Wilderness trail
Great experienc with assisted road trip planning
We booked our road trip late but the agent took extra mile to make sure all hotels and activities can be confirmed. We were very satisfied with the quality of B&B and hotels we stayed. We didn't speak French but we had no issues participating all activities booked. The 100+ pages Roadbook is very helpful in doing things on our own.
Amazing trip!!
Lovely trip
Our 1 week trip in Quebec was well organized with the stays booked according to the travel plan. Most of the B&B and hotel booked for us were well maintained and thanks to our travel agent we could book on short notice. The activities included in the package like whale watching was enjoyable. Overall we had a pleasant trip and the roadbook was quite helpful provided by the Authentik Canada team. [...]
A great wildlife adventure
We loved the Authentik Experience. Everything from booking the trip to setting out on our tour was superb. We were really impressed with the Road book, vouchers, advice and support. Some of the auberges left a little to be desired but the wildlife, locations, experiences and activities were all superb. Thank you so much for a great week.
A good trip with some avoidable problems.
Much of the trip was quite good. I have a few items I think need to be noted.
1. Aux Portes du Soliel in Saint Paul was clean and the people were nice. However, the room was ultra small and opened directly to the outside. As a single woman, I felt vulnerable with that access to my room. My agent knew I was traveling alone and an older female. She should have suggested other accommodations. She also knew I did not need the cheapest possible accommodations. I had upgraded several other places.
2. Quebec City should have been my last stop. I could have returned the car and flown from there. I would have saved car rental and parking fees. There was no point in driving to Montreal. It was a long a miserable drive and I had already driven all of those roads. My itinerary said it was a two hour drive. It was almost 4 hours. This was not traffic. It took me more than three hours to get to the outskirts of Montreal and I drove over the speed limit the entire time. I had allowed extra time, but I would have missed my plane if I had allowed 3 hours based on your 2 hour information. The car drop off was noted as off site, but no location or address was given. I had to go into the rental car part of the airport to get directions. It also cost me extra time when I was already late. I feel this was very bad advice. It was a waste of energy and money to return to Montreal and very stressful. There was no reason to make this drive.
If you pretend to be a travel agency, you need to consider individual needs and be more creative.
3. I enjoyed most of my trip, and most of the hotels were great. I did not like my room at Auberge de Batteurs - also for location reasons. They changed it for a small fee and I had a great room with a great view.

An unforgettable stay
(Translated by Google) We experienced two timeless weeks thanks to this trip: magnificent landscapes that inspire respect, beautiful and generous nature, cities imbued with American and European cultures. Beyond all that, we discovered open, friendly people who were always ready to help or chat with us.
In terms of visits, it would be difficult to rank them because everything was top-notch: seaplane flight, black bear safari, guided tours of Montreal and Quebec City. For the visit to Montreal, we had the privilege of having a dedicated guide and therefore a completely customized itinerary. What can we say about the welcome at the airport which delighted the whole family. The accommodations were also very good in terms of location, services, and hospitality. We particularly enjoyed the stay in Mauricie for its 'immersion in nature' aspect, but again, this is not a ranking but rather an additional note.
All of this would not have been possible without the support and professionalism of Authentik Canada! From reviewing the itinerary with our knowledgeable advisor to the travel plan and reservations, we only had good surprises! 1000 thanks to our advisor and the entire Authentik Canada team as well as its partners.

That was magical!
(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful road trip in Quebec. The scenery was magnificent and the accommodations were incredible! Thank you!
I recommend
(Translated by Google) This is the 2nd time I have entrusted the organization of a trip to Canada with Authentik Canada. We are very satisfied because the organization of our road trip corresponded exactly to what we had requested, especially in terms of accommodation. We received all the necessary information for the preparation and execution of our trip.
Sublime road trip
(Translated by Google) Our trip went very well, we traveled 2150km from Ottawa to Tadoussac. Magnificent landscapes, very friendly inhabitants. The rental car was perfectly comfortable and spacious. It was the second time I traveled with Authentik Canada and I highly recommend them.
Very satisfied
(Translated by Google) All of our reservations were of very good quality. The various encounters we had were very enriching. The car rental you arranged for us with Thrifty was without any reproach.
We have nothing but praise for Marie Michèle for her support, her help, and her follow-up.
We've already added a trip to Western Canada to our schedule with AUTHENTIC CANADA.
Thank you for everything.

