Carl Saulnier-Gagnon
Proud of our country in all his beauties and specificities.
From our languages to our landscapes, you'll get the best experiences possible while you in Canada.
Always trying to support the local entrepreneurs, our network of partners will definitely fit your needs from coast to coast.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Canada is an amazing country with so much nature wonders. From the Rockies out west to the cliff on the Atlantic Coast, there is so many amazing places where you feel so small beside those natural wonders.
BUT being from Montreal, I do LOVE our amazing cities and the communities that lives in all of them. Food, nightlife, markets... I can share some great spots with pleasure :)
"
How did you get involved in travel?
"Luckily, my mom sent me to France with the school for my first travel experience.
As soon as I got there I felt something I've never experienced before and knew that it would be part of my life.
I was lucky enough to travel around the world at a young age and decided to make it a career. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"For me there is nothing like connecting with local communities and to meet amazing people. Growing up my grand father was always talking about Moscow and Russia and I had imagine the city just by all the stories he shared with me.
I was so intrigued by Russia growing up...
As soon as I was able to visit, I went and will always remember the first sight of the Red Square and the feeling I had at that time. I ended up sipping vodka with a local and talking about my grandfather stories. "

Very good trip overall. Disappointed with some of the planning as certain places were closed for 3 years and were still on the intinerary. Overall service was pretty good, barring the weekend replacement Fernanda who dropped the ball. Carl did an overall good job.

I feel that this trip most of the attraction is very repeating. Almost the whole of the 15 days we are viewing lakes and mountains. If want to do other activities,wr still have to pay extra, and the tickets are very expensive. Other than that the instructions for our bookings are also very blurred. Some places we are required to make advance booking but we are unaware in the end we have to pay extra inorder to visit the lakes tour. Thus, overall this trip was a very bad experience for me and my family.
Hi Zhang,
Sorry that you felt this way Western Canada.
The scenery is incredible and with mountains and lakes that's a fact.
I don't understand your comment regarding the extra you needed to pay as all the inclusions were paid and known before your trip.

I would recommend the places that were included in our trip but unsure of the Kimkim Team that handled our arrangements. However, the staff and teams of each place/accommodation that we were staying were amazing.
Thanks to all who made this experience unforgettable for us. Read more
Hi Lani,
Sorry that you had issues with the site and as you had someone in charge of your group this is why communication was all sent directly to her. Sorry about that, it's easier this way when we are working with a group.

Thank you for your follow up Christian.
I'm sorry about your feeling has we spoke about the destination and the programs and you knew about the situation with Tofino. Western Canada is extremely busy during high season and it's hard to get to Banff during summer and feeling alone.
Have a great day
