(Translated by Google) Great experience, the route and places to sleep were well organized.
very nice trip - completely in line with our expectations

Magnificent trip in sumptuous landscapes
(Translated by Google) We really enjoyed our road trip in Ontario and Quebec.
The landscapes are grandiose and the fall colors magnificent.
We really liked (among other things) Gaspésie for its magnificent coasts, the Niagara Falls illuminated at night, the cruise to the Thousand Islands and the wild zoo of Saint Félicien. as well as the legendary kindness of Quebecers.

Family trip for 5 - from Toronto to Gaspésie
(Translated by Google) A wonderful trip, concocted by our interlocutor Marie-Eve, who was proactive and efficient from start to finish, and on which we relied with confidence. No false note. We warmly recommend Authentik Canada.
3 unforgettable, exotic weeks! We would like more!
(Translated by Google) A trip prepared for 3 years and long awaited. Listening advisors who were able to adapt the trip and answer our questions. A very effective roadbook which was very useful to us throughout the trip. No problems with all of the reservations made. Quality accommodation, really nice services! From the city, nature, animals, landscapes, we were amazed. The formula was suitable for a family trip. In order to be able to see as many of them as possible, we had to go on the road with sometimes tight timing. Just the feeling of having flown over many things and that there is still a lot to see! We will definitely have to come back! [...]

(Translated by Google) Superb trip!
Super well-constructed road trip, just let yourself be guided
Varied circuit and beautiful discoveries
(Translated by Google) Very satisfied with our roadtrip in Eastern Canada. The variety of days between big cities like Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa or Quebec and the great spaces that are the natural parks or the banks of the Saint Lawrence gave us the opportunity to discover the Canadian flora and fauna but also welcoming people and benevolent. The program was well suited for a family with a break in an area surrounded by nature in the middle of the stay to rest. The activities chosen were all of high quality. A big thank you to Caroline for her wise advice and her support in tailoring our stay. [...]
a fantastic stay
(Translated by Google) A superb 3-week road-trip in Quebec and Ontario with the help of Authentik Canada which allowed us to visit the great Canadian spaces as well as the main cities and to live unforgettable experiences with the family (kayak on the fjord, bear and whale watching, helicopter flight over Niagara Falls, etc.). Only one downside, the car rental service provider who charged us fees without justification or indication. [...]
GORGEOUS
(Translated by Google) Wonderful stay beyond our expectations. We spent 17 days in Canada of discovery. Our itinerary with overnight stays of 1 or 2 nights maximum in the same place allowed us to discover different places between Toronto and Quebec.
Unforgettable trip for the colors of nature and the friendliness of Eastern Canadians.
(Translated by Google) Offer, quote, order, route, trip by authentic=perfect and on site diversity, landscapes, colors of nature, encounters, kindness of Canadians, unforgettable accommodation choices.
Indian Summer - Gaspésie Tour
(Translated by Google) We spent 3 wonderful weeks in the middle of the Indian summer. Colors full of eyes, waouhhhh
Montreal, Mauricie, La Tuque, St-Félicien, Saguenay, Les Escoumins, Gaspésie Park, Gaspé, Percé, Bic, Quebec
The accommodations were amazing as well as the people who welcomed us.
We had the chance to see whales, caribou, moose, gannets, seals...
I highly recommend "l'aventure au pays des caribou" at the St-Félicien zoo. It was an unforgettable experience.
We opted for a slightly more all-terrain rental car (Jeep) than the one reserved at the base, which we also recommend.
Authentik's advice and roadbook were perfect. Thank you for everything.
[...]
Kudos to Authentik Canada
(Translated by Google) Very good service, Authentik Canada is a serious specialized agency that listens to customers.
Alexandre did his best for the 6 of us.
The roadbook, all the accommodations: from the 5-star hotel facing the Niagara Falls, to the bed and breakfasts and inns where the welcome is family, through the outfitter, the condos and the mansions,
our 3 week stay was wonderful.
I highly recommend.
[...]
Very good experience. Completely satisfied with the service of AUTHENTIK
(Translated by Google) Thanks to Véronique for her availability and her quick answers during the preparation of our stay, a 3 and a half week autotour from Toronto to Quebec with the tour of Gaspésie. Excellent road-book to accompany us, diversity of accommodation in line with our expectations (guest rooms, lodges, hotel, motel).
A very warm welcome at Pourvoirie Valga with a small downside for the "beaver observation" option which did not live up to our expectations (it must be said that the weather was not to our advantage due to strong rains).
The choice of the ferry from Matane was not the best option because the crossing is long and we had to make the road to reach Tadoussac half at night.
Why not stop at Escoumins where we had to come back the next day for whale watching.
During a possible new stay, it is with pleasure that we will trust the Hauthentik team again.

