Maude Pepin

According to me, traveling and learning about different cultures brings people together and makes us grow as a person. I have always felt a strong sense of belonging to my Québec / Canadian origins and pleased to share the different aspects of our colorful culture. Because of its diversity, its bilingualism and its natural wonders around every corner, my mission here is to provide you with the most enriching and authentic experience in Canada!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I am an outdoor enthusiast and I love kayaking and canoeing. I like everything that is off the beaten track and It's always a plus when I can bring my dog to activities/accommodations and I do a lot of researches for that because everything is better when your best friend is with you. :)
"

How did you get involved in travel?

"I got the travel bug after my trip to Senegal and I decided to get into the tourism industry. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"My trip to Scotland where I worked as a receptionist is a hostel. The people I met there from around the world and the landscape of the Highlands will remain etched in my memory! "

All of the trip was well organized and was Taylor’s to exactly want we wanted. Most of the hotels selected were great. All do the activities were spaced out well to give us flexibility to do things once we arrived. This was our first time using Kim Kim and we look forward to using them again! Read more

Hotel Reviews
Moose Hotel and Suites
Banff

This hotel was amazing!!! The amenities were great! We enjoyed the rooftop hit pools and room service for breakfast was very convenient! The suite was spacious and the bathroom was really nice! We can’t wait to come back here.

Tips for future travelers

Use the included local transit bus pass. Parking is difficult and it was so nice to have convenient mass transit that was free to us as guests.

Sunset Inn and Suites

The bedroom in the suite we had was tiny! It had a king sized bed but we barely had room to walk around it. We had to move our suitcases out of our way each time we needed to move. Would have rather had a queen bed if meant we had more space. The living room and kitchen were nice. Breakfast was included but had to be ordered ahead of time

Cleanliness & Comfort
Room was clean but space of the bedroom was a major draw back l. It also had a window AC unit with ductwork duck taped to the window and wasn’t very secure. Bedroom had window unit behind the curtain so it blew cold air into the curtain the whole time. Room was visible to other buildings so we had to keep it closed for privacy making the AC unit useless. Fortunately our time of year didn’t require much AC and we were still comfortable

We had our own gondola. We also were able to go early due to it not being busy so we got more time at the top.
