Gaspesie road trip
Beautiful 1st discovery of Quebec.
(Translated by Google) Very good contact with our advisor (Sophie) during the preparation of the trip. Very well designed roadbook. The accommodation offered is of good quality; generally. No problem in pre-bookings (ferry, hikes, hotels).
Very good presence of our service provider (authentikcanada) during our calls for additional information.
Very good memories of our Quebec cousins
(Translated by Google) Well organized trip, comfortable and very well placed accommodation (stunning views), a well documented road book.
A serious agency that I recommend.
Awesome! Excellent contact, superb addresses
(Translated by Google) An exceptional trip made thanks to the professionalism and excellent organization of Authentik Canada. A travel agency with small onions, at; listening and knowing his job. We had traveled with Authentik Canada in 2004 and it was already there. a treat. If we were to come back to Canada we would still choose Authentik Canada. Karine, our advisor, really did an excellent job. We come back to; home with over 1300 photos! [...]
Well organized trip despite a very late request on my part
very nice trip, excellent welcome
(Translated by Google) travel can be done without an agency
(Translated by Google) Very nice trip in general, magnificent landscapes, parks, lakes, forests, small and large rivers...
Maybe too many kilometers (+ 3000 km); it would be necessary to stay several days on 4 points maximum (Parc du Bic, Percé+Forillon, Parc de gaspésie, Tadoussac).
To see again in other seasons.
Enjoy, dear cousins :-)
A very nice trip!
great trip, beautiful scenery
(Translated by Google) very well organized trip, both for accommodation and for activities
nice trip but a bit disappointed
(Translated by Google) Nice trip but we remain a little on our hunger. Maybe we were expecting too much from this trip because the previous one was just perfect
Our opinion is anything but negative
Fabulous and unforgettable trip!
(Translated by Google) We loved it. the tour of the Gaspésie as well as its gastronomy. We advise you to discover Gaspé;sie. Tadoussac, Lac Saint Jean, Saguenay Fjord, Quebec and Montreal are also very exotic. And above all, life is good in Quebec, the people are welcoming and warm.
Like on wheels
(Translated by Google) Just perfect ! A studied roadbook before our departure with Gabrielle and who was to lived up to our expectations. It was us; Handed over on our first night and it was really, really well built. An A4 size notebook with binding with useful and valuable dividers. The vouchers (vouchers for overnight stays and activities) are on detachable vouchers (super practical). There is a divider for what there is to do and see at each destination, another for restaurant/cafés/bar advice. A divider with the route of the day and the detailed map with the itinerary. Another with traffic rules. A road map with the route we were doing highlighted. In short, a thorough job. and well done on the part of our travel consultant. Finally, the places selected for our stay were really good (with one exception). all those who are looking for a beautiful trip without a tour operator but being well informed so as not to get lost or be mistaken [...]
(Translated by Google) Well-balanced journeys, which allows you to take full advantage of the moments spent on site. But it seems to me that we have made modifications with respect to; the base frame.
(Translated by Google) Very good organization!
Advice: warn when an inn or a lodging is in an area where there are very few shops, banks,...
Also, we are not hikers. This circuit offers a lot of national parks and therefore hikes.
From surprise to surprise...
(Translated by Google) Circuit ideal for follow, without any unpleasant surprises...only good and interesting discoveries.No headache.Just follow the map and the roadbook which gives all the necessary information.The GPS is even ;me already configured...Authentik is really very professional and you can see that all the steps have been taken care of. visited by their services before sending their customers there. Overall, hostels were much more friendly and "authentic" than hotels.
We would like to try again the experience with Authentik USA within 2 years...

What happiness!
(Translated by Google) Wonderful trip, the 5th in Quebec, always with Authentik Canada. The organization is always impeccable and the accommodation chosen is of high quality. For us, not the slightest reproach to; formulate, except that the time passes too quickly.
Very well organized trip.
(Translated by Google) Well-prepared roadbook; and precise. Perfectly orchestrated reservations.
A special note for the kindness and availability; by Karine.
A very nice trip
(Translated by Google) We liked it very much. this tour in Quebec, the road book was very well done and contained a wealth of useful information.
Very good quality hotels and the very warm welcome of the hoteliers as always in your beautiful province, moreover we benefited from room with a view of the St Laurent or the sea, which is rather rare in this type of organized tour.
The only problem encountered occurred at Bic and almost pushed us. to call you for help.
Indeed, our bank cards (three) have started to run out. to be refused by all the merchants, restaurateurs and others, which was very annoying.
