Original historisk kaffegård guidad tur med transfer

This experience was great! We learned so much about the process of growing/making coffee and had a great tasting afterwards!

We had a great experience and learned so much about the historic Fazenda da Taquara coffee farm. Our guide was Wagner and he did an amazing job translating on the tour. He picked us up at our hotel and pointed out many interesting facts as we drove 3 hours from Rio to the coffee farm. When we arrived at the coffee farm, a member of the family gave the actual farm and farmhouse tour. The tour was in Portuguese, and our guide Wagner translated everything into English for us. The family member gave a detailed tour of the coffee farm, including explanations of the coffee production process from growing to washing to roasting. After the coffee tour, we had a tour of the historic farmhouse. There is much history and many antiques in the house that we learned about. All of this was followed by a wonderful lunch of stuffed breads, coffee, and sweets served in the farmhouse. The family members of the original farmhouse were so friendly and welcoming we felt right at home.

My friend and I had a great trip with the guide Monica who was so sweet and friendly. Here we got both the story of the importance of coffee for this country and the past of Brazil and Rio de Janeiro with among others slaves. Monica’s incredible knowledge and enthusiasm made the trip to this coffee plantation both enlightening and very exciting. For anyone interested in exploring Brazilian culture and history through coffee beans, this tour is a must. I highly recommend both Monica and this full-day tour.

Our coffee farm tour in Rio was an unforgettable experience, largely due to our fantastic guide, Monica. She expertly guided us through the rich history of coffee, weaving in interesting stories about Brazil and Rio de Janeiro's past. Monica’s deep knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour both enlightening and engaging. For anyone interested in exploring Brazilian culture and history through the lens of coffee, this tour is a must. Highly recommended!

Very nice and authentic visit, were you are introduced to the family story and the production of high quality organisation Coffee. However, please note it is quite a long drive from Rio (Copacabana).

Wonderful trip to this small coffee plantation with the original colonial house. Our guide , Monica, was really knowledgeable about the history of the country, slavery and plantations. We all really enjoyed meeting Marcelo and his wife and learning about the coffee growing and harvesting process.

The excursion is spectacular. You learn a lot, both about coffee and the history of the Hacienda and Brazil. I highly recommend doing this excursion because of everything you learn and because of how different it is from other river excursions.

Visiting a coffee farm is a wonderful cultural experience that touches our senses and imagination. It's as if we were in a historical soap opera with coffee barons, slaves, social life in the 19th century... Fazenda da Taquara is unique, as we are welcomed and guided by the owner Marcelo, sixth generation of the same family, who tells us the history of the place with great pride. His wife Cleide is lovely and presented us with a delicious homemade corn and guava cake (my youngest daughter devoured half of it! I beg your pardon!🤣). The coffee is special and premium. Everything done with lots of love and dedication. This place deserves to be known and publicized. I brought coffee with me, but when I finish it, my memories of this charming farm will remain. I also cannot fail to thank the guide Mónica Bertazzolo who was tireless in telling us the history of coffee in Brazil and the slaves who worked on the farms. He has great knowledge about the odyssey of slaves. He is a wonderful person who I recommend asking for this and other cultural tours in Rio. I am very grateful for having chosen this tour. It filled my soul and was the best of many I've done.

100% a great tour and a great day for us: Monica - the tour guide - excellent knowledge about Rio / Brazil history - very good English and a very nice person Gregorio - the driver - very safe driving, funny, good English as well Car, pick-up, drop-of, communication from tour agency - all perfect The farm was very nice, a lot of history. The owners, Marcelo and his wife are trying to conserve it and also to produce a high quality coffee. We made a tour around the farm, we visited the historic house, we had a cake, nice coffee and some very nice conversations. All the best from Anca and Mihai from Romania.

Amazing family sharing remarkable history and hospitality with their guests. A unique farm that has been owned by one family for almost two centuries. They keep a lot of original furniture, clothes, tableware, and have renovated a very cozy dining hall for events and gatherings. A special treat is the gourmet coffee grown at this farm. You will learn all the prep steps and enjoy sweet treats baked by the owner’s wife. Be aware that they only speak Portuguese, so you’ll definitely need a guide who speaks your language. Highly, totally, and undoubtedly recommended!! 11 out of 10 stars :)
