Indian summer
Exceptional trip
We took a chance booking through Authentik Canada without knowing anything about the service. We are very happy we did. We knew we wanted to travel to the Quebec region in the fall, but had no idea of exactly where to go outside of the big cities. The Indian Summer itinerary turned out to be perfect for us, including a mix of city and nature experiences. We were especially lucky that we enjoyed a particularly great stretch of warm weather our first week and mild temperatures throughout. Not to mention the glorious fall colors!
The accommodations offered through Authentik were comfortable and convenient. Just about everywhere we stayed recognized was familiar with Authentik and checking in was pretty seamless. So much easier for us than searching around trying to find places to stay on our own. Yet the package was also very flexible allowing us to book a couple of nights on our own when we thought the offerings did not quite suit our needs .
Working with our consultant Marine was very easy. She was extremely professional and responsive. We also liked the app that we downloaded for use on our trip to help us navigate. Small recommendation for other travelers is to have the vouchers supplied by Authentik available at least electronically if not printed. There were a few places where they really came in handy for us (on a ferry and even a couple of hotels).
I would not hesitate to book through Authentik again or refer others.

Indian summer by road
We did a 3 weeks road trip in Quebec starting in September 28th 2022. We had the help from Authentik Canada to design the trip that was very helpful because we dont know where we could find the best indian summer landscapes . The lodges also were well chosen. My wife loved so much Quebec city that could stay there much more days than the 4 nights we stay there…
Itinerary and lodging
Both my husband and I were delighted with the support we received from the staff at Authentic Canada. They developed an extraordinary itinerary for our scheduled trip to Canada and had the ability and expertise to accommodate our request. It seemed as if they personally insured that the itinerary was crafted and implemented for the best desired result to suit us, as their clients.
I definitely will engage them for our future trips to Canada.

