Ponctuel, cultivë, gentil.
Mario est aussi un très bon chauffeur.
Rien à redire.
Celle ci s est avérée d une grande médiocrité :
- des informations très pauvres et une méconnaissance du pays, son histoire, sa culture
- idem pour la ville de Rio et des endroits visités
- des propos très limités, beaucoup de paroles pour ne rien dire,
- au bout de 20 mn nous avions déjà compris que la journée allez être longue et que la prestation ne serait certainement jamais à la hauteur des 300 eur payés
De la prise de contact, en passant par les nombreux échanges pour l’organisation et les visites nous avons été conquis.
Jérôme est installé au Brésil depuis de nombreuses années. Il connaît parfaitement les us et coutumes locales, l’histoire de la ville de Rio et parle portugais (ce qui n’est pas négligeable à RJ, étant donné que très peu de personnes parlent anglais).
J’ai particulièrement apprécié la visite gastronomique où Jérôme a su nous plonger dans le quotidien des Cariocas. Je n’aurais jamais découvert les mets et endroits que nous a fait découvrir Jérôme.
À noter également, Jérôme partait pour la France peu après notre arrivé mais il nous a trouvé deux autres guides qui ont parfaitement répondu à nos attentes.
Jérôme a été particulièrement disponible pour nous par message alors qu’il était en France et en congés, nous donnant des conseils, organisant nos transferts grâce a des chauffeurs qu’il connaît.
N’hésitez pas si vous allez à RJ, Jérôme est un excellent professionnel qui saura sublimer votre voyage.
