    About this experience

    Prepare yourself for an authentic and extraordinary journey through Italian culture & cuisine! Immerse yourself in the life of Como and learn about the history, culture and food of this enchanting town at the Western side of the lake. Join our small group of food lovers and follow your foodie guide to bakeries, wine shops, cafés and restaurants, and taste local fare along with wines from distinctive cellars. You will visit a local market and receive personalised attention while mixing with the community to learn and practise some basic Italian conversation to make new friends in Italy. Continue your journey to some hidden quarters which you may otherwise have missed and be treated to typical “spuntini salati” all washed down with glasses of Italian wine. After all this walking, we'll have one final stop: a well-deserved relaxing lunch at a stunning XIX century villa in Brunate with magnificent views over the lake and mountains. We will take the funicular for a memorable experience.

    If You Live Food - Must Do

    We enjoyed a delightful day strolling in the city square - sampling many food options and learning history about the area. The funicular ride was something you must do and lunch at the top of the mountain was incredible. Highly recommend.

    Como and Brunate Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.

    How much does Como and Brunate Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $195 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Como and Brunate Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.

    Is Como and Brunate Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Como and Brunate Food Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Como and Brunate Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Como and Brunate Food Tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Como and Brunate Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lake Como?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lake Como?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lake Como?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
