The West by RV
Trip and circuit a bit disappointing
(Translated by Google) Well until Jasper.
Then 3 nights in the wells gray park are useless, it's much too long!
Very pleasant trip
(Translated by Google) The proposed circuit guarantees to see the best spots in the area. There are magnificent must-sees like Lake Louise or the city of Vancouver. The stage between Wells Gray and Whistler is very long, it deserves to be cut if possible. The return of the motorhome before 10 a.m. at; Vancouver departing with the first ferry from Victoria is calculated just and forced to get up early. Very happy with our trip! [...]
Wonderful family trip to a very beautiful and particularly welcoming country
(Translated by Google) We particularly appreciated :
- The Authentik Canada organization
- Availability and reactivity of the team
- The Road Book
- Attention to the customer
which allowed us to make the most of the fabulous landscapes of Western Canada.
Note that we have extended the stay (+1 day in Banff / Jasper / Wells Gray / Whistler) to benefit from more visit time in the parks.

Very satisfied. No bad surprises: Everything went perfectly well.
(Translated by Google) Perfect organization, without surprises or disappointments: Flexibility in the determination of the program and great seriousness in its implementation. Authentik Canada accompanied us, even on Sunday, in our efforts to adapt our program following the fires in British Columbia.
Thanks.
Great family vacation!!
(Translated by Google) VR is an experience we loved. To visit the Rockies, this is the best formula. The organization was perfect. Thank you Marion!
discovery of the Canadian West in a motorhome, grandiose.
(Translated by Google) The master plan of the trip is excellent but with hindsight a little too condensed. It is a good compromise to discover the Canadian Rockies but all there is to discover. discover and to do would deserve to stop longer in the parks of: Banff, Jasper, Wells Gray and Whistler. Some of the hiking trails require at least 1 day or several days for the Athabaska Glaciers. With experience we would have zapped Vancouver Island or at at least the part near Victoria. In fact, the whole family prefers the hiking trails, not too busy (preferably, but more and more tourism), In Banff the Canadian beef dinner at "Bumper's The Beefhouse "Excellent, great welcome, super kind and available staff.
In Jasper in the "Mount Whistler" campground we had the chance to see, one morning when we jumped out of bed, a herd of Elk grazing in the middle of the RVs and then on the way from Jasper to Wells Gray, we had the chance to see black bears in a boat safari on the "Blue River".
For the motorhome at "Cruise Canada" very good reception but because of the big demand for this time of year the checking of the equipment is a bit light: in the kitchen equipment a stove, a cutting board was missing; cut, a vegetable peeler and the can opener was broken, in the toilets of the RV the tap aerator was missing and in fact the water was flowing on the floor. We had also rented; in addition 6 folding seats, 2 of which were downright broken and unusable moreover, in a parking lot, we had the black and gray water closing cap and the handle for operating the valve stolen from us. gray water. So we bought the kitchen items that were missing, a jet aerator for the tap, a handle and a stopper. PLEASE NOTE that Cruise Canada reimbursed us; all on presentation of invoices without any problem including the rental of 2 of 6 folding seats, so a very clearly positive assessment for them. Otherwise, the Camping Car C30 is very good for six people (4 adults and 2 teenagers), sufficiently spacious and comfortable, moreover, it drives like a big car (after a few hours of driving). A little more fuel-hungry (especially in the mountains) than the manufacturer's data, about 40 l/100 km on steep hills so a little personal advice: on hills do not leave the cruise control on. speed and do not hesitate to slow down so as not to rev the engine, in fact we are going slower and therefore not to bother other road users too much pull over for a few seconds when we are short so as not to block everyone (after all we we are on vacation).
To finish in a few words, great trip, very condensed; but how to do in a few days. It is a trip to; do it again but taking much longer in each park.
All our thanks to; Authentik Canada and at Cruise Canada and in particular to Marion our Authentik Canada advisor.
Gerald on behalf of the whole family.

Magnificent stay very well organized
(Translated by Google) Very nice organization, the roadbook is very well designed and very useful.
Formidable!!!!!
(Translated by Google) Route full of surprises: bears, whales, killer whales and breathtaking landscapes. breathtaking....and the camping car experience with extra children!
(Translated by Google) Personalized contact, very flexible to our expectations, responsive and pleasant. Just the stopover in Parksville on Victoria Island does not seem essential to us, and we would not recommend it.
Our nomination goes to; Anouk Legault from authentic canada because she is very professional and friendly - flexible, patient (no changes in our reservation) and always a very good follow-up - very personalized welcome.

(Translated by Google) We were very satisfied, especially with the road book and the service.
The day of handing over the motorhome was logistically too complicated.
We really enjoyed it. our advisor Michelle Boucher, she was at listening and reactive.
(Translated by Google) Availability interlocutors and their professionalism.
Some problem interpreting the road signs, it took us time to get used to it!! Plan a ferry reservation to go to Vancouver Island to avoid waiting.
Perfect motorhome.
Some small inaccuracies without consequences therefore well at the level of the travel diary.
Perfect organization!

(Translated by Google) We enjoyed it very much. reservations and information provided with the itinerary.
The campsite chosen for Victoria, which was actually at Malahat (30km from Victoria) was really too far from points of interest... Vancouver. After checking, there were several other campsites much closer. This made us do a lot of km that could have been avoided. For the other campsites...it was great.
The roadbook is awesome. Only it would be nice if it would be routed. a few weeks before the trip with all the other information. This would allow for better planning of activities for the trip. Also, the level of detail for the journeys could be improved. by adding the km to; performed between each road stage in the travel diary.
