Family vacation in Canada

(Translated by Google) Everything was spot on but the Discount car rental is not up to par.

(Translated by Google) Reactivity and relevance of the counsellor’s responses; upstream. This established a climate of trust. We have not been disappointed. We slept the last night near the Montreal airport at the Quality Inn. The staff is friendly but the hotel is really run down, below what we have had so far.

Our greetings to; the Triton outfitter team. Each person fulfilled their role with energy and kindness. Congratulations to; all for this teamwork. [...]

(Translated by Google) The choice of accommodation, very typical, in particular: Pourvoirie du Triton, Hutoppia Tents and Condos

(Translated by Google) Big plus for Discovery and organization. Thanks to; Virginie Alessi for the perfect general organization. Everything went well; as planned but the return journey and the information of the delays was a calamity. However, this is completely independent of your organization. For the rest, there is not much. perhaps an extra day should have been preferred. Montreal and remove the stop at Charlevoix which did not bring big thing. [...]

(Translated by Google) Our best memory is undoubtedly the Nemiskau outfitter. Michel Germain and David have both been very available and helpful. It was a magical exchange between different cultures. Michel spoke to us; of his Native American culture with passion and has made with my children "dream catchers" in his spare time. David taught us how to fishing and we went back in the afternoon on his free time too! Just memorable!

We liked less the fact that we left St Félicien after the visit to the zoo to sleep at; Anse St Jean and that the next day we drive the kilometers back to see the show La Fabuleuse at La Fabuleuse. Saguenay. I think it's all about makes it possible to do the trip to the zoo and the show on the same day. Sleep at; Saguenay and leave the next morning for Anse St Jean. It's just a matter of miles!
[...]

(Translated by Google) A change of scenery with places in the middle of nature but also hotels well located in the cities.

Breakfasts were not included in most hotels (I had not noted this fact during the quote and it considerably increases the cost of the trip).

Thank you to the two people who managed my file: first Ms. Ouellet then Ms. naïr answered my questions. all my questions, precisely and quickly ... but in general, also to all the people we met during the trip gave us complete satisfaction. [...]

(Translated by Google) The best: Pourvoirie du Triton: catering, activities, entertainers. Night with the caribou and visit of the Saint-Felicien zoo.

The least: Housing level, Auberge des berges àgrave; Saint-Felicien for its very old-fashioned appearance. La Pourvoirie du triton because too many groups (fishermen) were making noise from 6:30 in the morning! But we would still like to nominate Olivier from the Pourvoirie du triton because he is very friendly, he gives information to everyone. profusion and is available. [...]

(Translated by Google) What we liked the most : Pourvoirie Nemiskau, lodging at; Val Jalbert, and safaris.

What we liked least : The accommodation and the stage of La Baie: too far from the activity; "Family Kayaking", I had to cancel the Kayak trip so as not to leave the hotel my wife (shoulder injury) alone without a car, my daughter could have stayed with her and spent time in the Spa but the spas are forbidden for children (my daughter is 11 ). In addition I asked if it was possible to replace the kayak for my wife and daughter with a small cruise and there was not even an attempt, only annoyance. In Tadoussac I askedé two separate bedrooms for more comfort and I was asked to $400! Supplement for two communicating rooms without wi-fi! (For me a little scam). Sofa beds are not suitable for a tall, burly adult with a child (the superior solution should take this into account).

Special mention for Stéphane (and children) Corinne -Francine- Emiliane and Michel from Pourvoirie Nemiskau. They have been fantastic and made the rain and ftoid look like human heat
[...]

(Translated by Google) Very well organized trip thanks to; our advisor. We posed Many questions before leaving, we instantly had specific answers which allowed us not to waste time on site.

Maybe the bedroom. Tadoussac was a little too small but we only spent it there. only one night so no problem. However, the room was very clean and the reception very satisfactory.

We appreciated our advisor Karine for her precise answers to your questions. our many questions. All hotels have been very good, cleanliness and welcome, particularly those of Baie Saint Paul and Quebec but a special mention to the "Suite Labellé", thanks to the services and to the its staff
[...]

