Advisors listening, responsive, conscientious.
Thank you Marie-Pascale.

Big spaces
(Translated by Google) This road trip allows you to discover Western Canada in all its forms: large wilderness areas, forests, mountains, lakes, ocean, cities, plains, land and sea animals and exceptional panorama.
Be careful, however, of the length of the journeys due to the not always very direct motorways and the low speed limits (often 80 or 90 km/h) which lengthen the journeys (problems completely independent of the organization of Authentik).

Conquest of Western Canada
wonderful journey
(Translated by Google) We had a great trip to Western Canada thanks to Authentik Canada
Starting from a typical circuit, we have modeled it in our own way by increasing the nights in some places and shortening them in others.
If it were to be redone, only one thing to change: stay a little longer in Whistler which is a very nice destination with a lot of things to discover! The seaplane tour provides a magnificent overview, especially with the good weather.

Excellent organization of our stay
(Translated by Google) We had a dream vacation
Road book at the top
GPS with all the addresses of top campsites and excursions
All beautiful campsites. There is only the Wells Gray golf resort campsite, which we liked moderately. We did not have full service for the motorhome. Very average reception.
Very well ! Completely met our expectations
(Translated by Google) The family trip went very well.
We all loved Vancouver, the city, although the weather wasn't great. We loved Vancouver Island, Victoria like Tofino.
The colors of the rocks and the water of the rivers is unreal and splendid.
We liked Banff less and we could have skipped this stage.
To do absolutely I recommend
(Translated by Google) This is the first time I have gone through a travel organizer. you already have a personalized advisor. tiphaine was great. we can make our trip to measure. on arrival we received our very well done roadbook. With the vouchers, the practical information, the tab what to do or eat was super useful. All the hotels offered by Authentik Canada were well seen very well. The brilliant activities. What I liked the most: the roadbook and the responsiveness and professionalism of tiphaine. The least: I don't see any. We want to visit Eastern Canada next time and we will definitely go back to Authentik Canada. [...]
Very nice trip in Western Canada
very favorable
(Translated by Google) Very good experience with Authentik Canada. Tailor-made personalized trip with reservations of hotels of good service and activities of all kinds. Very good contact with our advisor (Émilie), very attentive and responsive. I recommend and I will not hesitate to go back to Authentik Canada if I have the chance to return there.
Fast and impeccable organization
Exceptional trip to Western Canada
(Translated by Google) Wonderful trip where everything was perfect. We did the 15-day road trip by car with all the activities offered. The choices were perfect both in terms of hotels or lodges (I recommend the one in Clearwater which is superb) and in terms of activities (all interesting but of course a plus for the helicopter in Banff, the seaplane in Wishler and the Zodiac for killer whales in Victoria).
We do not even realize that we have done 4000km as the landscapes are extraordinary and varied.
Thanks again to Tiffany for these informed choices (the timing was perfect as well as the hours blocked for the activities)

Perfectly well organized trip, we had all the elements to enjoy the trip without having to worry
(Translated by Google) We loved our trip, because the accommodation was of good quality, the information given on the road book very valuable to optimize our stay.
Perfect balance
(Translated by Google) The circuit was perfectly balanced between places where to vibrate in rhythm with nature and try to perceive the local culture and the essential sites but unfortunately invaded by mass tourism. It is an ideal approach to determine where we will want to return. We loved our trip
and the very judicious choice of accommodation.
Very nice trip well balanced.
(Translated by Google) Our favorites: Jasper National Park, Mount Revelstoke City and Park, Pacific Rim National Park, Black Rock Resort, City of Victoria and the Royal Scott Hotel. We were well received and well served in all the hotels. Least liked: Banff, too touristy town; we could have stayed in Canmore instead of Banff and visited the park from there; the Vancouver-Nanaimo ferry: 2 hour wait, it was Friday afternoon...and $100.00 for 2 adults, one way. Phew. [...]
A great experience in Western Canada!
(Translated by Google) The trip was perfectly well organized, no hitches with the rental car or the hotels (which were all very well placed)!
Rockies (vancouver-Calgary)
three magical weeks
(Translated by Google) Hello all,
We have grouped 2 "road trips" in three weeks: conquest of the West and discovery of the East. A thousand THANKS to Joannie from Authentik Canada who helped, advised and accompanied us so well in the preparation and realization of this wonderful trip. After thousands of kilometers covered, we can say that the beauty of the landscapes, the power of nature, the kindness and benevolence of the Canadians transported us like on a cloud from city to city, from lake to lake, from river to river. ..it is difficult to summarize what we experienced in a few words but each moment will remain unforgettable. Every day we experienced something strong and intense. This country is incredible and we will come back to it with Authentik Canada...