It seems that some merchants refuse credit cards at any time. delayed flow; and prefer cards to immediate flow.
Fortunately everything is settled. to the next step.
In summary, a great trip, we can only recommend your services to; our friends and acquaintances.
Thank you again for this organization.

satisfying journey
(Translated by Google) We spent a pleasant stay despite the weather.... :-( the accommodations were very good. we were well received. the only negative point is that it was our honeymoon, we would have appreciated little attentions in the hostels..... and during our flight with Air Transat.
(Translated by Google) Quality of the circuit and quality accommodation offered as well as the people met during the proposed activities. The advice of Virginie Alessi and her logistical assistance during the resolution of problems encountered due to negligence on my part regarding personal bank cards. It is necessary to inform people who come from Europe or elsewhere that it is necessary to identify their credit card on Canadian territory when going to withdraw money from the bank. an ATM for the card to be valid, before any other operations, in particular car rental. It makes things much simpler.
There is only one accommodation where we found cleanliness from the unsatisfactory breakfasts to the because of pets present in the accommodation. Pet hair everywhere, especially in the prepared ingredients and on the table. It was at the Maison des rives àgrave; La Malbaie. The roadbook is very well done but if possible, the first pages should be sent to future customers before departure to be able to obtain valuable information up to the first accommodation where they can be found. the briefcase was waiting for us with reservations and documentation.
A huge thank you to; Maral Tebrejian, District Manager Avis at; Montreal... I arrived in Canada with two credit cards, one to three. my name which was unfortunately at Maturity for 1 month and another in the name of my daughter but of which I also hold. Despite this and for a technical reason (credit card not identified on Canadian territory), the company Avis car rental could not register the deposit for the rented car. Despite the whole person in charge of the airport office whom I also thank allowed us to take the car but against the promise to solve the problem of the card within 48 hours. He informed his boss. But we did not manage to get a new credit card quickly my name within 48 hours. It was therefore the head of the district who took the decision to let us continue our trip without wasting time, against the sole guarantee of a card number and a certificate from my daughter authorizing me to travel. use their credit card. We were therefore able to respect the schedule of our circuit with Authentik Canada.

(Translated by Google) Very relevant travel tips and suggestions. Very precise roadbook. Contact with advisors very easy.
We need more information on the orientation of the rooms. We have sometimes been lives in a basement with no view. A little oppressive!
The Gite in the shelter of the bell tower; Nouvelle enjoys an incredible setting, the breakfast is memorable and the family contact.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Use of the essential and clear roadbook except for one activity. where we had a misunderstanding. We were able to reach our advisor despite the absence of a network, she was able to reassure us and provide us with the right information. The activities were of good quality.
/>
It would be interesting to receive the complete roadbook by e-mail before the trip because it contains essential information that we do not necessarily have time to consult when we arrive. After everything is linked and we have for example missed some of your advice in this guide. That's a shame ! This roadbook is very well done but we missed time to read it all. Accommodation: Le Roberval: good value, very well located. Auberge du lac: Perfect, nothing to worry about; say. To recommend. We regret not having stayed there one more night. Room with magnificent view, dinner meal and exceptional breakfast! probably the best of the 2. Welcoming, attentive staff; and warm. Auberge du Bic: It is absolutely necessary to avoid; your customers that the owner gives the Ardennes room. This room is unsanitary. Bathroom unusable. My wife cut herself opening the bathtub faucet which was rusty. and broken. Broken shower head, chipped bathtub, sink that was a tiny hand basin. Broken dryer. Unusable coffee maker, noisy fridge that we had to unplug. On the 2nd day we went to shower in the bathroom of my son's room which was of better quality. Breakfast very good, plentiful and of very good quality. with fresh and homemade products. Very friendly staff. Riotel: Note that people on a package are taken for pariahs. In this hotel everything is done to make the customer consume without warning him of the extras. If we had not asked explanations on the operation of the package it would have counted on us; all the extras! We were nevertheless trapped; at breakfast, we took 3 orange juices that we had to pay $10! The waitress did not explain the subtlety to us. ! coffee or juice! We find this unacceptable, charging for orange juice that was not even squeezed! chemical and bad juice! We were able to notice that we were not the only ones to be unhappy! At the table it's even annoying, they offered us insistently and at the same time. several times the purchase of wine, bottled water or other paid drinks of course! The behavior of the staff in this establishment is venal and hypocritical! Inn under the trees: Very nice establishment, tastefully decorated! small downside, our room was located in the basement with the only view of an earthen embankment. to 1 meter! horrible ! we couldn't see the sky, we felt like we were in a bunker! Extremely depressing! luckily we didn't go there. only one night. Tiny breakfast room, my son had to eat lunch alone. a table far from ours for lack of space. No effort has been made. made to bring 2 tables together. We found very limited the buffet ! You had to ask because nothing was renewed. Gîte du mont Albert: Very good and refined meals but the quantity is very limited. Drinks at the bar are exorbitant! 2 beers for $23 without tip! These are the most expensive beers we have consumed! even with us in France as a tourist site, it's cheaper! Otherwise this establishment is located in a magnificent location and we were able to appreciate the beauty of places. To be redone... Auberge la Rosepierre: certainly the worst establishment presenting no interest. Passable welcome by the owner, strange behavior...sect?? We slept at; 3 in a 10m² ! We had a hard time get our luggage in and be able to move around. The floor was dirty, uncleaned dust and questionable bed linen! to to forget ! Delta: Beautiful spacious and very comfortable room. Very nice gym and swimming pool area. No fridge in the room, for a 4* hotel this is surprising. Extra buffet breakfast! nothing to do say, nothing is missing and everything is very good. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Very expensive parking! $24 a night, we hadn't planned.