Great ! An unforgettable honeymoon!!!
(Translated by Google) Very good advice before booking, the itinerary was perfect: we were able to see and visit a lot of things! The hotels / lodges / inns are generally very well chosen, and often with a very nice atypical side. The advice on visits, the availability of the agency during the stay and the details concerning the organization are irreproachable, honestly, I recommend 100% !!!
A nice trip
(Translated by Google) It's not easy to summarize 20 days of vacation as it was intense and very pleasant. We liked Old Montreal, Percé. The Gaspesie for the parks and our beautiful walks. Unique our encounters with the whales a very strong moment. And at the Cap aux Corbeilles inn, a little bear in the morning on the road. Well I shorten all our successful road trip.
The circuit allowed us to discover the main sites where activities. This gave us an overview and will allow us to return to Canada either to discover places that we could not see or to take more time in places that we liked. We appreciated the pre-programming of the GPS. We can say that Karolane Lessard did an excellent job and we are grateful to her.

A dream trip
(Translated by Google) A trip to Canada is different from all other destinations. It is not the exoticism of Asia nor that of Africa. Nor is it Europe with its history. It is quite another thing. The wide open spaces, the gigantism of the Saint Laurent, the Quebecois accent. All this contributes to a successful trip, but the main thing is of course the careful preparation of this trip thanks to the knowledge of the country and the professionalism of Marie-Pascale who knew how to understand our expectations and guided us in our decisions. Indeed Authentic Canada is above all a facilitator who does not impose anything, but proposes, and allows to make the right choices (of stages, accommodation, activities ...) according to the centers of interest of each . A next trip to Canada? AUTHENTIC CANADA. [...]
A very beautiful trip, in a very beautiful country.
(Translated by Google) Our trip was a success, we discovered Canada and its people, their kindness and their willingness to serve well. Some cities like Quebec are pleasant and on a human scale, others like Toronto are overwhelmingly gigantic.
Our hotels have for the most part been of good quality, with one downside, however, for the hotels in the city center, which are quite badly insulated phonetically from the hustle and bustle of the street and the police sirens. Our route during these 15 days filled us with enthusiasm and surprised us with the beauty of the sites visited.
We thank the AUTHENTIC Canada team, we will go through your agency again for a future trip.

whale safari
(Translated by Google) Everything was perfect except for the whale safari at Les Escoumins.
Obviously there were a lot of whales this year in Tadoussac according to the encounters we had.
The safari was limited to 2 hours in the zodiac and only one stop when we came across a fin whale. The two people from the company spent their time talking to each other and obviously didn't care about the tourists who were not satisfied with their attitude. They were reported animals offshore but they refused to stop. We are very disappointed by this experience because we also came to Quebec to observe them. Obviously everyone is satisfied with the companies that are in TADOUSSAC.
[...]
An extraordinary journey
(Translated by Google) Our trip had no false note (apart from the cancellation of the ferry) and will remain in our memories forever. We loved Quebec with its majestic landscapes and especially its people. The cruise allowing us to observe the whales is one of our fondest memories.
Contact, services, contingency management: excellent
(Translated by Google) Great experience with Authentik Canada. The selection of accommodation and activities was rich and in line with our expectations (and certainly many others!). The services were up to the promises of the site. Many exchanges with our adorable advisor Marie-Pascale whose opinions have always been most judicious! The road book is a great travel tool (Remember to print the vouchers before leaving, this avoids tearing the pages of the road book!) No worries with the GPS: super practical to have all the destinations pre-programmed!
Our favorites: breakfast at the top of the Hilton hotel facing the CN Tower in Toronto, Niagara Falls, Pourvoirie Valga with beavers and marshmallows by the campfire and Quebec City.
Authentik Canada was able to find us an alternative solution to the damage to our initial ferry... everything was taken care of!
A trip that will remain in our memories for a long time... partly also thanks to Authentik Canada, we will leave with them! In a word, do not hesitate to trust them!