A great vacation
(Translated by Google) We chose Authentik for our 3rd trip to North America.
The proposed itinerary was brilliant, it allowed us to visit this part of the continent that we did not know. Being able to choose your excursions even before the start of the trip is great. The hotels booked for us were very nice.
Have a great vacation!
A great trip organized to perfection
(Translated by Google) We loved this very beautiful trip of almost 3 weeks.
Our advisor was very available and attentive to our needs. There were no hitches, everything went perfectly.
The accommodations were very good: clean, well located, with comfortable bedding. Beware, however, of parking (often paid or free if the license plate is registered beforehand).
Three beautiful holidays
Very good family experience
(Translated by Google) A very nice trip during which we were lucky to have beautiful weather! Emilie was responsive and attentive in adapting the route and the activities to our requests.
We really liked the wild side of the coast of Pacific Rim.
Unforgettable
(Translated by Google) Superb trip with a circuit that meets our expectations which allowed us to discover magnificent landscapes worthy of postcards. The selected hotels offer large rooms and are very well located. Only downsides, many (too) many people in Lake Louise even early (Lake Moraine just as pretty and less crowded) and the smoke from forest fires very present in British Columbia. We escaped it in Alberta which allowed magnificent views and all along the superb "Icefields Parkway". [...]
Damage to the smog
(Translated by Google) Well organized trip in general.
In the roadbook it might have been useful to specify that the ferry from Vancouver to Victoria is Twanwassen and not Horshoebay (although this is also possible but significantly longer).
The steps are long walls; and we spend a day in the car driving: maybe plan optional stops to visit on the way, and to take into account in the timing.
Bad luck for Jasper and Banff national parks. Due to the wildfires in British Columbia (over 600 fires), the sky was leaden, pinkish, opaque and did not let the sun shine through. With the consequences: cold temperatures, dull landscapes, no views of the mountains and a lingering smell of fire. It seems that it's the same every year in August; but, that this year it was particularly marked.

First discovery of western Canada
(Translated by Google) Beautiful program: for a first discovery of this region of Çanada, everything is there.
Splendid natural scenery and we went there for that, we are amazed!
Choice of very disparate hotels: we go from excellence to more average establishments, guided by concerns about availability in the summer on the major sites. In other words, hoteliers know that they are going to sell their room and do not always make the effort to welcome tourists in good conditions. Is it normal to pay extra for wifi in 2018? Not in my opinion...
The fires in British Columbia generated a lot of smoke on the plain and only the rains allowed a return to optimal vision...
A summary of a beautiful trip and a beautiful discovery: the excursions on each stage were really nice and nourish the interest of the trip.
Authentik Canada on top with the presence of Marie Michèle without imposing herself during the trip. Easy exchanges by email, in the event of an incident. We were reimbursed during the stay for a service not consumed for reasons of bad weather, that is to say...
A big thank-you

A great family trip!
(Translated by Google) We left at 6, including 1 baby of 1 year and 1 child of 10 years.
Marie Pascale, helped us to customize the road trip in the opposite direction, and to modify some dates to stay longer in certain places.
There were no problems with reservations (car/hotel/activities), everything went well.
We were even warned of the risk of work on the main roads in order to adjust our arrival time: top!
All the restaurants recommended in the road book were up to par.
It was really a great family trip!
In the improvement points:
1) At the Clearwater accommodation (Wells Gray Gold Resort) we would have liked to have been warned in advance that there was only Clearwater to buy food (50 minutes away), because there was no restaurant in Wells Gray park.
2) In Vancouver, 1 adjacent street from China Town, we came across the intersection of East Hastings & Columbia Streets, right in the junkie/illness district. It really shocked us because it's almost in the city center.
Otherwise, once again, it was really a great trip!

Beautiful landscapes but
(Translated by Google) Wonderful landscapes but 2900 km of car in 2 weeks and some disappointments.
Contents
(Translated by Google) Apart from 2 or 3 hotels and one place (the village of Whistler, which is much too touristy), everything went well and we saw magnificent landscapes and did some interesting activities (bear safari, rafting).
People are very welcoming.
Crossing the Rockies
(Translated by Google) Great trip to the Canadian Rockies
What happiness, what pleasure!!
(Translated by Google) Exceptional trip from all points of view: the organization of the Road trip, the stages, the hotels, the activities... thanks to Laurence's good advice!
Honeymoon
(Translated by Google) the trip went well, we had some problems when delivering the car, but it was quickly resolved.
The number of kilometers is sufficient, we would have liked to have stayed 2 more days on Vancouver Island to discover it a little more, it is the place that we preferred with Jasper National Park.
The passage to Clearwater is pleasant with the visits of the waterfalls all along this road which is unique.
We were able to walk in the middle of nature without having too many people.
The different waterfalls are worth their detour.
What we did not like was the stopover at Lake Louise, the small town only exists for Lake Louise and Le Lac Moraine. We were less quiet to admire the landscape. This place is very popular with tourists from all over the world, and coming to the site at 9:00 am can sometimes be complicated and the car parks closed for lack of space.
Be careful when purchasing, in Canada the taxes are not automatically on the label, but during payment: a small detail that may surprise you when you come from France where VAT is already applied to the sale price.
