A lovely day in Como/Brunate

Published on Jun, 2024

We effectively had a private tour as it was only me and my wife in the tour group. Our guide, Emmanuele, was excellent. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We spent about an hour in Como city centre (including walking around Villa Olmo's gardens) and then went up to Brunate via the funicular. Emmanuele brought us around Brunate and knew where the best spots to take photos were located (some of them not usually known by tourists). The 3-hour tour flew by and we ended the tour with lunch in Brunate at a restaurant recommended by Emmanuele. A highly recommended tour, which is good value for money.

The walking tour with Leonardo was exceptional! He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. We especially like the walk to the funicular and the amazing views.

Nice view of the lake

Published on Aug, 2022

The heat was brutal and the line was long. It’s peak season for tourists, but that doesn’t deter people from going. There are no fans or ac in the car, but the top view is lovely. You can pay for a roundtrip ticket. Kids enjoyed the ride and at the top we were able to enjoy the shaded trees and small shops. It was peaceful
