The truffle tour was a unique way to experience Piedmont, but overpriced for what was delivered. The owners were kind, though it was clear the priority was collecting truffles for their own business. Once the dogs found one, the owners quickly pocketed it with little explanation or chance to see, smell, or learn about it, so it often felt like tagging along rather than participating. The lunch was the highlight, a wonderful traditional Piedmontese meal featuring some of the truffles we'd collected. Frequent smoke breaks throughout the tour also added to the impression that the owners were more focused on themselves than on the guest experience. Interesting overall, but not worth the price.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we were very saddened to read your review. This was an exceptionally hot and challenging season, and unfortunately there were far fewer truffles available than usual. Despite this, we spent the entire day visiting several different areas and making every effort to find enough truffles to share with you at lunch. In fact, every truffle we found that day was kept specifically so that you could enjoy it with your traditional Piedmontese meal. There were no additional truffles that we found and kept for ourselves rather than serving to you. We would also like to clarify that the breaks during the hunt were primarily to give our dogs water and allow them to rest and recover from the heat. Their health and wellbeing are extremely important to us, and we would never compromise that for the sake of finding more truffles. We are particularly sorry that you felt you were merely tagging along. Our intention is always for guests to participate, learn about truffles and enjoy the experience alongside us and our dogs. This is the first time we have received feedback suggesting that our priority was ourselves rather than our guests, so your comments were especially disappointing to us. We are glad, however, that you enjoyed the traditional Piedmontese lunch. We sincerely wish you had left with the same positive feelings about the truffle hunt itself, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
This was such a memorable, beautiful experience for us. We have a Lagotto at home in the US and it was fabulous to see his brethren doing what they are all meant to do, with the loving guidance of some of the most interesting and kind people we have stumbled upon. We also went to a lovely local winery for lunch, which surpassed my expectations and was a wonderful experience as well. What a way to connect with the culture and beauty of Torino. Other people we told we were going truffle hunting led us to believe that our hunting might be a flop because it isn’t the standard season, but it wasn’t at all, and we got to enjoy some of the truffles we helped them and the dogs find (Secil and Felix allowed us to feel part of the hunt and discovery even if we really would have a lot to learn!!). Thank you, Secil and Felix, we wish you every happiness and hope you can continue your fabulous work giving people like us a little chance to enjoy your world.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review. Your words truly touched us, and it was such a pleasure to spend the day with you both. Knowing that you have a Lagotto at home made it especially wonderful to share the experience of watching our dogs do what they love and were born to do. Our dogs are such an important part of our lives and of this experience, so it means a lot to us that you enjoyed seeing their work and the special bond between the dogs and their truffle hunters. We are also so happy that you enjoyed the winery and the traditional lunch, and most of all that you felt part of the hunt and discovery. That is exactly what we hope to give our guests, not simply to watch a truffle hunt, but to share a little piece of our world, our dogs, our food and our love for Piedmont. It was truly a pleasure having you with us. Thank you for your kindness, your curiosity and for appreciating what we do. We wish you both every happiness as well, and perhaps one day we will meet again in the woods, with your Lagotto too!
Felix and Secil were very warm and personable and clearly enjoyed sharing their knowledge about all aspects of truffles and where to find them. It was amazing watching their two dogs work and find numerous truffles and fun to join in the search as well. We enjoyed the truffles as a part of the delicious lunch to finish the day. Wonderful hosts, beautiful nature experience. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure having you with us and sharing our passion for truffles, our dogs and the beautiful Piedmontese countryside. We are so happy that you enjoyed being part of the search and watching the dogs work. For us, the most rewarding part is seeing our guests become curious and excited as they discover how much there is behind every truffle we find. And of course, ending the day with a delicious traditional lunch and enjoying the truffles we found together makes the experience even more special. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending us. We hope to see you again one day for another adventure in the woods!
Loves the experience. Felix, Santino and the 3 wonderful dogs led us to delicious tasting truffles! They shared their wealth of knowledge and warm Italian hospitality with us. Definitely a day that we will always remember!
