Two hours can feel painless here. This private, air-conditioned transfer handles the hard part of getting from Porto Alegre to Gramado, with a driver/guide meeting you at the airport or greeting you at your lodging. The drive covers about 120 km and passes the leather route between New Hamburg and Três Coroas, so you’re not just riding along blank roads.

I particularly like the punctual, careful service described by multiple clients, with drivers who are friendly and focused on safety and comfort. And because this is designed for a small group of up to four, you keep the trip relaxed instead of squeezed into a crowded transfer situation.

One consideration: this is built as a transfer, not a full-day tour. If you want lots of extra stops, you’ll need to plan that in advance, and you should expect the overall timing to stay around 2–3 hours.

Key things to know before you go

• Up to 4 people: perfect for families or a small group, and you keep it truly private.
• 2–3 hour trip time: the drive is planned, so you can build the rest of your Serra Gaúcha schedule with less guesswork.
• Pickup at DESEMBARQUE: at the airport, you’re met at arrival with a sign for the customer or agency.
• Leather-route shopping option: you can stop for leather goods and shoes if that fits your day.
• Baby support available: the service includes a highchair / baby comfort / lifting seat.

Porto Alegre to Gramado: a 120 km transfer with a leather-route stop

If your trip to Gramado starts with a stressful airport-to-hotel shuffle, this transfer removes a big chunk of friction. You’re taking a private ride in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, and the route is planned to cover roughly 120 km to your destination in Gramado.

Along the way, the drive passes the leather route between New Hamburg and Três Coroas. That matters because it turns the trip into something more interesting than a straight highway slog. It’s also why the service mentions a stop to shop for leather goods and shoes if you’d like to. Even if shopping isn’t your thing, it’s nice to know the day has an option to break up the drive.

This is also the kind of ride that helps you feel ready for Gramado right away. Instead of figuring out directions, parking, or public transport timing, you can focus on settling in. The vibe is practical: arrive, get dropped, and you’re done.

Meet at DESEMBARQUE: pickup that saves time at the airport and your lodging

Pickup is one of the biggest quality-of-life details in any transfer, and here it’s clearly set up for smooth arrivals.

At Porto Alegre–Salgado Filho International Airport, the airport reception happens at DESEMBARQUE (arrival area). You’ll see a sign on behalf of the customer or the agency, which reduces the awkward “Are you with us?” guessing game. The start point is listed at Av. Severo Dullius, 90.010 – Anchieta, Porto Alegre – RS, 90200-310, Brazil.

If you’re staying in a hotel, pousada, or residence in the area, the meeting shifts to your accommodation. The service notes a radius of 5 km from the city center, and your team will present themselves there and request your passenger name.

End-wise, the trip finishes in Gramado, RS. The final drop-off is described as being completed at the pousada/hotel/residence you advise when booking. That’s useful because you’re not forced into a faraway central meeting spot and a second walk or short taxi ride.

Tip: when you book, send your accommodation details exactly as the address list would expect. That small step makes it easier for the team to match you quickly after arrival.

Comfort and safety: the drivers who make the drive feel easy

The strongest praise in the feedback centers on care and organization. People talk about first contact with the owner Pamela at Infinity Turismo, with clients describing her communication as attentive, professional, and organized.

Then the ride itself gets steady compliments. Multiple drivers are named, including Jean, Paul, Rodrigo, and Cristiano Apio. Across these notes, the recurring themes are politeness, punctuality, and a focus on safe driving. One person even describes the service as first-world quality, which lines up with what you’d want from a private transfer: clear handoffs, no uncertainty, and a driver who treats your time like it matters.

For you, that translates into less mental load. You’re not juggling phone calls while dragging luggage through arrivals. You’re not wondering if the driver will be late. And because the vehicle is air-conditioned and sized for your group (up to four), the trip feels calmer than typical shared shuttles.

Another point worth noting: this service is private, so only your group participates. That means you don’t get stuck waiting on strangers or dealing with surprise route detours.

Leather shopping along the route: how to use the stop without losing your day

This transfer isn’t only about transport. It explicitly includes an optional stop to shop for leather goods and shoes. If you’ve ever wandered through a leather store in the Serra Gaúcha region, you already know why this is a popular idea.

The practical part: you’re riding a route that’s associated with leather, so the shopping stop makes sense. You’re not being pulled off into random tourist stops. If you like to browse, you can turn a long-ish drive into a productive first hour in the area.