Special mention for Christelle, Stéphane and their son Valentin from Maison des Rives for their extremely warm and family welcome. We spent an evening with them in all simplicity but which will remain a very beautiful encounter. Despite simplicity accommodation we were able to appreciate the little attentions (fruit juice and chocolate) to; our arrival. Note that this is the only accommodation where we had that.

(Translated by Google) This was our third experience with Authentik Canada. Our advisor Karine Beaudin, has once again been particularly to our listening when to our expectations. She was able to guide us in our choices, adapt to our requests and make proposals that suited us perfectly. She was able to take into account our previous trips for the development of this new trip. She showed up very reactive in the face of our questions, and was of a very great kindness during our passage to; your offices. Developing this new self-tour with the same adviser, with whom a relationship of trust has been established has been a real plus. Ready for a 4th trip.... At the level of our accommodation: Overall they were more than correct and in line with our expectations. The owners of the cottages were very welcoming, and were helpful. the right reflection of hospitality and Quebec kindness. A special mention for La Pourvoirie Valga, where its owner Mr Gagné knew how to share with us his passion for his field, and took the time to help us discover it. He explained to us; how he was building a new cedar log cabin, and gave us a demonstration of how to prepare the logs that will be used for its manufacture. This even though we only spent one night at his house. Our activities: We particularly appreciated our meeting with Billy Rioux the woodsman, who knew how to share his love for nature and the life of the Canadians of yesteryear. It was a very good moment of sharing and exchanges which will be one of our favorites of this trip.
At the level of accommodation: A flat at the level of the lodging "the house of the shores" Pointe au Pic: Despite the sympathy of the owners, a few remarks: For the start of the tourist season, the hygiene was very approximate (dirty fittings at the level of the sink which we easily cleaned, many hairs and hairs in At breakfast, stained table sets not cleaned, crockery of dubious cleanliness, etc.) be a real problem for some people. Lionel to had to open the toilet door to be able to dry off! The prize goes to; l'Erablère du Lac-Beauport What a huge disappointment for us, who knew the Erablère du Cap, of which we have excellent memories. standard farce, a tourist trap as we hate them. The meal was of high quality. correct for a treehouse; sugar. We have been placed at the end of the table, separated; from another small group of Quebecers. The staff only addressed them. At the end of the meal, their only concern was to make us pay for the drinks!! as if we intended to leave without paying! What disappointed us the most was that it was a first discovery of a sugar shack for our family, and that we gave it away. more explanation in the car after our passage, than the explanations given by a supposed "guide" of the maple grove, his behavior clearly showed that he was "bored". His explanation lasted; 5mn, and was more than succinct, its only goal was to make us pass to; the shop, quickly, taking us for French pigeons, who do not know that there are several types of maple syrup! (light, medium, dark, among others). The taffy on the snow was also disastrous. This gentleman poured the hot syrup on the snow and told us "go ahead", without further explanation. to our family what to do with the wood rod!!! We think it would be better not to make a treehouse. sugar, rather than offering this one, it in no way reflects a real sugar shack; Quebec sugar.
We would like to nominate Billy Rioux and Eric Gagné (Valga Outfitter). We did not manage to divide them. Both were able to share their passions with us and made us live a memorable experience that we are not ready to forget. Obvious distinction to Karine Beaudin - Authentik canada, without whom all her beautiful encounters would not have been possible. possible.