(Translated by Google) The circuit was perfect, the organization with the well drawn road book; with travel documents, map and guides. I enjoyed to be able to contact Authentik Canada before and during the trip.

Unfortunately, the first GPS didn't work and it took us 2 hours to find it. leave Montreal. But Authentik Canada sent us some. another to a next stop and we were able to continue our journey without incident.

We particularly liked the Auberge Saint Mathieu for the quality; for the exceptional welcome and cuisine and the Pourvoirie du Triton for the openness, kindness and hospitality of the owner, which make this place one of the best memories of the trip.

[...]

(Translated by Google) The fact of being able to organize my trip myself (adjustable in relation to your basic program) and the organization to recover the car and the hotels. A very good contact with our advisor!

It's a pity that we can't reserve the baby bed. because in each establishment, it was necessary to ask it... only one place, we didn't get it because another couple had booked it; before us... One place doesn't really appeal to me: the Cap au Leste outfitter! The setting is magnificent (the Saguenay Fjord), but the finishes of the rooms leave it to be desired. to be desired (visible putty, creaky or non-closing door...), we did not have a room with a view of the Fjord, and the food was really not great, or even not good at all... Plus they made me pay $10 for the crib. by night !!!! I found this outrageous price!!!! Everywhere else it was lent to us. !

On the other hand, we would like to thank all the staff of Pourvoirie du Triton. The setting of this outfitter is just exceptional!!! Despite the bites of small black flies and mosquitoes, we spent an excellent stay with them! ALL the staff are absolutely lovely. And the meals were excellent !!! Fine, refined... a real delight! The other places were all very good (with the exception of the Cap au Leste outfitter), and we were very happy with it. very well received by everyone. Thank you for this wonderful trip :)
[...]

(Translated by Google) Thank you for the very good service. The speed answers to; our many questions and requests. The friendliness of Marie Michèle Ouellet and the team.

A voucher was missing from our documents but we received it by fax at; our hotel the next day. We didn't like it. the car we rented. A honda civic with quite a few miles on it with an error message on the dashboard asking to have the car serviced. In addition it was not clean when rented. [...]

(Translated by Google) We loved it. the Triton outfitter at Lake Edouard. We have been very well received by the whole team, with little care for us. The place is beautiful and pleasant, despite mosquitoes (smile).

We had a small problem with the water level (car).

(Translated by Google) Everything was well coordinated, no problem with the different accommodations or the activities booked... The program was well adapted to the schedule. for a family with children and allowed us to discover many places and attractions Very good relationship with Karine from the agency...

One accommodation disappointed us: the B&B in Tadoussac... goodbye, cleanliness average, ... We did not like this accommodation... tadoussac would have been enough for us to be able to spend 2 days at the chalets du versant in Charlevoix...

Our guide Denis from the Bear Safari in Charlevoix provides quality service. listening to us, he explained to us; a lot about bears, with passion... He took a lot of time with us! He also talked to us about a lot of subjects about Canada and it was very interesting...
[...]

(Translated by Google) Very well organized trip, no unpleasant surprises on possible supplements to be paid. pay. The Canadian landscapes are magnificent, the hotels you recommend are pleasant and we liked the activities offered.

The guides that you give are good but they are not necessarily useful for big thing because you have to have prepared his trip before and so we already had; bought guides in France. Perhaps you could send them beforehand? The roadbook does not provide much information either. It remains very general and we would have liked a little more advice on the sites or restaurants nearby visit (for example, in Tadoussac, you recommend the boat). It's also not very personalized. (for car rental, there are instructions each time if you take and if you return the vehicle).
[...]

(Translated by Google) What was great: the freedom; of choice, dialogue with the advisor and her valuable advice. The inns and lodges were on the whole of very good quality; and the course corresponded to; our expectations.

Unfortunately, our last 2 days spent at Quebec have been tarnished by the reception at; the Hotel Château Laurier. Poor welcome, no explanation of how the hotel works, and above all: room unavailable! The reception offered us another room of the same type located at side very noisy air conditioning motors and works... We refused it for these reasons and finally had no choice but to accept an upgrade to a lower class room.. .! Very disappointed with this accommodation, the only one we had taken as a "standard" choice in our program. The "economy" type hostels were much more correct.
[...]