If you don’t want shopping, you can simply treat it as a convenient stretch break. That’s often the real win of an optional stop: you get time to reset without committing to purchases.

What to consider:

• You’ll likely have limited time for shopping, since the full transfer is around 2–3 hours.
• If you plan to buy leather items, ask how long the stop is before you commit. Quick check-in helps you compare sizes and prices without rushing.

A good strategy is to decide before pickup. If leather shopping is a goal, come with a rough target (what item, what budget, and what size). If it’s not a goal, treat it as a restroom and coffee moment and keep moving.

Timing and distance: fitting 2–3 hours into your Gramado arrival plan

The duration is listed as approximately 2 to 3 hours, and the distance is about 120 km. That range matters, because airport arrival times and traffic patterns can stretch or tighten the schedule.

Here’s how to use that reality to your advantage:

• If you’re planning a first-night dinner reservation, set it with a buffer. Aim for a time that leaves room for luggage pickup and a smooth arrival to Gramado.
• If you’re going straight from the airport to something else (like a show, restaurant, or early tour), keep expectations realistic. This transfer is meant to get you to your lodging area with comfort, not to cram in extra activities.

One more timing detail: the service is designed around your arrival and lodging drop-off. That makes it easiest when you can give the team a clear destination (your pousada/hotel/residence name) at booking.

If your flight lands late or your schedule is tight, the private format helps. You’re not waiting for a shared vehicle to fill up or juggling multiple transfers.

Price and value: what $119.38 buys for up to 4

The price is listed as $119.38 per group (up to 4), which is a very different model than per-person transfers. For families, couples traveling together, or small friend groups, this can be a solid value.

How to think about it:

• If you’re traveling with just one other person, you might compare this to taxis or rideshares plus airport waiting time and uncertainty.
• If you’re two, three, or four people, the math often becomes easier because you’re paying for the vehicle rather than stacking separate fares.
• You also get clear service structure: private transport, air-conditioning, and support like the highchair / baby comfort / lifting seat.

The big value is not only the cost. It’s predictability. A transfer that shows up on time and gets you to your destination without confusion is worth something, especially after a flight. Multiple clients explicitly mention punctuality and comfort, and that’s exactly what you’re paying for.

What’s not included is also important. Tickets, food, and beverages aren’t part of the package when they’re charged. If you’re planning to buy something during the leather stop, you’re on your own for those purchases, which is normal for this type of transfer.

What’s included (and what you’ll need to cover yourself)

Here’s what the package includes:

• Air-conditioned vehicle
• Private transportation
• Highchair / Baby Comfort / Lifting Seat

That last bullet is especially useful if you’re traveling with a child and want a smoother start to your vacation. Some airport transfers ignore family needs; this one explicitly supports them.

What’s not included:

• Tickets
• Food and beverages where those are charged and not described in the package

So you should budget for any meals you want after arrival, and you should plan to pay for purchases during any shopping stop. If you want to add special arrangements (extra stops, added activities), the listing data doesn’t describe that as standard—so treat it as something to confirm ahead of time with the provider.

In my view, the included items are enough to make this transfer feel complete: private ride, comfort, and the basics that make a family trip easier.

Who this private transfer is best for

This is a great match if you want:

• A straightforward airport-to-Gramado (and/or Canela area) start without stress
• A small group arrangement for up to four
• Comfort with air-conditioning and a private vehicle
• Family support via a highchair/baby comfort/lifting seat

It’s also a smart option when you’d rather not negotiate with multiple transit steps after landing. If you’re landing with kids, lots of bags, or you simply want your vacation to start quietly, the private format does that well.

If you’re traveling solo, it can still work, but you may feel the price more since it’s per group. If you’re traveling with friends or family, it typically feels more balanced because you’re splitting the vehicle cost.

Should you book this Private Transport – LAWN | CINNAMON?

I’d book it if you value a calm start: clear pickup at DESEMBARQUE, a predictable 2–3 hour drive, and a private ride in an air-conditioned vehicle. The named staff and repeated praise for punctuality and safe, friendly driving are exactly what you want when you’re arriving in an unfamiliar city.

I would hesitate only if you’re hoping this transfer will function like a full sightseeing tour. It’s designed for transportation, with an optional leather shopping stop. If your plan includes many additional stops, confirm those details before you go.

One more practical note: the service lists free cancellation, with full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. That’s useful if flight times are still uncertain.

If your goal is simply to get from Porto Alegre to Gramado comfortably, on time, and with less hassle, this private transfer looks like a very solid choice.
