Indian summer
Very nice colorful trip!
(Translated by Google) We would have liked to be welcomed at arrival by someone from Authentik Canada (as is usually done) but we got away with it. by ourselves to the first Roberval hotel. The roadbook that was given to us handed over to the reception was very thorough and served us well. Le Roberval is very well located, with a kitchen, in short... practical. Metro and bus very close. The hotels chosen were perfect with some favorites such as "La Tempérance" for its adorable welcome and its cuisine, "Auberge sur Mer" for its location and its gourmet cuisine, the "Pourvoirie Valga" for its hospitality and its charm, the Auberge Sainte Paix" which deserves one more star for its kindness and its breakfast, "la Fjordelaise" for its delicious room and its gastronomy, "l'Auberge aux Jardins Champêtres" for its gastronomy at a very reasonable price. The welcome is a little colder at the "Le Voyageur" cottage, but the accommodation is perfect and the lunch delicious.
The hotel "Jardin Ste Anne" in Quebec is old-fashioned and surprising (stepping over the toilet to get into your shower... unheard of but we will keep happy memories of it!) Very well located. Very good lunch at Jules with a 15% discount on the recommendation of the hotel. We have finally been very satisfied with the hotels chosen.
Concerning the vehicle, Avis has upgraded us. with a GMC TERRAIN SUV that we greatly appreciated. Only downside, the return of the vehicle to the very complicated Montreal airport; (Follow the indications "LOCATION" to end in underground car parks where all the signs are found. To be specified to future customers! Very unpleasant reception by the AVIS employee, very unfriendly s aggressive and rude (end of day maybe??)
We thank you for this beautiful trip which allowed us to get to know your beautiful country with the warmth of Quebecers, these fall colors and its summer. Indians. Everything was together!

Broken promise...
(Translated by Google) AUTHENTIK CANADA seems well structured; and was responsive in the various exchanges we had, especially during the stay when there were unforeseen events. The travel documents provided are well done, despite some inaccuracies on the Google route data (GPS is essential in our opinion).
Among the 9 accommodations offered, only 3 were to the height which were nevertheless in the economic range. Regarding our last accommodation where we were to spend 2 nights, the room offered was unacceptable (problem with clogged toilets, unbearable smell of cooking duck in the room until 11 p.m. - they hold group receptions on Fridays evening and Saturday evening, groups making noise until 1 a.m., etc.). We therefore had to book the last night on our own, which allowed us to select a less expensive and yet impeccable establishment where we would have liked to stay several days.
Regarding the reserved activities, they are of a good standard in general, but their programming is sometimes poorly optimized in relation to the schedule. the location of the accommodation where the imperatives of the moment (example: when you are in Quebec City, which requires time, you cannot drive 2 hours to go and do a 4-hour activity around l'Orignal - we have given up on activity).
Of course, all this did not prevent us from to like this discovery of Quebec which is really to be enjoyed; see !