(Translated by Google) We liked it very much. the exchange with the adviser to prepare the trip, the very detailed road book; and complete, as well as the choice of hotels.

Nothing to do say transport level (the rental car was very good and spacious (practical for the suitcases in the trunk)).

The hotels were not always aware that breakfast was included in the accommodation (and in the vouchers it was not written explicitly , it might just be necessary to specify it on a separate line in the voucher). We did not have any problem because at agrave; each time we got what was scheduled; on our road book.

Activities very well. Many activities were mentioned in the road book and they were very interesting.

Very detailed travel diary and comprehensive (the GPS was even almost useless) and the route times matched well.

A well-prepared trip and well organized !

Thanks to; Jordan from the Pourvoirie seigneurie du Triton, an activity animator; to the very friendly and dynamic outfitter who shared with us their joy of living, their savoir-vivre and their love for nature. [...]

(Translated by Google) Whole file well prepared; with however some errors in the indicated kilometers (route of 12/09 announced at 164kms ald 300kms approximately). Proposals in accordance with; our expectations and range of very comfortable accommodation.

Transport: this is the critical point: cleanliness; very average interior of the vehicle: "sticky" controls, soiled vehicle logbook. noisy vehicle at the rear bearings, and low fuel autonomy. (48l max). cost of refueling initially charged to 72§!.. for a full?.. no info.

High quality accommodation both in hotels and in hostels with a downside to the Auberge des Berges à; St Félicien (noisy in the bathrooms). Kingston. very pleasant encounters at; saint mathieu du parc and at Cart.

Miles ïles: to do it once.., museum at; Ottawa: essential to understand many things afterwards, Mauricie Park: splendid and excursions to; TO DO! visit of st Elie de Caxton (to do!) region of lac saint jean: a little disappointing, with however a beautiful encounter at the mill of the pioneers, cap au leste: magnificent change of scenery!; Saint Rose of the North: at see!. Cruise on the Saguenay Fjord: in the rain and the cold.. too bad because the guide was top notch; Tadoussac without much interest if the cruise is not on the program; Malbaie and Baie Saint Paul region take the 362.. , Québec, a real tourist attraction, and the last stop in the road. Charrette, the culmination of hospitality wherever & ugrave; we passed.

Travel diary: very clear with the explanations necessary for the progress of our trip.

Organisation: No problems encountered. warm welcome everywhere. quality services (rooms and breakfasts) remarkable. Reviews: the cruise on the Saguenay Fjord takes us to the forced to make a loop of 4 hours of road and then return to; Heading for the ballast...

Thanks to; Johanne from Gîte la Tempérance for personalized contact, listening and sharing, the quality on duty ... [...]

(Translated by Google) Quality services offered.

On the other hand, at the accommodation level, 2 big black spots: - the deplorable reception at the hotel; accommodation in Montreal (after the plane trip, we waited 2 hours for our rooms which were not ready in the passage at the reception. As compensation, the hotel offered us a breakfast the next day - the windowless basement accommodation at the Auberge des Berges (the lady at the reception expressed that the guests were ready to accept the accommodation). based on photos. For our part, we would have refused to be accommodated like this in the cellar if we had been asked the question, we were very angry to these 2 nights with a skylight overlooking the car park)

Thanks to; our guide to rafting the J.Cartier River. The employee in question is the co-manager of this rafting company north of Quebec. He was funny, expert, lively... and gave us a wonderful afternoon (the prices are not given but we get what we pay for!). I would also like to nominate Claude Boivin for the night in tipee for his kindness and his sense of humor, and in general all the Quebecers we met ;s (funny and welcoming). [...]

(Translated by Google) Great flexibility to organize the trip exactly according to our wishes, as well as the documentation file with the road-book and all the attached documents and also the activity suggestions.

Directions on the road-book sometimes imprecise to find accommodation.

