Canada by Motorhome
Road trip in Quebec area
We had a fantastic trip and it was easy since our accommodations were already taken care of through Authentik. I appreciated the fact that I had a lot of say in what our accommodations would be on our trip. The family loved the road book which we referenced throughout our journey. Admittedly, it was difficult to estimate the distances between some places and a lot of great advice was written in small print so next time, I'll know to read the Road Book more carefully to glean important information about the destinations.

The seleccion of the camps was very successful for our trip with children. Everywhere they treated us very kindly, and there was no problema whit the reservations. We appreciate your advice anw we Will make very Good press of your services. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
lifetime memory
both my partner and I were attracted by Canada as a summer holidays destination for our family (2 children; 9 and 11 y old). We decided then to look around and see if we should arrange the trip by ourselves or trust local expert that would arrange it for us. We took the 2nd option for once. We probably paid a bit more than arranging it by ourselves but the quality, the punctuality, the professionalism and the easiness that Authentik Canada managed all this confiirmed us that we took the right decision,
the campings were very good, alterning some isolated camps (natural parks) and some more equipped ones that allowed us to use washing machine when it was necessary. The road book provided before the trip was a precious source of information that completed the information we found on site once we arrived on the place to visit.
the beauty of the landscape, the people, the food made us totally fall under admiration. We went 13 days with teh camping car. There is so much to discover that it sounds very few but well....we also combined it with a WE to NYC by bus. Was also a good option.
we were particularly impressed by La MAuricie. We could have spent our all holidays there: trekking, water sports, peaceful environment, great camping...everything was there.
children were also very happy with the experience...we could please everyone´s interests easily...from the canoe, to Zoo St Felicien, to Village Val Quartier in Quebec. We combined everything with geo-caching as well, which made it more entertaining and more interesting to discover a town or a new place.
what can be improved? the transfer back to our hotel in Montreal got delayed by 2hours. Pity when we have only few more hours left in town, but well...this is a detail compared to all the exceptional experience we had over 3 weeks.

Magnificent
(Translated by Google) We spent 2 magnificent weeks traveling through Quebec. The landscapes are grandiose. We particularly enjoyed sleeping in the national parks because the RV sites are large, private, and quiet. We've become pros at roasting marshmallows!
Four-generation family trip
(Translated by Google) This four-generation travel project was made possible thanks to Autentick Canada. We needed to find points of interest to satisfy everyone from the youngest to the oldest. Caroline, initially, and Marion, subsequently, were attentive and provided good advice. We had a wonderful human adventure in your beautiful country. Thanks to you, everyone is coming home with heads full of memories.

Unforgettable moments forever
Magnificent experience
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful trip, great organization by Authentik Canada, our organizer was very responsive and attentive in helping us as much as possible. I recommend the experience and Authentik Canada!
Great family trip
(Translated by Google) Great family trip with 3 teenagers. Authentik advised us very well, taking our specifications into account. The campervan experience (a first for us) was successful. An excellent trip.
Perfect organization before, during, and after the trip
(Translated by Google) I want to congratulate Authentik and especially Marion for the success of our trip. She managed to prepare an itinerary for us taking into account our many constraints, quickly answered my questions during the trip, and dealt with a small insurance issue very correctly upon our return.
I recommend Authentik if you want peace of mind and don't want to worry about administrative hassles: each place was booked in advance with the requested services and we were always well received. The campervan was magnificent and very practical for our family.

Perfect
(Translated by Google) Magnificent trip and met our expectations.
Andréanne organized a perfect tour for us, with a very precise schedule that allowed us to fully enjoy our stay.
We were traveling with our grandchildren aged 9 and 11 who are also delighted.
Wonderful RV trip in Quebec!
(Translated by Google) Wonderful RV trip in Quebec! Thanks Susyane for organizing.
Exceptional trip!
(Translated by Google) We chose to visit Quebec in a motorhome, staying in campgrounds at various national parks. Our trip lasted 13 days, with about 2000 km traveled, and everything was organized by Marika, whom we warmly thank! Marika was able to suggest the right activities suitable for the whole family, which perfectly enhanced our stay. We highly recommend.
First motorhome experience very successful
(Translated by Google) It was the first time we took a trip in a camper van, and it was really great, we fully embraced this first experience and loved it.
To start with, our advisor Véronique was very available for the trip preparation, the answers were quick, it was perfect.
I loved the roadbook, complete, efficient, a very good travel companion.
We loved the campsites in the nature reserves, it was exactly what we were looking for in this trip. The Jacques Cartier park campsite was our favorite, along with Bon Désir with the sea view, fabulous.
At the Joie campsite, there was a lot of closeness, but to make up for it, it was well equipped with a pool and a great game room.
The only downside: we weren't able to enjoy the local wine producer on the first day as they close at 5:30 p.m., which is too early given the prior grocery stop and the drive, and the next day they open at 10:30 a.m., a bit late, it's a pity.
Most of the activities selected were very good – St. Felicien zoo, Saguenay fjord, Val Jalbert, zodiac tour for whale watching, black bear observation safari, water slides, really great.
We liked the kayaking activity in the Saguenay fjords a bit less, the place is absolutely beautiful but it really doesn't last long, we were a bit frustrated, it was missing an hour to explore the bay a little further.
The camper van (Cruise Canada) was comfortable, easy to drive and the team welcomed us very well, everything went smoothly.
Two remarks:
- The 1500km package was a bit tight for the trip, we went well over it.
- The fridge did not work very well, it froze all the food.
In any case, it made us want to do this type of camper van trip again, and we liked Authentik's professionalism, we will very likely go through them again and will recommend them to our friends and family.

