted Authentik Canada, and they were extremely responsive. Marion put together a customized trip for us and made all the reservations in just one afternoon. All our criteria for the stages, accommodations (fantastic hotels!), and activities were met. We didn't even need to call them during the trip since everything was well organized. Thanks to Authentik Canada and Marion in particular for their availability, kindness, and responsiveness. [...]
Very beautiful experience.
(Translated by Google) We had a pleasant road trip thanks to Authentik Canada who took care of all the reservations (accommodations and some activities). We didn't want to manage the reservations because our group was made up of 11 people and it would have been difficult for us to find accommodations with enough rooms. The selected accommodations perfectly met our expectations. Sometimes in hotels, very well located because many visits could be done on foot, sometimes in lodgings, which allowed us to interact with the hosts and understand Quebec culture a little better. I therefore highly recommend Authentik Canada to everyone for their advice and professionalism.

Road trip Canada
(Translated by Google) Trip completed in July over three weeks. We chose to do our itinerary à la carte. Authentik Canada's valuable advice on the length of each stage and the direction of the route was perfect. The suggested accommodations ranged from very good to okay (small issue with the sofa bed in Ottawa for the 3rd person). It is appreciated to know the accommodations in advance. The duration of some stages could be reduced (for example, a single day at Niagara Falls, in Ottawa and in Montebello are sufficient in our opinion, difficult to determine for the traveler). We really enjoyed the welcome and kindness of Canadians in both Ontario and Quebec. Our favorites: Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake located a few kilometers from the falls, Montreal, Quebec City and Île d'Orléans. This is the second time we have entrusted our itineraries to Authentik Canada, twenty years apart, and it is very reassuring to have a local agency that responds to your possible requests or needs. One last piece of advice: the guided tours in Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec City are worth taking, it's a plus for getting to know these places, moreover the suggested guides were top-notch.

Forever in our hearts!
