Once in the West
Very beautiful trip, beautiful landscape, beautiful motels
(Translated by Google) Nice temperature, a good choice of motel with good breakfast, a good itinerary, with a good travel agency















Immersion in an XXL nature! Unforgettable stay
(Translated by Google) 2nd stay with Authentik Canada. After the "Canadian Treasures" (as a family), we opted for the circuit (as a couple) "Once upon a time in the West". Unforgettable stay with grandiose landscapes, lakes, waterfalls without forgetting the wildlife -elk, bears,...- accompanied by ideal weather! A big thank you to Véronique and her team for their support (before and during), their sound advice, their responsiveness and their sympathy during our exchanges. Excellent choice in accommodation, in the activities offered and in the route which alternates cities and natural parks. [...]
Gorgeous
(Translated by Google) The organization of the trip and the places visited were very good. The trip went without any worries, it was nothing but pleasure.
15 day road trip in the West
(Translated by Google) It was a wonderful trip!! A first for us, and we are already planning to explore the East. The accommodations and the car were up to our expectations, as for the landscapes, they are simply grandiose, even if the weather was capricious. We particularly liked Revelstoke Park, the authenticity of Ashcroft, and the trip to sea to meet orcas. The roadbook is very well done. One caveat though: no GPS when picking up the car, which delayed us two hours as we got lost! [...]



An exotic and contrasting journey in emotions
(Translated by Google) This trip, slightly remodeled compared to the proposals in the Authentik Canada catalog, allowed us to reconcile the distance to travel and the number of sites to discover. Although perfectible, this "road trip" seems to us a success. Magnificent landscapes, pleasant and serene roads, typical restaurants where the bison is cooked with care... And of course beautiful walks in the Rockies!
A small downside, however, a faulty reservation: two nights noted on a voucher and, surprise, only one detention at the hotel...

Very nice trip
(Translated by Google) Better preparation would have made the trip more relevant. Some errors on the road book and things to see on the routes.
Excellent service from Laurence
(Translated by Google) We would like to congratulate Laurence for her service, her quick responses and her professionalism
Once in the West - Max's Family
(Translated by Google) Great trip of 2 weeks (14 nights - 2800kms) beginning of August from Calgary to; Vancouver (Flights with 1 stopover in Montreal: Paris CGD-Calgary and Vancouver-Paris CDG). Very good experience with Authentik Canada: a lot of reactivity; and flexibility in the organization of the trip on the part of our advisor Stéphanie. Very good advice for the choice of stops and for the choice of activities. Planning activities with Authentik Canada is a real plus: good choice and simplification of the organization on site ... a very good way to make the most of and have a good pace on site with alternating activities and visits. Plan a minimum of 2 nights per stop to enjoy without stress (the distances between 2 stops can be quite long). The point to improvement for Authentik Canada would be to offer more accommodation choices in the different categories: à; due to lack of availability and proposals not corresponding to; our desires we have reserved accommodation by ourselves ... which has been possible thanks to; flexibility of Authentik Canada and allowed us to have a trip corresponding exactly to; our desires. The choice of rental vehicles was also quite limited; (lack of availability), so I booked directly to get the vehicle I wanted.
Essential stops (+++): Jasper, Wells Gray Park and Vancouver. The Icefield Parkway (road between Banff and Jasper) is really very beautiful. Wells Gray Park has been a real nice surprise: wild & magnificent, and above all much less frequented; than Jasper and Banff. Plan to go rafting with IWE (they have a great 3-4 hour must-do tour) and go to the end of the 30km trail to swim in Clearwater Lake with a stop en route to do the Alpine Meadows Trail (3kms of magnificent trail alternating forest and flower fields).
Cool stops (++): Banff, Pacific Rim and Victoria.
Stop that we liked least (+): Whistler. We weren't able to fully enjoy Whistler at all. causes fires (virtually zero visibility due to smoke).

Landscapes to Breathtaking
(Translated by Google) Banff and Jasper parks justify the trip alone: the landscapes are exceptional. The hiking possibilities are very numerous, from 1 hour to 1 hour. several days, from easy to difficult, and the paths are always very well marked.
The ideal is to go there in July / August, when the lakes are the most beautiful. It is necessary to book several months in advance.
The cities of Calgary and Vancouver are of little interest, Whistler is worth the detour.