(Translated by Google) My dream of discovering Quebec during the Indian summer became a reality this year. Thanks to excellent trip planning by Émilie Boivin, I was able to explore several regions of Quebec in 14 days (Bas Saint-Laurent, Pointe du Bic, Tadoussac, Saguenay Fjord, Charlevoix, Mauricie, and Mont-Tremblant). Generally, I stayed two nights in the same accommodation, which is a good pace. This allowed me to settle down and enjoy the region. The accommodations were of different standards, but I always felt comfortable and welcomed. All the material conditions were met so that I could take full advantage of the splendid landscapes at this time of the year. Towards the end of the tour, Saguenay and Mont-Tremblant, the colors of the forests were less vibrant because there had been quite a bit of wind (and also rain) and many trees had already lost their leaves, but the landscapes remained breathtaking nonetheless. For technical reasons, I couldn't access the application, but the roadbook was precise enough, well-designed, and thus a great help. A big thank you to Émilie for organizing and monitoring the trip. [...]
(Translated by Google) All the excursions are great, a top road trip for an unforgettable stay, but the chosen date (from 14.09.24 to 02.10.24) was a little too early to truly see the Indian summer (too hot due to climate change). Be careful with photos of certain inns (Mange Grenouille, Jardins Champêtres—even though for this one, the owner was really very friendly and welcoming)—they unfortunately do not represent reality. [...]
Dream trip
(Translated by Google) The trip went wonderfully well, everything was smooth, without any stress, and the accommodations lived up to what we had imagined; we couldn't have dreamed of a better road trip! The Authentik Canada app and its roadbook helped us even in areas without network coverage. We recommend it 100%, and thanks again to Danika for organizing the trip!
(Translated by Google) Indian summer is a wonderful season to visit this beautiful and vast country. We had only one downside: Avis, the car rental provider. We had to wait 4 hours to receive our vehicle, so the day was ruined. Otherwise, pure happiness. Maybe Lake St Jean is not worth visiting in the fall?
Excellent journey with beautiful discoveries
(Translated by Google) In line with our desires (in addition to the proposed itinerary, we stayed 3 days upon arrival and 1.5 days before departure in Montreal, which nicely complemented our trip) Very good appreciation of the necessary time for travel and visits on site (without stress)
(Translated by Google) We are pleased with this new trip to Quebec. The tour of the Gaspé Peninsula is a very beautiful route with all our congratulations for the welcome at Domaine VALGA in Saint Gabriel de Rimouski. We admired very diverse landscapes and visited many national parks, all very different from one another. We will keep wonderful memories. However, some drawbacks regarding our dates: we would have appreciated being informed that it was the end of the season for certain destinations and that we would not be able to enjoy all the usual services. For example: in Ste Anne des Monts, the Auberge La Seigneurie des Monts offers meals in season, but it was closed during our visit. Moreover, at the Aquamer in Carleton s/mer, why not include breakfast for us? Then one last remark concerning the Auberge sur Mer in Notre Dame du Portage, we had a room in the inn above the restaurant, which turned out to be extremely noisy (ambient music is played at the bar, causing constant disturbance in the poorly soundproofed rooms, and several customers complained about it!). When a customer seeks peace and quiet, why doesn't the inn assign them a room in the quieter part of the inn? Overall, these are only minor issues, and we are very satisfied with this trip. [...]
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful getaway along a part of the St-Lawrence. The colorful landscapes at this time, the whales in Tadoussac, the diversity of accommodations, the variety of extras at each stage, all perfectly organized and synchronized. Authentic Canada = true professionals! Well done!
Traveling in Gaspesie
(Translated by Google) Beautiful trip in Gaspesie. The accommodations chosen by Émilie were unusual and comfortable. Well done for the accommodations.
The road trip was too packed, some places would have deserved one more night, particularly with accommodations in the parks or closer to the parks, especially for Gaspesie and Forillon Parks. Too much driving before arriving at the park and too short to really hike.
[...]
Autumnal discovery
(Translated by Google) The itinerary offered by Authentic is very good, we discovered beautiful landscapes and the distances were reasonable considering the size of Quebec. Everything was well booked and we didn't have to struggle. The hotels in the Charlevoix area were basic, this point should be reviewed. This trip will remain in our memories as a very beautiful discovery of Quebec. [...]
(Translated by Google) A beautiful surprise! The journey that Véronique prepared for us was perfect and very beautiful. We traveled from 09/16 to 10/04 and were able to admire the landscapes with the beautiful colors of autumn. The different accommodations were almost all good! Only one really disappointed us, the Hôtel du Jardin in Quebec City. We also left them a comment on Google. Otherwise, everything went well, a big thank you to Véronique from authentik Canada who gave very good advice and guided us to make our trip exceptional! [...]
(Translated by Google) We had a very good stay, the different places were magnificent, a few small drawbacks and remarks that did not impact our stay but are nevertheless worth mentioning such as:
* Les Suites Labelle parking very complicated and not much help from the staff, somewhat concerning neighborhood if staying for a long period.
* L'Auberge du Lac, nothing to say, excellent, super friendly staff, great breakfast, magnificent setting.
* C3 Hotel, a lot to say and improve for your future clients, unwelcoming staff, many stairs for luggage, not practical, rooms not very clean, surprise tax charge for weekend $20 CAD+tax per night per person, and if it shocks us talk to you.
* Auberge de la Pointe magnificent, very welcoming staff, perfect room, well located near the lake, perfect breakfast, highly recommended for your future clients.
* Auberge des Îles du Bic, many stairs, authentic owner, perfect breakfast, but not recommended for families with children because of many recommendations from the owner about noise (old wooden house), one night is okay but more is not at all.
* Condo Ferme 5 Étoiles, very cold staff, many appliances out of service, cleaning of the rooms needs serious improvement, changeover of rooms from 11 am to 4 pm must be bridged as there is nothing to do, re-entering the rooms at 4 pm with a very distant separation between them even though we are a family, however the quad was excellent, Félix our guide was top-notch.
* Aux Portes du Soleil, very good for a night, very clean room, very welcoming owner.
Aside from all these details, the places were magnificent, Canadians were super kind, a lot of advice on places to visit, the weather was perfect except in Mauricie unfortunately where it was a rainy day.

Indian summer
(Translated by Google) This road trip met all our expectations. The colors of Indian summer were there. The bear safari is an exceptional experience. The Valga estate remains an essential stopover.
Unforgettable
(Translated by Google) A road trip to Quebec that will remain engraved in our memories, with these incredible landscapes, superb meetings with Quebecers and superb activities (helicopter at Mont Tremblant, seaplane over Mauricie and whales in Tadoussac...) with an organization at the top who knows how to handle the slightest problem on site.
Completely satisfied
(Translated by Google) We were well advised from our first contact. Our wishes were taken into account with kindness. The services offered and the services provided are of high quality.
What a great adventure!
(Translated by Google) We spent 5 wonderful weeks in Quebec on a roadtrip masterfully organized by Authentik Canada. Everything was perfect: our car (a Toyota Camry), the very diverse accommodation and always of the expected standard, as well as the activities booked in advance: a special thought for the seaplane flight, the black bear safari, our dinner on the roof of old Quebec or even and above all the emotion of having seen the whales so closely in Tadoussac
Thanks to Alyssa and Maxim for this perfect organization