(Translated by Google) We thank you for the nature circuit, magnificent, good road book and assured service. The stages were super beautiful and accommodation also except those described below.
The Auberge des Monts, difficult to sleep in, you could hear everything from the neighbors in the room upstairs, with those old creaking floors. while inviting us to go to sleep...and the village ditto, nothing to worry about; to do, everything was closed. 8:30 p.m.!!!! So two very sad and monotonous evenings. Not pleasant at all. The squirrel cottage, super nice but we still had to drive (we were tired) to eat in the evening. Preference to sleep in Charlevoix. The gîte la valga, well, super nice but the meal, too simple with ingredients in a jar...quickly done, well done...very cheap meal!!!!!
[...]
(Translated by Google) Everything was very well organized; : the journey, the excursions, the few stays at tables d'hôtes with people who are very available, welcoming and ready to help. to provide service, and the hotels where we went down. Too bad the fog at; Tadoussac prevented us from to see the whales!!!!
(Translated by Google) Exceptional experience! With our apologies for not having taken the time to answer you before for our trip from September 17 to October 10, 2014.
Unforgettable memories, the landscapes full of colors, the kindness and the calm of the people, your listening in particular Catherine Deschamps who with great kindness was to listening to our requirements, the roadbook.
We didn't like it. the lodging of the three streams for the person who has not stopped; to complain about everything, Micheline is old, she is fed up, that criticism of everyone when we told her that we were going to twilight she made a face while this gî was very good (great reception, room and breakfast) she has to stop doing this job.
Thank you to the owners of Tempérance, T&répuscule, Nature et Pinceaux, the Valga outfitter, and the Auberge la Fjordelaise. the hotel st Denis in Montreal and the Delta at; Quebec are very well located to visit without having to take the vehicle.
[...]
(Translated by Google) We liked the choice of the proposed course, and the variety, the quality; and originality accommodation offered. The quality of the organization, the precision of the Road book.
The accommodation in Tadoussac was the worst of all. The small room and there was no electrical outlet for the proposed devices (coffee maker and lamp). Also the Wifi was not working.
On the other hand, the reception in the various lodgings has always been very warm.
[...]
(Translated by Google) We traveled has 6 people, the trip showed itself; up to our expectations, from the start Karine our adviser knew how to take into account our desires our wishes. She was very reactive in the email exchanges. The road book showed itself very useful it has not left us of our stay, for visits and restaurants.
We have been disappointed by top adventure: a place not maintained by staff not very aware, 2 washing machines broken down on 3 no sale of detergent, a reservation of canoeë for the next day took at least a good hour before the person managed to validate our reservation; The accommodation was hidden. by abundant vegetation near the chalet, the sheets had not been washed. changed in the extra bed. The spa was not in working order as for the pool the chlorine pebbles were at the bottom on the floor which can be dangerous for young children. Our feeling is that the owner wants to offer too many things and can't manage to maintain everything.
Many thanks to; Éric from Domaine Valga, which is a super exotic, relaxing place, with a great team that takes great care. Many activities on site. Evenings chatting with Eric, we learned a lot. In a word, this place is worth the detour!!!
[...]
(Translated by Google) No problem with reservations for accommodation and activities. Guide well done for the road and ideas for visits. The ideas proposed are not always compatible with the program. The 1st-2nd day said to go to the Parc du Bic, but on the 1st day it was not possible in time and the next day it was not logical to go back to visit the Parc when we were there. tations at Domaine Valga, we did canoeing and acrobranch on board rather than having 2 hours round trip by car. [...]
(Translated by Google) During our trip we had the opportunity to measure the impact of Autentick Canada, the weight of your agency on your relays, which demonstrates your seriousness and the desire to work with you. Cheer !
When picking up the vehicle, we had little time spent. with the lessor. The vehicle itself had its front tires very worn (risk of puncture, risk of aquaplaning).
Accommodation very good overall, the best: wanta-qo-ti and the worst: rose petals (shared bathroom and a tiny room. Special mention: Pourvoierie de valga, despite the sharing 2 bathrooms Wc a 10, compensated in how much by the exceptional setting and the kindness of the owners.
Complete, well-detailed travel diary. No complaints. Organization level, congratulations continue as ça.
Congratulations also to the owner of the wanta-qo-ti for the quality. of the cottage, breakfast exceptional. He is a crisp and serene character.
