The American West
Un moment exceptionnel dans des paysages spectaculaires
Je ne peux que recommander Authentik USA pour leur professionnalisme, leur gentillesse, leur disponibilité, leur prévoyance… aucun regret. Merci à Pierre-Louis et à toute l’équipe!
Very nice trip made with the effective help of Authentik
(Translated by Google) Our trip to the American West allowed us to visit grandiose and unforgettable sites. Las Vegas, the Parks: Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Monument Valley, Zion, …. Meetings and visits to absolutely do: the Navajos, Bluff… Lots of memories that will stay in our minds; our photos now allow us to relive these magical moments.
Thank you to Authentik for effectively supporting us in the construction and monitoring of our road trip.
Bravo for the kindness, responsiveness and efficiency of your Authentik USA Team! Thanks to Pierre-Louis!!

West road trip - 15 days
(Translated by Google) Our stay went very well, the hotels were relatively decent, the car rental was impeccable.
it would have been wise to specify, despite everything, which hotels have or do not have a restaurant, this for late arrivals.
The road book should have been more personalized, particularly regarding the Arizona-Utah time change, it would have been necessary to specify, depending on the direction of our road trip, how to change the time, because even for the locals it seems confusing.
We didn't understand why some hotels offer a king bed and others 2 beds.
The Navajo evening at Monument Valley is recommended, the Navajo guide really took the time to explain his culture to us and take us to unusual and magical places.

Great road trip but relatively expensive
(Translated by Google) All of the sites visited (main parks in the American West) are magnificent. And no two are alike. On the other hand, the activities offered by Authentik are more expensive than if you take them locally.
Excited about our trip to the American West
(Translated by Google) We were delighted with our stay in the American West. Both the hotels were very close to the sites we wanted to visit, the activities were of very good quality and the road book helped us get to know the places to visit better and allowed us to choose good restaurants. A big thank you to Véronique for her precious advice and the answer to our questions before our departure. We loved the magnificent landscapes of the different parks but will also keep our helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon as an emotional highlight as well as our evening with the Navajo in Monument Valley.

Exceptional roadtrip thanks to the expertise of Authentik USA
modify a few steps to improve the pace
(Translated by Google) we are very satisfied
do not hesitate to ask for some modifications to the proposed itinerary to adapt it to your taste
Very beautiful American parks, up to my expectations.
(Translated by Google) Very nice circuit in the American parks but tiring given the distances traveled.
On the other hand, we did not like Las Vegas and the hotel chosen (Oyo)
Very nice trip
(Translated by Google) Good timing on the various trips between the sites. Very useful and well done road book. Very good availability of our advisor and good advice. No booking problem.
Difficult to calculate a budget on the spot because taxes to be added to the advertised prices.
The Lake Powell site is a bit disappointing and does not require 2 days.
Few efforts by Americans to be welcoming and to introduce their country.
[...]
An amazing family road trip
(Translated by Google) We are extremely satisfied with our stay.
For our part :
- a day at Lake Powell is enough when you're not doing Antelope Canion.
- some hotels deserve a refresh, namely Lake Powell and Ghent canion resort. Also no wifi.
- more details would be useful, examples: mandatory pants for the horseback ride, Peek à boo, closed meeting bridge and delay of the guide.
- these are just a few points for improvement because the trip itself is exceptional and we spent 3 memorable weeks.
- we will definitely go back to Authentik for a future trip.

A fantastic trip
(Translated by Google) Great trip to discover the American West, with its vastness and diversity. A real treat !!!!
Thanks to Authentik USA for their help and for the reservations, it allowed us to travel peacefully.
Perfect from the choice of the trip until its end!
(Translated by Google) We had a perfect trip from start to finish. Contacts with Authentik have always been quick and easy. The roadbook is fabulous and the suggestions for places, routes and restaurants are absolutely perfect. No disappointment. Cheer !
Speechless
(Translated by Google) So well organized, the roadbook accompanied and helped us as a guide. 0 hassle, from the first time we went to the authenticik site to the return from our trip, everything was organized simply and... what a time saver for us! Thanks to Caroline who has always been responsive to our requests!
Great trip
(Translated by Google) We are extremely satisfied with this trip.
Just a small point: we were asked for a voucher to the Bryce Canyon Pines stage which we did not have. We were unable to reach you as the phone message indicated assistance when we called. The hotel finally accepted us but the situation was not pleasant for a few minutes...
Excellent benefits
(Translated by Google) this trip, dreamed of for a long time, was organized by Authentikusa which correctly fulfilled its mission.
Everything was perfect: the preparation of the trip, the listening of our expectations, the sending and the quality of the documents in particular of the roadbook, the choice of the hotels, the reservations: the car, pass of the parks, gps... Nothing to repeat. We appreciated the preprogrammed gps (with the singing voice that reminded us of Quebec) and that you offered us.
the trip went perfectly without any problems. thanks to Manon