excellent stay in Quebec
(Translated by Google) We enjoyed it very much. this route that left us freedom to organize our days. We could have stopped in Quebec City because the distance from Quebec City to Montreal airport was short. difficult but we had no choice because our plane to New York was leaving from Montreal. Excellent vehicle rental service.
Very good organization
(Translated by Google) The circuit we chose was perfectly organized. We had enough time between each stage to choose our program as well as possible (very beautiful human encounters and magnificent country)
Splendid, magical
(Translated by Google) Thanks to; Authentik Canada we spent magical holidays everything was perfectly organized. Hostels where we slept were all friendly and each had their own charm. We have just been disappointed by the reception of the hotel St-Anne à; Quebec but otherwise for the rest everything was great!! The program is perfect, we have time to rest and visit quietly without rushing. In addition, the little extra from authentic Canada which tells us about the activities is great! But do not hesitate to ask your hosts advice on what to do to do or in which restaurant to eat. The Valga outfitter as well as the St-Paix à àgrave; Tadoussac will remain our favorites as our hosts were warm and welcoming. As for visits, do not miss the Parc du Bic, just a marvel and the whale safari trip is essential! The encounter is so magical! And for nature lovers, the Parc des Hautes-Gorges is a stone's throw away. TO DO. The cruise offered by Authentik is splendid and the guides are perfect. We take full eyes. Finally, thanks to; Karine but also Marie-Michele for having concocted for us; this wonderful journey. We keep wonderful memories! And we may well come back to it :-) Thank you [...]
(Translated by Google) We loved it. nature despite the fact that we came early in the spring...
Too bad for the food whose quality/price ratio is high... it's not your fault of course.
(Translated by Google) Very good preparation for the trip, great availability, varied choices both for accommodation and options. On site, very good quality. selected accommodation, easy-to-learn circuit; achieve. Perfect road book. Nothing to do repeat.
You should have the documentation on driving and regulations when picking up the vehicle or a few days before departure.
Auberge Le Surouet where, unlike documentation, restoration is closed. Less warm welcome compared to at the other stages.
The photo safari at; the moose takes a long time for a different encounter than the one announced on the road book. Minibus too noisy to hear the guide's comments. We thought we would discover other species during this outing.
Stopover too short at; Masheuiatsh at Lac St Jean where several on-site activities are possible: the Amerindian museum and the new community village; Native American. Lack of time and perhaps planning a stopover between Lac St Jean and Tadoussac (Saguenay) Not to be missed (a must!)Sainte Rose du Nord.
We would like to thank Martine from Au repos du Draveur. Very warm welcome, excellent breakfast giving us the opportunity to chat with Martine, owner of the cottage, who takes the time to help you discover the surroundings. Thanks to; his good advice we went to; the Nature Area of Grandes-Piles, around Lac Clair, closer than the National Park.

(Translated by Google) By following to; the letter the instructions given in the roadbook, we appreciated the orchestration of our trip. No unpleasant surprises during this fortnight: Congratulations to; our organizer Valérie. THANK YOU
The only downside to our trip: the GPS. Its upgrade; day can be useful in certain circumstances.
No particular remark, the various accommodations were all of very good quality.
Nothing to do point out at the level of activities, they were in correspondence with our desires.
Excellent organization. Keep going
Thanks to; Pierre and Sylvie from the Auberge du Lupin...We appreciated; The kindness, the availability, the friendliness, the setting of the hostel and its quality accommodation. and to finish the very family breakfast. Highly recommended for future travellers, they will not be disappointed.

(Translated by Google) Stay with the Native Americans at the manawan reserve. Exceptional welcome, very nice guides. Adventure at; live and truly unique. The canoë campsite with wind and river adventure. Super friendly guide. Native Museum of Mashteuiatsh. Brilliant guide wonderful museum. bear safari
Eastern Township. Arrived on October 12, everything was closed. Arrived too late in the season. The triton outfitter. 2 coaches on the spot, the impression, that we pass after the tourists of the coaches. Average Meal Tempted nice hutopia, but you marked that sleeping bags were provided, but once there no bag (gla gla)
Jean Sébastien rivets from Aventure Vent et Rivières and Alvin and Vincent from Manawan. Very nice people, very competent guides. Much discussed with.
[...]
(Translated by Google) We particularly liked the faculty adaptation of the agency to the wishes expressed, sound advice.
Due to late booking, some accommodations could not be updated. arrangement. We have been disappointed by the very rigid and cold reception at the Grand Hotel in Paris. Tadoussac Inns In the colors of France, Auberge du Lac & àgrave; St Matthieu du Parc, la Fjordelaise, l'Estampilles are wonderful places. We particularly appreciated the food served in these inns. La Fjordelaise has an extraordinary romantic charm and a very friendly welcome. Despite the length of the road and the duration of the trip to reach the Némiskau outfitter, we found a wonderful place with extraordinary hosts of kindness... we would have liked to stay. Thanks to; Claire and Régis de l'Estampilles for the quality; welcome, comfort and cleanliness; of the room, the kindness of these people, the quality; from the kitchen...
Everything was perfect in terms of transport, the category of the car was most satisfactory: Ford Taurus.
Very good proposals for activities, despite the fact that sometimes you have to hurry to leave a place (to our great regret...) to reach the place of an activity.
All information is given with all the necessary details in the travel diary.