BEAUTIFUL ITINERARY
(Translated by Google) We are satisfied with our itinerary and our trip, with only one regret: not having stayed two or three days more for Lac St Jean and enjoying more of Quebec which deserves a guided tour the moment was ideal to enjoy the beautiful colors of the Indian summer we didn't feel cold at all, the forests are magnificent
Perfect road trip!
(Translated by Google) We wanted to see the Indian summer, we got it, in every sense of the word (we enjoyed exceptional temperatures for the season). The magnificent colors were there: a real enchantment.
The combined stay was perfect (we did variations), the activities very appreciated. And what a pleasure to follow the program without having to worry about reservations!
We plan to return to Quebec very soon, this time in winter... and of course with Authentik Canada.

Tour in Quebec
(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to fall in the middle of the Indian summer, and Quebec offered us its most beautiful finery! Shimmering colors, forests and lakes in abundance and as far as the eye can see, we will be amazed! The tour put together by Authentik Canada was really great, and it was very pleasant to sleep in different establishments. We particularly enjoyed sleeping in the lodges, which offer all the comfort, but above all a particularly warm welcome from the hosts who take great care of their visitors. It was a total change of scenery and we had a blast. [...]
Indian summer with summer weather
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful journey through several regions, magnificent landscapes and an unrivaled welcome from our "cousins"
Good performance
(Translated by Google) We enjoyed our Indian Summer trip to Quebec from Montreal to Bic in Quebec, the advice and responsiveness of Authentik were good, the hotels/hostels/lodges were varied and good quality, the pace suited us well with breaks or moments free, the guides were of good quality for visiting Montreal and especially Quebec. We didn’t find the sensations of Western Canada with excessive nature but the colors in the Hautes gorges de la rivière Malbaie park were incredible! [...]
Fall, the best season to visit Quebec
(Translated by Google) A very nice trip, quite complete on all that Quebec autumn can bring.
The hotels were all very good.
I particularly appreciated the fact of being able to organize the trip myself by choosing the hotels and adding or deleting days and destinations. The guide was also very practical even if it was not necessarily suitable for a trip in the fall.
[...]
Have a great vacation in Quebec!
(Translated by Google) Our roadtrip was a success. He was well prepared, the stay well organized and our contact Alyssa was always there to listen to us.
This trip allowed us to discover a part of Quebec, both the city and the more remote and wild corners.
We will not hesitate to use the service of AUTHENTIC during a next trip in the future.
successful indian summer
(Translated by Google) Trip as expected. The colors were present and the weather very mild overall.
No problem with accommodation, very warm welcome. Authentik Canada adapted the basic circuit well to our wishes, which allowed us to take our time between the different stages, which can be long for some.
The excursions offered (bears, seaplane, beavers and whales) are very good. Complete and very appreciable roadbook.
Only downside, the car rental: Thrifty was really not up to expectations, knowing that the price doubled between the trip scheduled and canceled in 2020 and the one made in 2022!!!
[...]
indian summer with family
(Translated by Google) Our trip was incredible from A to Z, we benefited from a spectacular chance with the weather to discover the autumn colors present!
Great landscapes!
(Translated by Google) A trip delayed twice (2020 and 2021) because of the Covid epidemics, but Authentik Canada was able to reschedule it and redo all the reservations and advise as best as possible for it to take place. Very well programmed, a wise choice for accommodation, a very useful roadbook.
In short, happy to have made this trip with Authentik Canada
Everything was perfect
(Translated by Google) Perfect organized trip. Ideal period. Very friendly Canadian welcome.
fully satisfied
beautiful indian summer
(Translated by Google) Our stay was a great success. The accommodations, mainly in hostels, were very good.. special mention for the inn under the pines with succulent meals, as well as the inn of the Tower and Spa.. very welcoming hosts and good advice. The good weather was present for almost all of our stay with even 20°c at the end. The flamboyant colors were also part of it. What a wonder this nature is so colorful.. Thanks to Daphné for her impeccable work.. only small downside was the company Trifty who did not want to reimburse a puncture repaired at our expense.. for the rest, everything was perfect. [...]