Organisation - visite- hotel
(Translated by Google) Organization: good, except for a hotel where the reservation was for tomorrow
Visit: good pace, canyonland and arch park was too much for us after monument Valley. We would have preferred more time on Zion (2 nights).
Hotel: The hotels in Las Vegas and Mammoth Lake were magnificent. The hotels in Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Canyonland were not terrible at all. Dark room and average comfort. Ratings on tripadvisor confirm what we thought. For the price, there were better.

A fabulous trip, but somewhat taxing for people aged 70 and over
(Translated by Google) Apart from forgetting the GPS everything worked perfectly. The circuit is very well studied to make you discover at each stage landscapes as grandiose as
new! It's little god that they are breathtaking. we experience very strong emotions while trying to do and see as many things as possible in the allotted time. The weather at the end of April was very pleasant and there were fewer tourists than in high season. Only downside, in Bryce it was cold, but what a sight, especially at sunset! I would have liked more time in Bryce, even if it meant skipping the Death Valley stage which for me was agonizing and trying!
Impressive also the crossing of these vast wild expanses, the roads are very good and the road indications easy to follow. The roadbook is very well done, we have supplemented it with travel guides. Good selection of hotels, small disappointment for the Archway Inn

The dreamy American West
(Translated by Google) a trip to the American West to discover its wonders!
Top trip but don't go through Authentik USA
(Translated by Google) This trip is magical with breathtaking landscapes throughout the stay
Favorites for Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horse Shoe Bend
Medium: Zion
Eyeful
(Translated by Google) Being taken care of in this way is really an incomparable comfort.
The services are of an excellent level, we did not have to worry about it. contact our advisor, the road book is so well done.
So we were able to devote our time to take full eyes.
Thank you Charlotte
We will surely return to the American continent, Canada or USA we now know to. who to contact us.
[...]
UTAH parks
(Translated by Google) excellent organization by Charlotte, available and attentive; listening to us: she went out of her way to make the trip stick to your needs; our expectations, which has been the case!!!
thanks thanks!
The activities were perfect (rafting then mountain biking in Moab/Arches, horseback riding in Monument Valley!)
Sometimes motels a bit dated but always very clean and ultimately pleasant to stay in. live
The best: Driftwood Lodge at; Zion!
frankly, nothing wrong; say: excellence and responsiveness, we will again have recourse to your services!

A total change of scenery in the American West.
(Translated by Google) My family and I spent a great vacation. Firstly because there were only very favorable climatic circumstances during the whole roadtrip from 20/02 to 08/03. Mild temperatures in Las Vegas and dry cold during the rest of the road plus snow and blue skies to embellish the photos!!!
and above all, each stage has reserved its surprises and its share of wonder.
The roadbook guided us well. whether for the route, or for advice on points of interest even if it is incomplete, or for restoration. On the other hand it would have to be a little more personalized, that is to say it would have had to take into account the season, that it is necessary to pay attention to the insolation in death valley n' is not useful for example (ç did a little too much copy pasting;)
I advise anyone who wants to experience a traveling trip for the first time to choose the American West. I initially wanted to do it in a motorhome but I retracted; because of the season. But I plan to return to visit this region in a motorhome as a duo and take advantage of the advice of Authentik Usa. I don't regret going there in low season because there are a lot fewer people and it's much more peaceful.
I really liked take the road despite the distances because the landscape is magnificent, and we never encounter aggressive driving.
Above all, do not be afraid to make a long journey.
I have always chosen the economic range offered by Authentik for overnight stays. It's really very satisfying both for the service and the comfort, during a roadtrip you stay there 1 to 3 nights maximum so it's not useful to want more. On the other hand, I did not have much breakfast. included, it's so nice to have one!