(Translated by Google) Strengths: The follow-up by the advisor and the triton outfitter.
The accommodations were excellent except for the hotel in the other garden at the hotel. Quebec ... Ps exceptional, not cute, a little sad, far from the center! No elevator with children!!!!!!!! Very average. The outfitter was awesome! Le Condo du nakatam: a little disappointed not to have a stove...while some chalets have it! The fjordelaise at Anse Saint Jean: good performance but very disappointed to be imposed the tip at the end by the boss: we paid of course, but we should have refused. Very inelegant!
Awesome whales! The walks great but a little hard with 2 young children ... Especially at the end of the day. because of the cold and at the cove knows Jean.
The travel diary is great but it should be noted that the map must imperatively be seen in parallel with the GPS which is often wrong! In particular at the stage of the outfitter... There is lac Édouard city and lac Édouard the real lake with 200 km difference.... The GPS does not really make the difference and the rue Edmond exists in both.... In short, a misadventure not serious but embarrassing.... The GPS support was basic broken... A little annoying!
The stage of L'anse saint jean is a bit average for the moment of the season (autumn)... Otherwise perfect
Thanks to; our advisor, Virginie Alessi from Authentik for her availability; !!!!!!!! His kindness and his competence! Everything ça !!! It's not easy to organize a trip for a family with young children!!!
[...]
(Translated by Google) The fact that everything was well organized. Authentik Canada is recognized by all the speakers we have had. our expectations. Thanks to; Johanne and Daniel from Gite the temperance at; Charette for the exceptional welcome. You feel good right away.
When renting the car, no information is provided about traffic rules. there are many indicated in the roadbook but it is not enough. It would be a good idea to send a booklet of the most important rules before departure: school bus (compulsory stop in both directions), crossroads with 4 stops, priority bicycles and pedestrians or not....
It would be nice if someone from Authentik Canada handed over the cover to us so that we could discuss with her if necessary.
[...]
(Translated by Google) When we come back from a trip, we are always very excited, we have to mind full of memories and images. The criticism is then often distorted, so I left spend a few days at; reply to you.
Well yes this trip was magnificent!!!
The credit for this goes first to; Michéle OUELLET who advised us very well, always responding without delay to any questions. our questions by return email. The selection and above all the variety places of accommodation has been perfect. A big thank you goes to; address him.
The circuit is actually quite varied; and I must confess to you that I was a bit afraid of doing miles and miles away. through forests. In addition, sleeping two nights in a row in the same place allowed us to rest and better appreciate the place.
[...]
(Translated by Google) We had an exceptional experience. The diverse choice of accommodation, the diversity activities, landscapes and especially the reception in the establishments that I had. This is my second trip to your place and for my first I went by a French agency, and with her I didn't have those choices. , it allowed me to know a little more about your country and its inhabitants because in small establishments everything is done to feel close to the people of their region and even a little of their lives. accommodation three favourites: -La Seigneurie du Triton -The Couleur de France inn -The Tempérance guesthouse
The Discount rental company, in addition to not being at the airport (waiting for a shuttle), the staff is not fast, for picking up the vehicle it is not a big deal, but the last day between their slowness plus the wait for the shuttle (with a stop far enough from the airport gates in the rain: average) I lost precious time which made me run for the boarding. The times calculated on the roadbook are below reality.
The treehouse sugar to; Quebec (lac Beauport), I liked it. the lesson on maple syrup, the entertainment during the meal, but the meal itself was a bit of a factory, because this cabin at the end of the day what i saw is more specialist in groups than for a person traveling alone, i felt lost in this crowd. I think a smaller structure should be fine.
For the travel diary, nothing to do. say, it is very precise, just maybe for the directions to write in bigger because when the GPS decides to say anything or not to recognize the road (4 times during the journey) it is not obvious to follow. Well it's not a big deal, we laugh about it afterwards.
Thanks to; Dave (host) from the Seigneurie du Triton. I enjoyed the evening when he made us discover Quebec expressions a good moment of relaxation and exchange, but especially the tour in Rabaska it was a very beautiful calm moment in a wonderful nature with perfect comments and above all his very good humor. I would also like to talk about the employees of the Auberge Couleur de France who have been to attentive, helpful and totally adorable with me, just like the owners Léa and Jean-Jacques. There is also Johanne and Daniel, the owners of the Tempérance gît; also a totally perfect welcome in a very beautiful house with character.