(Translated by Google) Cordiality and agility to build and adapt our trip. Suggestion: Even if the tip was already due included in the price, in some hotels the receipts (Vouchers) given for the food do not mention it, therefore it made us feel bad. comfortable.
(Translated by Google) Excellent reservation of hotels, car and travel plan. Good availability of the agent but no follow-up during a problem while traveling with the reservation conditions of the car.
(Translated by Google) The follow-up of the adviser and the agency globally: her quick responses, an example, our roadbook was not with the car rental provider, we contacted her. the hotline, we were reassured and very well received on the phone, and the next morning the roadbook was at hand. our hotel! The activity included (horse to Asncroft at Sundance ranch) was great, we would have liked have more suggestions like this.
Cons: The choice of certain noisy hotels (Clearwater lodge, Whistler village inn) The updating of the hotel offer (ex: The Whistler village Inn no longer offers breakfast) More suggestions for activities included when you don't know it's great to discover a place in a different way like on horseback).
Thanks to; management of the Sundance Guest Ranch. The atmosphere there is really nice, the fact that the meals of super quality; and the horseback ride are included, it's great. We arrive and enjoy right away. The welcome is warm and family-like, to be recommended and reproduced in the other stages of the trip.

(Translated by Google) Hotels were generally well chosen and well located, especially in the major cities of Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria. A few steps... and we were in the center of the action. Our favorite was; Marmot Lodge in Jasper. À each of the hotels, no problem with the vouchers. Everything was in order.
We liked less the Mountaineer Lodge of Lake Louise. No elevator, no telephone in the room, no air conditioning.
Upon receipt of the travel diary, I was disappointed. I expected to more. I was hoping to have more concrete information, more leaflets on the attractions to visit. visit... Fortunately, I had done a good preparation via the internet beforehand because I believe that we could have gone to; side beautiful things.
The suggested route is quite good as to the number of kilometers each day. But, you should not always rely on the time indicated; to cover the distance because often you can't drive very fast given the curves, the narrowness of the road, the cliff at the end of the road. several places. As there are many things to visit on the road, it is recommended to leave very early in the morning.

(Translated by Google) We greatly appreciated the road book.
It is unfortunate that "AuthentikCanada" does not make reservations for flights when departing from Quebec. Ditto for ferry reservations!
Accommodation was generally good except for Kelowna.

It would be desirable to have the roadbook maps in color. The use of a GPS has proven to be essential for traveling with a certain comfort, especially in cities: therefore, provide it automatically in your package!
[...]
(Translated by Google) - Very good organization (no problem with vouchers).
- Quality hotels and lodges exceptional.
- New rental car.
- The activity ''visiting the killer whales in a zodiac'' was an unforgettable moment.
Conclusion: Unforgettable trip !!!!!!!!!!
Return of the car to 3km from the airport. Very difficult to find, while there are ''rent a car'' to find; the airport.

(Translated by Google) Very well prepared trip; with autonomy in travel, food and sites to visit; to visit.
The very well done road book is very practical.
The choice of hotels is very correct except for lake louise. After passing every night in very large rooms, he was reserved; to lake louise a budget room too small. We therefore asked a superior category room $40 extra/night. I think the level of the economic chamber would have passed. no problem at the beginning of the trip but not after tyax and revelstoke which were really superb
Our advisor has always been very fast, professional and friendly to respond to any questions. our questions.
Good responsiveness following a transport problem during the trip. The first car was in poor condition (smooth tire and passable interior general condition). No more problems after changing the car. the 2nd car was in perfect condition and very clean. inside.
During long journeys on mountain roads, it might be advisable to suggest a 4 x 4. ex: tyax - whistler. The French are not used to this kind of very rocky road.
I think that when choosing the tyax option, it would be desirable to spend a full day on site (2 nights)
For nature lovers, it's not worth spending a full day at; whistler. From Victoria, there are no more optional activities planned. It might be good to suggest some (there are some).