Roadtrip responding to; all our hopes
(Translated by Google) We went as a family for two weeks. Destinations: the national parks of the American West departing and returning from/to; Vegas. The timing was very good, except for the distance between Las Vegas and Grand Canyon. We borrowed Route 66 from Oatman (not to be missed) and this to Seligman. As it was not planned in the roadtrip, we underestimated time and distance. So we had to zap some 'attractions' from this famous road. [...]
perfect
(Translated by Google) very well organized trip
(Translated by Google) We liked organization, and the daily adventure. Small suggestion: you should book hotels and campsites in the name of the customer and not in the name of the adviser; travel .
(Translated by Google) I have been very satisfied. I particularly liked capacity to respond to all requests and program modifications in order to offer the most suitable trip; to My wishes.
Only the delays between my requests and the responses provided seemed a bit long to me.
(Translated by Google) We appreciated regularity in the right level of accommodation, especially at Monument Valley (detached house with 3 bedrooms with high views over the valley). Efficiency and kindness of our interlocutor Michelle Boucher (problem quickly resolved in Las Vegas with FEDEX).
On the other hand, the distance of the hotel "Best Western Plus Abbey Inn" from St George from Zion Park (1 hour drive) was less convenient.
Special thanks to; Michelle Boucher from AuthentikUSA for her availability, her kindness, her efficiency; and his advice for the preparation of our trip.
[...]
(Translated by Google) We particularly appreciated availability from our advisor to satisfy us as much as possible. The circuit itself and the quality reserved hotels
The length of the Death Valley / Sequoia Park stage to see the remarkable trees was perhaps too much, especially since the next day there are still very beautiful specimens to be seen. Yosemite or even more beautiful, the Grisly and the hollow redwood are very beautiful. Sequoia Park could be forgotten; and replaced by another site.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Everything was well organized, very precise, in short, everything was perfect!
(Translated by Google) The circuit was well thought out.
The GPS we provided was completely discharged, as there was no mains power, we were only able to use it 3 or 4 days later, after the have loaded by car and having studied some operation at; stage (instead of having been able to do it more quietly in Las Vegas. Furthermore, in your advice, driving in the USA, include: - information on the opening of the rear doors and the trunk (in our case, a 2nd then a 3rd click of the remote control). Indeed, no information from the lessor when handing over the car on its main controls. - information European CBs do not operate at the pump, it is necessary to prepay at the cash desk, mentioning the number of the pump, then generally by serial number. select the type of fuel at the pump before being able to use it Apart from that, we are satisfied with the good functioning of the car and the ease of circulation in the USA (quality of roads and signage).
We have been very satisfied with the choice and the quality. accommodations. However, we deplore the organization of the breakfast at the Best Western Greenfeld in Moab (moreover good in terms of the room, the swimming pool, the self-service Internet): plastic cutlery as in airplanes, badly reheated and even practically cold hot dishes, the impossibility of to have eggs "as you like" reflecting the absence of a cook. All this under snack services! Note that the Szechuan restaurant, otherwise excellent and inexpensive, is not managed. by the hotel as you mention, which resulted in a misunderstanding with the front desk of the hotel. Finally, information on food and restaurants would be useful in the travel diary. As far as we are concerned, we had previously made the necessary effort to search for information on the Internet.
RAS at the level of activities at; except for an inaccuracy in your roadbook. Contrary to what you indicate the appointment does not take place at; the Platinum Hotel due to the impossibility of for the service provider to park in front of the hotel reception. The meeting takes place in front of the reception of the Hotel Tuscany at; 500 m away.
The travel diary was our big disappointment. In general, I deplore the separation into two parts of the detailed itinerary, which is completely unproductive. For a given day, the traveler must have before their eyes; both tourist advice and route guidelines, including the alternative direct route/tourist route. In addition, the route directives are written in characters that are too small, difficult to read. reading in the car (think of those who don't have a GPS, which was our case for the first 3 or four days. Some of these instructions are completely wrong, such as: 1/ the day of September 23 (LP/MV 278 kms instead of 214, 3:01 instead of 2:21, a directive 11 take left on MV rd completely imaginary, as well as the distances of the final directives 12 and 13 mentioned; es for 10.1 miles instead of 4.6 The route to the Bluff hotel is just as fanciful with directive 2 and 3 purely and simply to be deleted and distances and total durations exaggerated accordingly. 2/ the day of September 24 indicated for 400 Kms instead of 163 and 4h28 instead of 1 hour 44. Thereafter, we no longer consulted the route instructions in the roadbook and able to use the GPS as well as the road maps, on which the r All tourist routes were well signposted. As for the detailed itinerary (sic) you indicate as a "don't miss" the Fiery Furnace hike of the Parc des Arches, without indicating: - That it is a a very difficult hike with very delicate passages. - That the hike must be guided, either by Rangers (when we inquired, the tour was "sold out" until 19/10) or agencies in town. On the day of September 30, I do not see how it would be possible to access Death Valley without taking route 190 ("the best would be to enter via route 190 and go to Dante's View"...) Finally, I quickly go over the miles/kms conversion table completely reversed.
Well laid out circuit, a bit spoiled; by the indigent roadbook and the unloaded GPS; initially provided. Good choice of hotel, especially at Las Vegas and St Georges.
