A lovely day in Como/Brunate

MOHAN_S, 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.