Some indications on the possibilities of restoration either in the accommodation itself or in the surroundings would be welcome: we had a very good surprise near the powerhouse Cap au Leste (farm inn) and a rather unpleasant experience in St Mathieu du Parc (Auberge du Red roof: unwelcoming and expensive for what it was). The rooms at the Cap au Leste outfitter are very noisy! This is a step that is less interesting than the others.

Fred, animator at the "teepee" at the Triton outfitter and Croisieres 2001. Fred is a very nice animator and a fascinating storyteller who introduces people to life in the forest, animals, trapping, etc... 2001 Cruises which had the Fair enough, after a 3 hour cruise in the fog, to offer us a voucher for a new trial valid for 1 year: we came back the next day under a bright sun and were able to really see the whales. [...]

(Translated by Google) Direct contact with locals (guides,....), authentic aspect of spaces and places visited.

Some imprecise itineraries, such as an outfitter indicated at 3 km when you have to do 7. Maps to improve. GPS technology saves the day!!!!

In terms of activities, the fact of having taken additional options really made it possible to meet our expectations.

Well-structured travel diary and organization very well.
[...]

(Translated by Google) The speed for the organization of our trip at the last minute was great. The quality generally very good accommodation. The documentation provided is very complete. The welcome of all Quebecers.

There was no GPS available at; the rental agency. Also, the Auberge des 21 for which the roda map announced a free swimming pool which does not exist! Instead a paid mini jacuzzi. Ditto for the hotel The farm or swimming pool / jacuzzi is announced free and is paying.

The site of Val-Jalbert not very interesting even if the staff is extremely welcoming.

Some direction errors in the roadmap and inconsistency between the map provided and the road map.

Lac St Jean and Val-Jalbert could have been avoided to give more time for other more interesting places

Thanks to; Delphine from the Nemiskau outfitter for her kindness, her dynamism, her knowledge of nature, her humor, ... she is perfect! [...]

(Translated by Google) We really enjoyed it very much. the stay at the Lordship of the Triton. There is a particularly friendly mountain lodge atmosphere with lots of activities available. arrangement. We are pampered throughout the stay. To do absolutely. Also a favorite for the stay in a chalet in the Jacques Cartier National Park. These two parts would have deserved Let's spend a few more days there. In terms of car rental, organization and the roadbook, it was perfect, no worries.

It is possible to return the vehicle directly to the agency near the Montreal airport. The rental company takes us back by shuttle to the airport. It was for us. indicated by the lessor to; taking charge of the vehicle and could be noted. on the road book.

In certain establishments we were installed; in a room for 2 people with an extra bed, which is not very comfortable: auberge des berges - Vébron house - Most establishments advertise wifi when it is practically impossible to connect to; their network.

We have a mixed opinion; on the activity "night with the caribou". On the one hand pleasant and convivial for the evening in a prospector's tent, but very short walk in the forest and in a canoe, after the Seigneurie du triton it is a bit light. And also a little overrated and comedy for the midday meal part at "Marguerite" where there is not much authentic, the self-service menu served in a reconstruction setting, not decorated. nice but could do better.

It would be necessary to check some mileage indications which seemed to us to be erroneous. And also review the directions for the trip to Jacques Cartier National Park. After 33 km on the 175N highway, simply take the exit signposted Parc National de la Jacques Cartier - La Vallée. The indication boulevard Talbot is misleading because there is a boulevard Talbot exit but it is much closer to Quebec. At the National Park exit, there is no mention of Boulevard Talbot or Rue des Anémones. The only thing signposted is national park road.

Afterwards, I will have appreciated to eliminate the stages of one night, because they leave little time for the visit and lengthen the stays like those of the seigniory of the triton or the park Jacques Cartier or even Quebec. Also, the somewhat long journey between the zoo and the Vebron house leaves almost no time to visit everything in the zoo that has not been visited. seen with the caribou stay. Or, in the Caribou stay, it would be necessary to reduce the time devoted to it. to visit the facilities and replace it with the visit to the zoo.

Thanks to; the whole team of the lordship of the triton, more particularly the person who took care of us and became attached to our work. prevent and satisfy our every wish. It is truly an unforgettable experience. [...]

