Road Trip USA

Simply awesome

perfect trip

(Translated by Google) The trip was very well organized, down to the smallest detail. We are really satisfied with your services and we recommend them to our loved ones. We had almost nothing to do. busy to leave and were yet well prepared when we arrived in the US. A word of advice: think about; tell us under what name the reservations are made because sometimes they could not find us in the name of LAPORTE. [...]

A perfectly timed sumptuous road trip and organized!

(Translated by Google) We were able to discover in 16 days almost all of the of the most grandiose sites in the American West. Certainly our road trip would have deserved a few extra days to be able to take full advantage of all the magical places we have come across, but after 4500km we do not regret a single mile of this incredible adventure. It must be understood that during a road trip car journeys represent 60% of the stay but the American roads, in spite of their "average" state, are of a beauty. absolute and are an integral part of the magic of travel. [...]

(Translated by Google) A magnificent trip that will remain in our memories. Very well organized! Perfect hotel, great roadbook, also great car! I recommend this agency! No worries at all; everything is perfectly organized

very nice trip but tiring (jet lag and heat)

(Translated by Google) We would like to thank Authentik USA for its professionalism, its responsiveness; and quality of his services.
Our contact person Virginie was perfect, we already have recommended Authentik USA at; our friends and we will gladly go back with them.
Thank you also for the GPS which was given to us. Free.
See you soon

Wonderful

Overall satisfactory trip but with two negative points

(Translated by Google) Positives like
Reservations that have been do it right
The quality of the chosen hotels except for the last hotel of the circuit (Nob Hill Hotel in San Francisco)
the points to to visit

Some middle points (examples)
A very long wait when picking up the rental car from the Sté DOLLARS to; Los Angeles (about 1h30: No vehicles available (being washed!) which leads to a long queue!!!)

A bug in the way of booking a hotel
On July 09, we leave lake powell towards monument valley to follow your travel diary, i.e. 196 km
after this visit we go to; our hotel in; Tuba city is 156 km
On July 10, you tell us to go to the Parc des Arches à Grave; moab is 400 km
The concern is that we have moved on. that day in front of monument valley, i.e. almost 310 km back and forth and almost 4 hours by car for nothing...

Two very negative point
The last hotel booked to San Francisco (the Nob Hill hotel) is very poor!!! is tiny, same for the double bed, Hotel very badly soundproofed, the curtains on the windows are transparent... impossible to rest before taking the plane back and this for two days of meadow. sence to san francisco

An addition of 23 dollars per day for additional insurance for the rental car (lack of information from your services on this point) [...]

American West Coast

High quality service

(Translated by Google) The road trip was perfect. The hotels chosen were very good. Organization of professionals. Great responsiveness to our requests and very friendly staff. We will not fail to do & new call for them for other trips

(Translated by Google) We appreciated in our experience the clarity the very well organized Roadbook; and without surprises, the quality proposed hotels. Everything was fine from A to; Z! :-) We can't find anything. to say back to; the organization.

(Translated by Google) What we liked the most : Autonomy. The quality hotels in general. The respect of our wishes as for the circuit. Helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon.

What we liked least : The Clairion Inn hotel at Page that needs more than external improvement. Poorly soundproofed, HS fridge that we asked for. to to change. The overflowing trash can in the breakfast room when you come down around 9.30am. The boardwalk on Lake Powell which was canceled at the last moment for lack of customers. All reservations had to be confirmed the day before except this one. The harsh climate at Bryce Canyon. We met extreme cold and snow which we did not expect. [...]

(Translated by Google) Exceptional experience. We really liked it. the new travel guide provided with the main attractions to visit in; each stop.

Only problem: We chose a tour and there were 3 of us, which poses a problem for the rooms. We were told it would have 3 beds each time or at least a sofa. Because 2 men in a 140cm bed sometimes was really not practical and not very comfortable. [...]

(Translated by Google) We were very satisfied. Michelle Boucher prepared us; a trip as we had envisioned it; and which was for both of us, among other things, a journey that will remain with us. the most important life of all those we had made so far.

A suggestion to make it easier to to arrive at the hotel: that in addition to the address of the hotel, it is associated with the GPS coordinates (Latitude and Longitude).

[...]

(Translated by Google) Excellent choice of parks to visit. The rental price of the motorhome is on the other hand high.

Thanks to; Stéphanie TRUDEAU from authentik usa for the availability; over the phone and by email. the organization and reservation of the various campsites.

(Translated by Google) Top notch service! We enjoyed the proximity of the Authentik USA consultant and the possibility of to modulate to; its convenience the road trip before departure.

Small flat for the hotel in Death Valley.

We nominate William from Gocalifornia for his knowledge of the city during our city tour at; foot.

