The 15 Best Como City Tours & Brunate Funicular Rides

20 reviewed

Como is where most trips begin: a walled old town, a silk history, and a funicular that lifts you to a whole-lake view in seven minutes. These are the best Como city tours and Brunate rides, from guided old-town walks to food strolls, with what each covers and what it costs.

Lake Como: Food Walking Tour - Wine Tasting Stop: What to Expect and How to Handle It

1.Food Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 150 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $93Our pick

Sample Como specialties on a 3.5-hour guided walk with wine, pizza, polenta, gelato, and espresso near Piazza Duomo.

“Janis is warm & informative!! It’s obvious she loves what she does!! The first stop was a wine stop, unfortunately you only get to pick one beverage. It would be great if they provided small samples of each. The pizza place was good. The lunch place provided an array of food, it was nice to try a sample of each. The gelato was yummy as was our coffee stop. All in all Janis did an excellent job showing the group local hot spots. I recommend this tour, especially if you only have a few days in Como. Thank you Janis for your passion, your enthusiasm was very much appreciated! 🙏🏽”

A small-group 2-hour English walk through Como’s highlights: Gothic Duomo, theatre, rationalist sites, and Roman walls, plus local tips.

“Violeta is a great guide. She has a true love for Como in particular and Italy in general. We felt like we were walking around this beautiful town with a friend who was showing us around rather than on a tour. She has a wealth of information, she wasn't looking at her watch and we went a bit over the two hours just because she wanted to make sure we say a lot. She even pointed out where we could buy some silk goods and get some high quality gelato. I recommend any tour she runs.”