(Translated by Google) Accommodation most often corresponded to our expectations: -the 2 outfitters where we went (Nemiskau where the cuisine was exceptional and the environment very exotic, Cap au Leste where the setting was magnificent, but the cuisine was not great) -the "feather" adventure Blanche" at Lac St Jean: very welcoming host (Claude Boivin) who had to heart to make us discover the Amerindian culture: it was a very enriching experience, recommend - the advice given for accommodation (hotel Tadoussac) and the "whale excursion" at; Tadoussac - globally balanced circuit with discoveries of very beautiful regions, a good mix of "cities (Montréal, Quebec) and nature.

RAS at the transport level, very happy with our rental car at Avis

Hotel "du jardin" at Lac St-Jean: no charm (yet classified in the "charm" category) quality; reception: zero. We would have preferred spend 2 nights in a teepee at Claude Boivin's, whereù the setting is magnificent and very well appointed; (there is also the possibility of "hard" accommodation, in small heated houses if necessary).

Well done travel diary, àgrave; review: travel times, especially for access to certain outfitters (I am thinking of the Nemiskau outfitter where the road is not paved, in the ground: we took 4 hours instead of the 8 indicated...).

Very good organization. A huge thank you to; Claude Boivin of Aventure Plume Blanche for the enriching experience, a lot of sincerity; in his way of sharing his culture, concern for hospitality and accommodation. [...]

(Translated by Google) So many things we loved !!! First, authenticity, simplicity; and sincerity, availability; and the sense of service of all the people we met. There has never been a problem...only solutions! We particularly appreciated the night in a rustic cabin as well as the observation of the bear. Jules and his wife are very welcoming and warm. The chalet is...rustic in style. wish and Denis is an exceptional guide in bear watching, authentic, available, passionate; and inexhaustible on the subject, nature and Quebec. We also liked it very much. observe whales in a zodiac. Note that the cruise to 7 a.m., which seemed too early to us at the start, is really at hand. recommend as there are less boats at the viewing site. The Triton outfitter is also an unforgettable experience. Although there are small improvements to the bring to the level of quality accommodation especially in the rooms of the club house, the whole team has a sense of welcome and service...they know how to receive! multiple activities are offered and the people who run them love what they do, they are a mine of information, from advice to stories to tell. to tell about.

At the level of accommodation, at; the hotel du Jardin the quality accommodation is good, but it is charmless, located in a place that also lacks charm or particular appeal, the welcome and service are completely impersonal.

The cruise on the fjord at Anse Saint Jean is expensive in view of the little interest it has.

The travel diary is very useful and well detailed. We would have liked even more tips on what to do not to be missed on the way or around us once there.

Excellent organization. A special mention to; Karine BEAUDIN, who has not spared his efforts to organize an all-in-one circuit for us; made in accordance with our wishes and our tastes, as we made up our minds very shortly before departure. She replied to; all our questions...and God knows there were many...with sincerity, clarity, patience, kindness and availability. The success of this trip is largely due to her and she deserves the "distinction" service, but I don't have room for two people!!!

Thanks to; Denis from bear watching. Passionate and exciting, with the desire to transmit his knowledge, of the bear of course but also of other animals, to share his culture, to exchange. Thank you for allowing us to meet him. This man is a real nugget! [...]

(Translated by Google) We liked the organization of Authentique in reservations and proposals.

Canadream asks for a security deposit of $750, they are very late in giving the motorhomes. Some campsites are poorly positioned in relation to the route and require you to; retrace our steps after doing an activity.

Canadian campsites are very well organized and everything is sized. for motorhomes.

The activities were very good, reservations made at advance. No problem on presentation of vouchers.

The explanations of the travel diary are clear and the details on the activities and schedules of the campsites are important.

We would like to thank Sarah Arsenault from Autenthik cananda. Sarah knew how to understand my request, she made me suggestions on activities. She offered me to take more km for the motorhome and I did well to follow her, for I left only 100 km out of 2100 km to the rental company. [...]