An unforgettable trip to Canada!
(Translated by Google) A huge thank you for this superb two-week trip to Canada! The organization was impeccable, the explanations clear at each stage, and the accommodations and activities perfectly chosen. We particularly appreciated the diversity of the places visited between Montreal, Quebec City, the Saguenay, and the Mauricie region. An unforgettable experience.
Wonderful road trip despite the mixed weather.
(Translated by Google) We enjoyed the welcome in the hostels and apartments or hotels. The comfort was variable and sometimes the amenities were of lower quality than what one might expect for the price.
We found that the hotel room in Shawinigan offered by the agency was jarring due to its large capacity and impersonal style.
A wow country
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful country, magnificent landscape, exceptional excursion (whale, natural park, bear...). The inhabitants are very welcoming, pleasant, and patient. Beware, life is very expensive, which is a shame, taxes + tips increase the bill enormously, and for my taste, I find that there are many tourist traps that pollute the city centers and large cities (Quebec, Montreal).
The organization with Authentik Canada was very good, no problems with reservations throughout the stay, the upfront work was well executed and the given budget was respected, their call service is prompt and manages to solve a problem very quickly which is pleasant to fully enjoy the stay.
An area for improvement in communication would be to have a call 48-72 hours before departure to address any needs if necessary and to be sure that everything is in order. And to be much more precise in the roadbook, especially regarding meeting point addresses for excursions.
But overall, I recommend Authentik Canada if you want to travel around this magnificent and vast country.

Exceptional trip
(Translated by Google) Thanks to Authentic Canada. We had wonderful days in Quebec. The organization is perfect. From beginning to end, no problems, only pleasure. The campsites are perfect and the tour guides are all passionate people who love sharing the love of their territory with us. I recommend this agency for its organization, its professionalism, its follow-up, and its responsiveness and availability.

5 days to discover the Saguenay Fjord
(Translated by Google) This road trip allowed us to discover the Saguenay Fjord and a "little bit" of Lac Saint-Jean. We loved the Pic Bois outfitter. At each stop, we were greeted very warmly. However, one small downside. The distance between Petit-Saguenay and Saint-Félicien is too great. We spent too much time on the road, to the detriment of the zoo and the village of Val-Jalbert. We couldn't make any stops between the two points. It might be wise to put accommodation closer to La Baie or Chicoutimi.
[...]
Very positive feedback
(Translated by Google) Wonderful trip, we were amazed. We will keep an excellent memory. Everywhere we were very well received, conviviality, very human exchanges, very easy contact, extraordinary breakfast. Thanks to Authentik Canada for this wild circuit tour. Claude and Mano.
Intense and unforgettable experience
(Translated by Google) Difficult to discover Quebec in 10 days, but the itinerary proposed by Véronique allowed us to see a beautiful array of what the "Belle Province" has to offer, even though I am well aware that there is still so much to visit or revisit in another season.
In conclusion, we had an unforgettable stay and came back with our heads full of wonderful memories.

Very good road trip
(Translated by Google) Very well spent.
A dream trip
(Translated by Google) Superb experience,
We were able to stay in different places and we particularly enjoyed the Auberge Saint-Mathieu, a timeless place with a view of the lake and canoe available (well located near La Mauricie National Park, which is magnificent).
All the proposed activities exceeded our expectations, we were able to see a blue whale in Tadoussac, or even zipline at Canyon Ste-Anne, and visit a Hydro-Québec power station in the same week.
Thank you for this stay which will remain etched in our memories!!