3 week trip to Canada
(Translated by Google) Karolane was able to listen to us during the preparation to offer us a tailor-made trip: several email/chat exchanges and several quotes before arriving at the formula that suits us. We appreciated having, for each destination, a choice of accommodation and activity proposals. Great also their downloadable travel guide on the internet, and the many documents to prepare your trip.
On site: When we arrived, at the 1st hotel, the roadbook was waiting for us. The whole stay went as planned, no booking problems. The activities chosen have all given us satisfaction. The accommodations were on the whole very well located and of good quality.
Karolane also accompanied us during our trip by answering our questions.
3 superb weeks, very beautiful country, very friendly people. To be done again in winter (and with Authentik!) :-D
3 very small possible improvements: We would have just liked that in the guide to "driving in canada", it is indicated that on the highways limited to 100km, we can drive up to 120km because we knew it the day before our departure;- )
In the roadbook, for Native Americans, indicate the route coming from Quebec.
It could also be interesting to indicate if the hotels have washer/dryer machines.
[...]
A completely successful tailor-made self-drive!
(Translated by Google) Superb 3-week journey made almost tailor-made on the basis of the "Canadian treasures" circuit thanks to the very clear and practical website and our advisor Karolane to finalize: from Montreal to Toronto via the parks of Gaspésie, Mauricie, Mont-Tremblant... but also via Ottawa, the Thousand Islands, the Saguenay Fjord... with whale and bear sightings and on the way visit the Omega Animal Park... Very complete and very practical road-book. The advice given there is important but should be supplemented by tourist guides for certain activities and restaurants. A good rhythm with some stages that are a bit long but you have to go through it:
- Notre Dame du Portage: 1 night (long drive from Montreal)
- Escoumiac (Chaleurs bay): 1 night
- Percé (Bonaventure Island cruise): 1 night
- Gaspé (Forillon Park): 1 night (step that would have deserved 2 nights)
- Gaspésie Park: 2 nights
- Les Escoumins (whale safari): 2 nights
- Baie St Paul (bear watching): 1 night (caution: bear watching can end after 4 p.m. then quite long road to Grandes Piles)
- Grandes PIles (Mauricie Park): 2 nights
- Mont Tremblant (mountain, lake and park): 2 nights
- Ottawa: 2 nights (see Omega Park on the road)
- Kingston (Thousand Islands cruise): 1 night (see Fort Henry in Kingston)
- Niagara Falls: 1 night (see Niagara on the Lake and Fort Georges)
- Toronto: 2 nights (using Signtseeing bus with 48h pass and cruise on the islands facing the city)
GPS rented with all the pre-recorded destinations (sometimes a little off the mark on arrival!? but we always found our destination by cross-checking with the vehicle's GPS...).
Round trip flights with Air Transat, hassle-free (don't forget your headphones, otherwise you will have to pay on board!).
Almost new SUV type car (Jeep Compass) rented from Thrifty with pick-up in Montreal (Convention Center) and drop-off after more than 4000 kms in Toronto (Union Station): be careful, all declared drivers must be present when picking up the vehicle. vehicle to sign the contract!? no attempt to sell unplanned benefits or insurance, however much lower abandonment fees than advertised on the site ($100 vs. 400)... good news to start the holidays! In addition, the refueling was done for free contrary to what was announced on the site (tank to be returned of course full!).
All the accommodations were of high quality, well located especially in Ottawa and Toronto, varied from the very family-friendly B&B inn to the large hotel, including a few chain establishments. Always a very warm welcome, especially in the hostels... and gargantuan breakfasts (small for us!)... The Natakam Condos are very pleasant apartments with fully equipped kitchens and a superb view of the St Laurent. The Mont Albert cottage is also a comfortable establishment ideally located within the Gaspésie park (remember to ask for picnic bags, very complete for a snack at lunchtime during hikes).
All the planned activities lived up to our expectations: whale safari, bear watching, boat cruises to Percé, the Thousand Islands and Niagara Falls.
It should be noted that the natural parks, whose entrances are payable, are very well laid out and maintained, the paths well indicated and marked out, with very clear documentation available in the discovery centres.
In short, a perfectly successful holiday!

very nice trip
(Translated by Google) exceptional trip, sound advice, very friendly and very responsive advisor. We will gladly leave with Authentik Canada
Wonderful trip to a wonderful country helped by wonderful people!!!!!
(Translated by Google) We visited all the main major cities in Eastern Canada Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec as well as Niagara Falls completed by an immersion in nature in an Outfitter
This represents a fairly complete panorama of landscapes and way of life. From urban life with its modern tall buildings like Toronto, the city of finance, and going up to the North little by little, the cities are transformed with a mixture of modernity and history to arrive in the North of Quebec at the life of large natural spaces with all the fauna and flora that make the richness of this country.
For this we had the chance to make this journey with Authentik Canada who helped us from the beginning of the study of our trip until the end of the realization of this one and who showed availability and advice. copies!!! A big thank you to them who allowed us to realize one of our travel dreams!!! Thank you Sophie!!!!

Unforgettable
(Translated by Google) 3 weeks of pure happiness on Canadian soil. From Montreal, Charlevoix, Tadoussac, La Gaspésie, Quebec, Thousand Islands, Toronto and Niagara. We had a wonderful and unforgettable stay thanks to Marie Eve, our advisor, who prepared everything for us. Fabulous places, amazing people, a warm welcome. Gaspésie is really to be discovered. We are not disappointed with this trip and we highly recommend it. [...]
3 wonderful weeks!
(Translated by Google) We spent our honeymoon on the roads of Quebec for 3 weeks! It was just beautiful, magical! We lived exceptional moments and made very good encounters!
We will be back but in winter this time!
Unforgettable family trip
(Translated by Google) We liked the diversity of landscapes and the mix of city and countryside activities. Canada is an exceptional country with an extraordinary sense of hospitality.
We particularly liked the hostels, the hotel formula in Montreal was disappointing.
The activities offered during our stay were of high quality, Authentik Canada's commitments were kept, we will leave without hesitation even if it is necessary to plan a substantial budget for daily expenses (food, etc.).
[...]
Really great trip!!!!
(Translated by Google) Truly superb trip, the services are of very good quality. I would start new circuits with Authentik Canada in the very near future...
The personalization of the circuit is a major asset, as is the contact with a single, very responsive adviser!