(Translated by Google) Excellent for file follow-up. Bémol on accommodation Hôtel du jardin à; Saint Félicien and SEPAQ chalet at; River Éternity

(Translated by Google) Authentik Canada: Speed of exchange, customization of the estimate according to our expectations, the friendliness of our interlocutor. Superb accommodations!!! Great moments at the Triton, Condo Natakam, Maison de Vébron and Hotel des 1&eregrave;res nations (even if the spa is out of order). Milking (1st Nations restaurant): divinely good (dinner)!!! beautiful (the room)!!! Gargantuan and delicious breakfasts in the morning, caring staff (except at reception). Super cruise: cruise 2001 we will recommend!! Too bad we didn't have any surprises (e.g. upgrade for our wedding anniversary) like another couple we met. on the path that made a circuit with you.

Nothing to do again, very good pace for the circuit! Clean car, no bad surprises!

Les Portes du Soleil: very large room! but average contact and breakfast. Sacacomie: DISASTER!!! Hobby and surroundings: MAGNIFICENT, heavenly, but room: very simple, very rustic/classic (2 stars)!!! questionable lake view: view of the café terrace, leaning well through the only small window you could see the lake !!! Ridiculous bathroom (all plastic, no pressure to rinse your hair), no decoration in the room, no air conditioning, no alarm clock, in short not worthy of a 4 star. Staff (apart from 2 waitresses on the last day and the beach attendant) impersonal, not smiling, detached, moreover, we don't ask you how it went. the stay!! they know the answer!!! There reigns a very bad atmosphere, an atmosphere of concrete screed, which threatens to fall to the ground. each moment ! The manager who places in the restaurant is undrinkable !!! surely a big problem in the hotel!!! We weren't the only unhappy ones (apart from those who had a nice suite like on their website) everyone was disappointed with our experience. hear people talking! See tripadvisor opinion since July (which we have consulted since our visit! There are 1 or 2 which sums up the situation well... BIG DISAPPOINTMENT for the price! SPA paying and very very expensive!!! (I offered it to myself + a treatment) it should be free at least when you do a treatment and less expensive for the others! SPA: magnificent! You can forward my comment if you want to Sacacomie but I think that they don't care!!! one thing is sure, we had to come back in winter, çit won't be at their place!!!

Great activities! the cruise was awesome, the guide super professional, we were very lucky! nothing to do say about the activities!

Nothing to do say: SUPER travel diary, BRAVO! Organization: Nothing to worry about; say: CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN.

Thanks to; Denis of the House of Vébron. He is very kind, helpful, attentive in short!!! memorable! I would also like to add another person: LOVE du Triton (our guide: a love of a person who shares his passion for nature and also adapts to children! Other people were also charming, but it was these 2 the ones that come to mind first!!! [...]

(Translated by Google) Availability, flexibility and excellent advice.

À improve: La Ferme 5 Stars (compared to being housed in Tadoussac) / Auberge des 2 Pignons (very "old-fashioned").

Val Jalbert. The accommodation was impeccable but the activity is a little too amusement park for our taste... We stayed for a short time then we went to discover the very beautiful zoo of St F&élicien .

Apart from the travel diary not received, nothing to change. Contact with Sarah was easy and made it possible to adapt the program according to needs.

Thank you to the staff of Pourvoirie Nemiskau and Aventure Plume Blanche

Nemiskau: particularly warm welcome from the managers and the activity leader. Exceptional site.

Plume Blanche: real sharing on a small piece of the life of the Amerindians. [...]

(Translated by Google) La Seigneurie du Triton: total change of scenery, beauty from nature to breathtaking, memories of the first morning in the world at the Tipis (favorite experience for children), fantastic hotel team Les Condos Natakam: exceptional location on the banks of the Saint Laurent, vision of awe-inspiring whales, unforgettable sunset lights.

Black bear safari, too long and boring Whale safari by catamaran, not worth it (half of us 4 did the zodiac safari, fabulous!)

Thanks to; Frédéric de la Seigneurie du Triton for the authentic experience with this woodsman, great generosity; and professionalism of this teepee manager at the Inusit Village [...]