An extraordinary journey
(Translated by Google) Everything was perfect from A to Z. Marion was able to meet our expectations and in a very short time! We spent 12 incredible days in all our destinations. We simply fell in love with Quebec.
In Mauricie
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful trip. Perfect organization. The accommodations were all perfectly clean and welcoming. A few remarks: - The motel La Croisière (very clean and welcoming) was however too far from Tadoussac. The transport made us lose time and it was very noisy (road work). - The Saint-Félicien zoo: not very interesting if there are no children. The train tour is disappointing. The detour to Lac Saint-Jean, in retrospect, could have been avoided in order to favor Tadoussac or Quebec City. We are delighted with our trip and enchanted with the organization. A big thank you. See you soon for a winter trip. Isabelle, Benoît, and Albane.

Beautiful discovery of Quebec's nature.
(Translated by Google) Intense program concocted by Véronique which allowed the whole family to discover Quebec: Omega Park, the cities of Montreal and Quebec City, the lakes of Lanaudière, the splendid La Mauricie National Park, the magic of the Saguenay Fjord at Anse Saint-Jean, the feeling of being close to the whales at Escoumins....
An unforgettable stay between Montreal and Quebec City
(Translated by Google) A sublime journey between Montreal, Upper Mauricie, Lake Saint Jean, Tadoussac and Quebec City. Among these "postcard-perfect" routes, we will particularly remember:
_ a timeless stay at the Seigneurie du Triton;
_ an encounter with Pixel and Eline, two humpback whales that followed the boat in Tadoussac;
_ a night by the fire, in front of the moon and the reflections of the Saguenay Fjord.
The support of our travel specialist (Emilie) was invaluable in making this trip simple and more than enjoyable.

Wonderful organization, availability, and attention to detail
(Translated by Google) We admired the organization's handling, the quick contact methods and Skype, the very fast response times to our questions, the flexibility with the few changes requested, the attention to detail (gas station near the vehicle return, etc.), not to mention Alyssa's kindness. We feel totally confident.
Our trip was magnificent, we admired everything and a special medal for the kindness of the Canadians which touched us deeply.
Small things to follow up on: Hotel Art C3 in Quebec City: change of management? They seem overwhelmed and not very aware (parking not reserved for us among other things, multitasking and overwhelmed staff at breakfast).
L'auberge du jardin in Petit-Saguenay: change of ownership since June. Nice young girls but no reception (key on the door) and limited staff presence on site.

A beautiful organization for my vacation in Quebec
(Translated by Google) Not knowing Quebec at all, I had the good idea to consult Authentik who suggested a sightseeing itinerary, accommodations, and a car rental. The platform for choices is very user-friendly for choosing the route and accommodations. The responses to my questions were fast. In real life, once there, everything corresponded to what had been described to me previously.
Bravo
[...]
Very satisfied
(Translated by Google) 2 nights per stop is too short. You need to spend at least 3 nights there.
Sailing on the Saguenay very good. Can be done in one or more days.
The accommodations very good and good reception.
I have a reservation about Le Baluchon, which is more suited to a longer stay than a stopover for hiking in La Mauricie National Park.
Excellent organization!! Very beautiful trip!!!
(Translated by Google) We were particularly impressed by the quality of service we received. Everything went smoothly, no hiccups. For someone who has lived in Canada for years and doesn't like organizing vacations, this was the perfect option! The landscapes were magnificent, the accommodations were clean, and we were very well received. The information and advice provided in our roadbook were very useful. In short, everything was great! Thank you very much Véronique Blanchette for all your hard work! We will certainly call on you again for future trips! [...]
Magnificent discovery
(Translated by Google) Very happy to have chosen Canada and Authentika Canada! Don't hesitate any longer! Go for it!
An unforgettable stay
(Translated by Google) The stay was very successful, very well organized. Top-notch accommodations. It was GREAT. The travel time could sometimes be very long, but it was done according to the locations, nothing to complain about.
