Como Brunate Torno. The Breathtaking Scenery

After a beautiful ferry ride our adventure began in the sleepy village of Toronto (just up the lake from Como). Our guide, Ale was fantastic.... not only a experienced hiking guide but also so knowledgeable as to the history of Toronto and the area. And so we hiked, up and up and up and up above Toronto. The lush forest and views ..... incredible. Our path was a centuries old donkey trail that was the main inland link between the villages along the shore. The seemingly "never ending" climb paid off with a lunch at a great restaurant! All of the food fresh and local........ the best. What a great experience. Thanks Ale

This hike is beautiful as well as rigorous (use your hiking sticks!). We hiked among the deciduous trees and wildflowers with our outstanding guide, Favia. She knows the routes very well and shared with us the history, lifestyle, and environment of Como along the way. Our special treat was eating at Piazzaga restaurant overlooking Torno with our hosts, Daniella and Rafeal. The luncheon was homemade and delicious. We traveled home by boat - a perfect day!

a great hike very scenic high above the lake great guide highlight of our trip Bring water with you You should not do this hike by yourself

Our guide Fabia was wonderful. The hike was beautiful with lovely babbling brooks and scenic views of the lake and Como. Stopped for lunch along the way and the hostess was charming . Highly recommend this tour.

Our guide for the day was Michale and he was amazing! The trail was stunning and not too difficult although you need to be careful in a few places. Beginning hikers would be more than comfortable on this, just be sure to wear sturdy tennis shoes at a minimum.

Personally, I love hiking in the forest & mountains. The scenery is beautiful & serene. The trail is pretty well marked, but I would not have wanted to do it the first time without a guide. Plus, we wouldn’t have found the amazing crotto for lunch on our own! Highly recommend, but not for people with any kind of mobility issues as the hike was over 10km & at times challenging to maneuver over the rocks and waterfalls due to recent rainfall.

We loved our guide Daniele from the start - knowledgable with a great sense of humor. Up the funicular to Brunate, then a moderately challenging hike (a little off camber and some storm washout) along the old roman paths, stopping for an amazing lunch in Piazzaga. We descended from lunch to the charming village of Torno where we picked up a boat back to Como.

This day was definitely the best one we spent in the area. We wanted to feel the nature, be out of the crowds and visit some true local places. Too many desires? Oh no, we got everything and even more: a tasty lunch (I will never forget that goat cheese!) and a passionate guide like Fabia who is never tired of answering questions. 100% recommended!!

The tour is perfect for small groups like families or friends to enjoy a wonderful day together. You will see amazing views, have excellent food for lunch, enjoy different means of transportation. Our guide Michele told us a lot of stories about the beautiful hamlets and the nature on our way... a key factor to cheer us up! Thanks Michele and thanks Daniela for the great food!!

A beautiful experience far beyond our expectations. The perfect mix of good chat, wonderful views, interesting stories and delicious local food. Is there anything else you can ask for? Yes, a nice ride on a funicular and a charming boat trip! Definitely a perfect day.

The tour was simply unique. We walked through an ancient trail to see the beautiful hamlets and villages on the lake. The lunch at the crotto was amazing, with good food and good company! You won't regret taking part in this hike.

A beautiful day on the hills over Lake Como. Nice hike, great company and delicious food at lunch. The trip on the boat at the end of the day was the icing on the cake... another great chance to watch a wonderful landscape from a different point of view!

Great experience with good guide michele. Enjoyed the roundtrip funicolare, walk roman way, excellent lunch in crotto and from torno with boat back. Experience lake como from different perspective with local insights. Great day, we were family group of 7

Mikael was simply the most wonderful, kind, patient and attentive guide. He took us on a lengthy trail walk along ancient trails and Roman built roads for a total of 5.5 hours through the woods in the hills above Lake Como. Along the way he knowledgeably pointed out points of interest and historical sights. We stopped for lunch in a charming, family run restaurant where we had a delicious home cooked meal. Before you embark on this tour, keep in mind that you need to have stamina to complete this trek. However, if you are up for it, it is well worth it.

his tour is unmissable! The hike in the woods is beautiful, with unexpected views over the lake and, most of all, with the company of a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed the delicious lunch in a picturesque hamlet. And it was great, at the end of the day, to take the boat to come back and chill out a little watching the landscape. I don't think we would have found something better elsewhere.

This was bot a senior friendly hike and was never fully disclosed with a difficulty rating for a novice hiker. It had very dangerous and unsteady areas where you need to walk! The guides were fantastic and one stayed back with me the entire time. Unfortunately my husband lost his footing and rolled down an incline banging his hip and getting scratched and bruised! The local tour operator was not at fault . It was lack of proper wording and warnings in the Viator written description of ibis tour that is to blame! Shame on you. Viator! It is necessary to discriminate in this instance and mention that this is not for every senior citizen! I have used your service for 15 years and this is the first tour that we have had an issue with! You need to put a huge disclaimer, explanation, details about this hike people to recognize its NOT for everyone!

I had a fantastic day hiking with Daniele. Great conversations and interesting explanations historical and cultutal. We did the funicular ride to Brunate, hiking with a fantastic view and the boat trip from Torno to Como. The trip includes beautiful nature, perfect view and Highlight a typical italian picknick for lunch. Highly recommend, hope i get the chance to return ☺️

My daughters and I had a really nice hike with Daniele. We took the funicular up then hiked across the top of the hill from Brunate to Montepiatto, and came back on the ferry. He had a tasty lunch for us, and some snacks to keep us energized. He was full of interesting information and brimming with god humour. We were very fortunate to have a beautiful day for a walk in early December. The steps down from Montepiatto to the ferry dock were a bit of a challenge for my old-ish knees, but I survived undamaged and richer for the experience. Daniele is also a food enthusiast and recommended some local restaurants and specialities to try. It was a fun and memorable day

The person in charge of boarding the ship an unpresentable ill-mannered clarified blonde impervious and endangering passengers should be unemployed. Horrible schedules nefarious infirmation and hatred of tourists and not only dirty water and heat on boats.