(Translated by Google) Frequent email contacts, replies to emails. our quick and effective questions, adaptation of the journey according to our desires, warmth in the exchanges, quality; hotels (even in eco) and... The roadbook! Extremely complete and well-made tool, a very solid reference for travelers, with lots of useful advice and precious little details to remember. know: a nice surprise! The GPS service also: very practical pick-up and drop-off. the hotel !

It would be necessary to make different hotel proposals for each night (while maintaining the eco, comfort or charm range fixed at the start): this allows you to adjust as well as possible to the route and the planned visits , as well as choosing your hotel according to your needs (fridge, microwave, laundry available or not, swimming pool, proximity or not to places to visit, etc.) - too great disparity; in the qualities of a hotel despite all the care taken by Authentik USA: some were too luxurious compared to; the eco range (in Vegas in particular). - environment of the hotel Cova à àgrave; San Francisco catastrophic despite beautiful rooms and very good service: Tenderloin is full of tramps and drug addicts... Our daughters (teenagers) were afraid to go home. the hotel after the walks. Too bad it didn't allow us to go out at night. - provide by email a more precise map of Los Angeles (if LA is the starting point of the trip): the rental of the car was not made at; the planned place (Thristy instead of Dollar) and we got lost in LA to find our hotel without GPS (which was waiting for us at the hotel!) [...]

(Translated by Google) Perfectly organized trip, with no unpleasant surprises. Information on sites to be visited; very relevant and useful.

The hotel in San Francisco was very well located; but a bit dated and the beds small. After the other hotels the contrast compared to the hotel. the size of the beds was great. It would be necessary to find a hotel as well placed as but with better rooms.

The Italian guide, David, of the Authentik USA city tour spoke very good French and showed us around the city of San Francisco through the city. foot by giving us very interesting historical and cultural information. Moreover, he was charming and very pleasant.

(Translated by Google) Ease to adapt the circuit to; our expectations: changes in the duration of certain stages, addition of other stages, availability and reactivity of Valérie PIN, as well as patience and kindness. in total a real listening and real advice when our choices were not adapted

The duration of certain stages (considering the distance from one point to another) and the accommodation at distance from the park (I'm thinking Sequoia National Park: leaving Death Valley => Sequoia National Park => Fresno for accommodation) would ask; be extended or modified. the distance is too great for the day and does not allow you to take full advantage of this magnificent place.

Nothing to do to say on the accommodation point: all the hotels were perfect, your selections are excellent (we had budget and mid-range hotels): a special mention for the accommodation at the hotel. Monument Valley (Goulding's) with the view of the park from the room and the restaurant which serves Navajo cuisine.

Nothing to do say but overall we are frustrated not to have been able to spend several days at; Zion especially for several days of hiking!! but you are there for nothing!

The travel diary: perfect. a special mention for the maps of each of the states crossed with the route in color. the organization was impeccable, nothing to worry about; say.

THE person who met us at the Dollar car rental company for the formalities was a woman but I did not keep it. his name in memory. She has been very friendly, smiling, we joked, really an excellent welcome.
[...]

(Translated by Google) The fact that everything is already planned to our arrival on the sites is really extraordinary. This gives us time to enjoy our trip to the fullest.

Small problem when picking up the car with Dollar. Almost 2 hours of waiting at; Los Angeles and a supplement of almost $400 because the voucher was not in the right name. The problem has nevertheless been solved. very well managed by our adviser to avoid us this supplement. On the other hand, in terms of waiting, I believe that this is recurrent at all times. the Dollar branch near the Los Angeles airport.

Perhaps suggest in the travel diary some interesting points of view on the road. [...]

(Translated by Google) It's very comfortable to have lots of documents (route book, map, magazines...) delivered to the first place of accommodation. The routes to borrow, described in the roadbook, are very comprehensive.

Overall satisfactory in terms of accommodation, except for share in the cities, where hotels were sometimes noisy (in San Francisco and Los Angeles).

A thank you to; William from the company Go California for the city tour àgrave; walk from San Francisco was simply awesome! William is well documented. on his city! He really speaks French! he makes us visit places that we would not go alone to tell us about the history of the city. He gives us places to eat, he explains how to see the "real" San Francisco. [...]

(Translated by Google) We liked : The reactivity of our adviser and the speed of his responses to our questions. - The documents provided (roadbook). - The route. - The quality services and reservations (choice of hotels and car rental agency).

The hotel "Navajo Quality Inn Nation" in; Tuba city: the distance from the Monument Valley site (3 hours round trip in addition to the route provided in the roadbook) and the breakfast (standing in the hall, waiting more than 20 minutes for the replenishment to be made). - The hotel "Cova hotel" at San Francisco: very good quality hotel (comfort and breakfast) but it is located in a not very reassuring neighborhood (lots of homeless people nearby).

Possibly include in the travel diary the guides and plans of the various parks of the route (hikes, activities, ...) to be able to better organize the day on the site (saving time on arrival ;e). [...]