(Translated by Google) We liked the quality of the relationship and the trip, of course, which corresponded to what was proposed. The car we had chosen was not big enough for four. I think that we need more detailed information on the models offered and above all that the rental company respects our choice exactly. Furthermore, I believe that the GPS is very useful and that it is absolutely necessary to recommend it. The accommodation is a little too irregular; either great, or just passable even if the reception at each time was fine. Perfect organization [...]
(Translated by Google) The friendliness and the competence of our interlocutor, her speed; in the answers to the questions asked. We also enjoyed the Authentik website and the offers offered. We had come to Quebec for the summer; Indian and we were spoiled, especially in the Magog region where it was the apotheosis.
Both activities were a perfect success and the meeting with the hunter-trapper at the Pic-Bois domain as well as with the bears constituted a big moment. However, telephone contact with the manager of Aviation Mauricie at Lac-à-la-Tortue was interrupted. very unpleasant. This observation was also made by other people. let him know
The travel log is useful for the co-pilot, but sometimes contradicts the route drawn with the stabilo on the road map. And as the GPS also played us; turns, we sometimes had to contradict him to find our way. About GPS -which has been posted on Thursday, October 4 at the airport at 4:10 p.m.-, it would be useful if he were purged. of all registered addresses before updating it. disposal of a host.

(Translated by Google) the journey dates back to; 2009! but we were delighted by a flawless organization, idyllic accommodations at; a very reasonable price. A fundamental asset: a very efficient team based in Quebec with telephone contact always possible and free from France.
Thanks again for the quality. of your services and we hope to make another visit to you.

(Translated by Google) Leaving in 2009, this trip was an enchantment from start to finish. Our counselor showed up very responsive when we needed her.
The possibility modifying the circuit allowed us to add stages that we did not want to miss. We can't wait to leave!!
(Translated by Google) We did 2 road trips in Canada with Authentic Canada!!one in the east in 2008 and one in the west in 2010!!!
The highlight is the trip to; the card!!! with lots of possible options to choose from; each place and the skills of the advisers to inform you and help you!!
We can't see everything otherwise, we don't see anything, we don't do anything and we run and drive non-stop!!!
It is necessary to choose the places well; visit and stay there for 2 or 3 days!! sailing around!!!
we can also mix 2 trips!!
On this trip, here are for me the good choices among the essentials!!
-it takes 2 nights to stay Montreal at least
(city tour and biodôme and Olympic tower from where you can see all of Montreal)
- the Omega park is an opportunity to rub shoulders with and photograph the large animals from your car.
-Mont Tremblant deserves a walk or two in the park!
- Deep Quebec, it's "outfitters" an "outfitter", at least 2 nights.
The "Triton" outfitter is a real change of scenery within nature!!
-La Mauricie with a seaplane flight and a visit of the park by car with its grandiose panoramas.
-The fjord is worth a boat cruise and the statue of the Eternity River. worth the detour.
-In Tadoussac, you have to go on a zodiac safari to see the whales.
-In the Hautes Gorges park, you need time for a real walk
-Before arriving at Quebec, the Ste Anne canyon is superb
-In quebec, the gastronomic diner on the roof of quebec is charming after having visited; the city, little Champlain!!
-in 2008, we chose to do Lac Saint Jean!!! and not the Eastern Townships!!
- it is true that our journey lasted; 21 days!!!in October!!

(Translated by Google) We have been particularly enchanted by this trip which benefited of perfect organization. We have been very well received in a family with whom we keep some contact. We have brought Authentic Canada to the world; our neighbours. They are currently in your beautiful province.
(Translated by Google) Magnificent stay in autotours, trip very very well organized. by the agency, superb landscapes, the stopover with the Algonquin Indians was a real moment of happiness and emotion. All accommodation was of very good quality. To recommend !
(Translated by Google) Wonderful trip, superb organization, nothing to worry about. repeat. What happiness.
Above all, do not miss the stay with the Algonquin Indians because it is a highlight...
