About this tour
When Sarah from our team booked this private tour through Fatur Turismo, we got to build our own itinerary around the Hortências and cinnamon plantations in Brazil—no fixed schedule, no group compromises. You're paired with an air-conditioned vehicle and an experienced driver for 4 to 8 hours depending on what you want to see. It's the kind of setup that works if you've got a rough idea of where you want to go but need flexibility to linger, skip, or pivot based on the day. Good for small groups (up to 4 people) who want control over their own pace.

What to expect
You'll start by meeting your driver and hammering out where you actually want to go. This isn't a case of "here's what everyone sees"—you're calling the shots. The vehicle is comfortable and cool, which matters when you're exploring plantations and garden areas in the heat. Sarah found the real value was in the flexibility: we could stop longer at places that grabbed us and skip anything that didn't.
Bear in mind that attraction entry fees and meals aren't included, so you'll be paying separately at each stop. The driver will know the area and can suggest spots, but this isn't a guided commentary tour—you're getting transport and local knowledge, not detailed interpretation of what you're seeing.
Good to know
This suits travellers who want autonomy and don't fit the group-tour mould. Families with young kids benefit from the private space and flexibility to pause for feeds or changes. Small group (max 4 people) keeps things intimate and the vehicle doesn't feel cramped. Accessible vehicles and equipment for infants and mobility needs are genuinely available.
You're responsible for planning the day—if you rock up without a clear idea of what's nearby, you might waste time. Attractions cost extra, and so do meals, which can add up. This is essentially a private driver service with flexibility; you're not getting a tour guide explaining the cinnamon or hortensias, so you'll want to research beforehand or ask your driver for tips.
Bring cash or cards for entry fees and food. Wear sunscreen and hat—you're in Brazilian heat. Best to book in advance with your preferred stops sketched out. Works year-round but summer (Nov–Mar) gets very warm.
