What people are saying about Brunate

We took the wrong vaporetto and we’re going to miss our tour. I was so surprised the guide called looking for us. We got to reschedule for the next morning. So so kind! Alex, our tour guide, did an outstanding job at making all of his guests feel welcome. He even offered helpful travel suggestions. The tour itself was both informative and easy going. I appreciate there being no pressure to purchase from either of the sites we visited.

I had such a lovely day on this trip! Our guide and driver were lovely and made it a very memorable day. It was so nice to see all that Lake Como/Bellagio had to offer. Would highly recommend, really enjoyed every part of it :)