(Translated by Google) Possibility many exchanges (telephone, email) for the organization of the stay, allowing to personalize the trip very precisely.

A case where the level of hotel services (sleeping) was lower than normal. the wait relative to the hotel level (Westin Monache - Mammoth Lake). On the other hand, the restoration was indeed excellent.

We wanted to include a moment of pose in our journey: the stage of Mammoth Lake is probably not the most appropriate. There are many activities in this city, but not very easy to access. The Bryce Canyon stage (accommodation at Tropic - Stone Canyon Inn) is exceptional and deserves to be highlighted even more (accommodation and hiking sites).

Nothing to do repeat at the level of the travel diary: all the useful information was available. Very good initiative with the indication of direct routes and alternative scenic routes (Route 66 and Pacific coast between Monterey and San Francisco).

Organization: No unpleasant surprises and the one or two incidents were processed immediately (see comment above for Westin Monache as well as booking for a show in Las Vegas). [...]

(Translated by Google) Possibility to visit the most significant sites of the American West and absence of unpleasant surprises concerning the organization. Everything was perfectly in line with the Road Book.

The hotels are of good quality. variable, ranging from excellent (in Las Vegas) to noisiest (Mammoth Lake).

The RoadBook is at complete with local guides of course. Perfect travel diary, with the addition of a GPS. Some welcome suggestions for visits. The roadbook and the attached maps showed the whole route with each stage, perfect.

Organization: Perfect. However, some stages were very long. The visit to Monument Valley needs to be improved as the accommodation at Tuba City is poorly located. We think that a two-day stage between Las Vegas and San Francisco is desirable to breathe a little.

Thanks to; Val&érie Pin from Autentik USA. was always done quickly with a maximum index of satisfaction. This gave us great confidence from the start, making it possible to finalize this journey. [...]

(Translated by Google) Thank you for everything !! The professionalism, the advice, the precise road book, the choice of hotels, the flexibility; of the course.

Transport: compliant with; our expectations.

In terms of accommodation, it would be necessary to ensure air conditioning in all hotels (1 on our route was not and the heat in the room was difficult to bear).

Activities: only good advice.

Travel diary: clear and precise.

Organization: very good, no worries, good organization.

William BURNET from gocalifornia.com was able to introduce us to San Francisco with his anecdotes and his perfect knowledge of the city's history by taking us through the charming (but steep) streets of this beautiful city. [...]

(Translated by Google) Everything went perfectly well. Availability from Valerie for the preparation was greatly appreciated. Authentik USA allowed us to discover the American West in excellent conditions. Thank you for everything !

The accommodations were true to standard; what has been proposed and the perfectly detailed travel diary.

Thanks to; Val&érie Pin for her availability; and its speed response to our different requests. [...]

(Translated by Google) Judicious choice of sites to be to visit, good selections of accommodation, ease of access to change the route to the menu, availability counselors.

Agency at; recommend !

(Translated by Google) Very good organization and sound advice.

In terms of transport, the journey is sometimes a bit long with children.

Accommodation: in principle ok except for that of Fresno, hotel quality inn

We really enjoyed it. the turn to; walk from San Francisco!

The travel diary is ideal for following our journey and for advice so as not to miss what there is to discover. see.

Organization very well (small miss at the start because we did not have the road book in time) and big problem of GPS billed. by the company rental when it was to be offered.

Thanks to; Michelle Boucher (authentic usa) because I modified the program of the stay at least 6 times and she always proposed to me; an adapted program to my family situation and has always given good advice. [...]

(Translated by Google) We greatly appreciated the speed answers to; our questions. The friendliness and availability by mich`le boucher was extremely appreciable. Similarly, while we have had the estimate changed quite frequently, it has always been a good idea. done without worries and very quickly.

The hotels were generally well maintained. very well. Only the hotel has; fresno was average. We were the only hotel guests but the room was okay. The hotels in Bryce canyon (with its great restaurant), at; redwood and furnace creek canyon were great.

The duration between the sites and the activities were correct, which made it possible to take a little time. Regarding the activities themselves, it was very very beautiful (especially San Francisco, Yosemite and Bryce canyon...)

We enjoyed it very much. the travel diary. Having the road maps with small annotations on them was very nice. Also, having little tourist cards (Los Angeles and San Francisco) was very handy.

Very good organization, we had no surprises. Everything was very well reserved. [...]

(Translated by Google) The sympathy of Mrs. PIN, and the fact that everything went well; without bad surprise is what we appreciated the most. The receptionists of all the hotels visited have always received us with a smile and they have always made us enjoy the services you have reserved for us. />
A point at improve to My opinion; to reach the chosen car rental company (FOX rent a car) you gave us; a telephone number at dial for someone to pick us up, but that number did not work. The solution adopted (on the advice of a French tour operator on site) consisted of: just go to the place where the rental companies' free shuttles pass on a regular basis.