A very beautiful trip
(Translated by Google) The tour organized by Authentic Canada perfectly met our expectations, the choice of locations, camping and activities. Aside from a small issue with Cruise Canada's assistance, which wasn't present... Everything was great, thank you Adeline for this beautiful trip.
Superb RV road trip in Quebec
Family road trip in Quebec
(Translated by Google) We had a very good family stay traveling around Quebec.
The positives:
- Very good communication with our advisor and with Canadream for the RV rental
- Excellent route throughout the trip
- The choice of activities
- The comfort of the campgrounds and hotels
- The RV’s interior equipment
To note:
- The vehicle was quite basic with heavy handling. Very fuel-hungry (25l per 100km) even at under 2000 rpm. No sensors except for the backup camera.
- Defective radio. No GPS, no digital screen, no phone holder. Not convenient in areas without network coverage.
- More practical information about arriving at the campgrounds would have been useful, especially regarding the condition of the roads when traveling in a large RV.
- On July 6th, we had to go to the emergency room at Roberval hospital. We tried to contact Village Vacances Petit Saguenay campground by phone to notify them of our late arrival, but we couldn’t reach anyone. No response to our messages or emails. As a result, we had to spend the night in a parking lot because we weren’t sure we could get in after 10 pm.
- The 1800 km mileage allowance is tight. Without doing any extra trips and by shortening the last leg, the odometer showed 1740 km traveled. The option to drive in the US is not justified if it isn’t combined with an additional mileage allowance.

Feedback
(Translated by Google) Very good road trip. Our advisor Alyssa was very thoughtful and available from the very beginning and throughout our trip. She is patient and extremely kind in order to organize the trip that best suited our expectations and we are delighted.
Small negative point: rental at Canadream who don't really speak French, it can be difficult to make yourself understood and they didn't help us at all... We will nevertheless travel again with Aurhentik Canada with pleasure. Very professional.

An experience in Quebec
(Translated by Google) We went through Authentik for the 3rd year in a row and we had another excellent stay.
As always, the motorhome booking went very well and we even had the honor this year of being "upgraded", having a brand new motorhome with a little less than 5000 km on the clock.
We toured Mauricie, Jacques Cartier, Saguenay Fjord, Tadoussac and Quebec City.
The campsites were very nice because they were in the heart of the parks or in nature near urban areas.
Despite the somewhat cool weather, we were able to do all the recommended excursions and were never disappointed.

Well done
(Translated by Google) Thanks to Danika for her work and availability. Bravo for the road trip, the journey went very well and the SEPAQ locations where we parked and slept were great.
Excellent experience with Authentik
(Translated by Google) We had never done a road trip and thanks to Authentik's organization and support it was a wonderful experience.
Very good organization for a wonderful trip
(Translated by Google) Itinerary and activities well prepared. Good coordination with the motorhome rental company. In summary, a good service, reliable, consistent with our expectations, for a good holiday in Quebec.
A great road trip in Quebec in the fall
Road trip definitely better with another RV/camper van
(Translated by Google) The itinerary suggested by Authentik Canada suited us. However, we were very disappointed with the rental from Cruise Canada, which did not meet our expectations: reversing sensor issues, water leak in the shower, external water leak, broken fridge, 24/24 breakdown service only in English, very unpleasant and dishonest staff member at the Cruise Canada Montreal agency upon returning the motorhome. We are surprised to read on your website that Authentik Canada recommends other providers for motorhome rentals and that Cruise Canada is not well rated. This ruined our vacation.

Magnificent experience
(Translated by Google) Great experience, and very good organization by Danika. All the parks where we stayed were superb as well as the few campsites we did.
Danika was able to adapt to our dates of stay on site.
Family road trip in Quebec
(Translated by Google) I am delighted to have called upon the expertise of Authentik Canada. From A to Z, the choice of the RV, the campsites, the national parks, the suggestions for different activities, the advice, restaurant recommendations, the historical reminders to immerse us in the experience, in short, everything was perfect :) I highly recommend them because we left serenely for a foreign country. Thank you so much for your support. See you soon :)

Great itinerary!
(Translated by Google) Trip and itinerary very well organized. Small downside: two activities had to be confirmed by phone the day before but it was impossible for us to call (in the parks: no phone network) and the campsites couldn't call because they were public. We lost valuable time trying to call and confirm the activities.
Great first VR experience with Authentik Canada
(Translated by Google) Our road trip was well organized: no reservation problems with campsites and activities, practical vouchers. We could imagine a system with QR codes to avoid cutting out the vouchers.
Good choice of campsites and services. Reasonable driving time between each stop leaving freedom to adapt the routes. Taking control of the RV was rather easy for a first experience.
It's a bit of a shame to have to pay for a taxi or an Uber to go get the RV from Montreal with CanaDream.
When an unforeseen event occurred (cable car breakdown at Montmorency Falls), we were notified two days before and reimbursed immediately.
Good experience with Authentik Canada to be renewed to visit this beautiful country again, why not during Indian summer.

A superb family trip!
(Translated by Google) We spent 2 weeks in Canada. The organization by Authentik Canada was perfect: the activities were always well placed in the schedule. The campsites were very good! The locations were magical! And the advice was sound!
Small downside for the aging campervan, which had a few quirks.
3-week road trip in Quebec passing through Gaspésie
(Translated by Google) Stay allowing to fly over a large part of Quebec (Montreal-Lac St Jean-Fjord du Saguenay-Gaspesie-Bas St Laurent-Quebec). Can be a bit frustrating not to stay more than 2 nights at each stop but otherwise the landscapes are magnificent and the Québécois charming.