We are a family of four with two big boys And we have had a fantastic time with Felix and Secil and their 3 lovely dogs. Felix picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the forest. We stopped on the way in a very small Italian town and had a very good cappuccino and pastries. We had a really fun time hunting truffles. The air was fresh and the scenery was beautiful. We learned a lot about truffle. And we really feel the passion from Felix and Secil about truffle hunting and the great life style. They took us to a really authentic Italian restaurant in a small town for lunch and we had the best Italian meal. The taste and quality of the food exceeded any Italian restaurant in States. What's best was that we ate the truffle we just hunted in the morning. Throughout the tour, we had great conversations with our hosts and learned a lot about Italian culture and local way of life. This is the best tour you can find in the Turin area. We highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and detailed review! It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with your family. We loved having all four of you with us and seeing your enthusiasm throughout the hunt. Sharing the forest, the dogs, the truffles and a little taste of our everyday life in Piedmont with your family was truly special. We are especially happy that you enjoyed the little cappuccino and pastry stop, the beautiful countryside and, of course, the authentic local lunch. Knowing that you enjoyed the food even more than some of your favorite Italian restaurants in the States is a wonderful compliment to the restaurant and to the people who put so much passion into Piedmontese cuisine! And there is something particularly satisfying about finding a truffle in the morning and then sitting down together at lunch to enjoy it. That is exactly the kind of experience we love sharing with our guests. Thank you for your wonderful company, your curiosity and all the great conversations. We hope you and your family take home some beautiful memories of Piedmont and perhaps one day come back to hunt with us and the dogs again!
Amazing experience with Felix, Santino and their amazing dogs! Fully agree with all the positive comments about the hike, watching the dogs and Felix/Santino work, and the lunch at a traditional restaurant afterwards. Even the short Italian breakfast stop was memorable. There are some hills and uneven terrains involved if you want to get very close to the action, but it wasn't too bad, at least when the ground was not muddy.
Santino or Felix offer a great experience! Be prepared to do some hiking and possibly get a little dirty. You should not do this tour if you have allergies or need extensive accommodations. Keep in mind this is a cultural experience, it’s worth the price for the experience alone. The views are stunning and you’re in good company. The food is also good ! Do yourself a favor and make every effort to be on time at the specified meeting place to avoid any issues. Also make sure to watch the weather patterns some days before your trip, I wouldn’t recommend doing this in heavy rain. Smoking is permitted during the hike.
Thank you for your feedback. You are right. when there is heavy rain we can not go. Infact if it is rainy we cancel that day.
This was a fantastic and fun experience. The guides took us to a personal property with fantastic views of the alps. It was fun to watch the dogs get on the scent of a truffle and start digging. We found several truffles throughout the scenic countryside and later they were cleaned and shaved on top of food at lunch at the trattoria. The food was fantastic and the owner of the trattoria was very fun and lively. Our guides were great with knowledge about truffles and very personable. Would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much. it was lovely day , we are so happy to know you
Highly recommended. We got lucky and had a very nice weather day (a little warm for truffles but nice for us!) and a really nice group of fellow truffle hunters. And finding some truffles didn’t hurt either! The guides are super nice people. Plan a full day. And don’t make a dinner reservation that day. You’ll be full from lunch!
Thank you very much, I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your day
WOW! This was the coolest thing I have ever done and the operators were beyond informative, authentic, passionate truffle hunters. Santino was the coolest and his dogs were stars…Bosko found MANY HUGE TRUFFLES as we ran behind him seeing the magic happen. These dogs smell the truffles from hundreds of feet away. Felix and Secil’s adorable 3 dogs found many truffles which we all indulged in at lunch at the coolest hidden gem on the gorgeous rolling hills. Heaps of delicious starters including the yummiest polenta all specially order so Santino could proudly shave massive amounts of truffles over every bite…. I had three servings and he kept shaving the fresh truffles we had just hunted down. More dishes followed with more truffles shaved over and over. That amount of truffles in a restaurant in Beverly Hills where I’m traveling from ( or Milan for that matter) would have been $300 or more easy! After lunch I bought the beautiful wooden truffle slicer and brush cleaner with the Truffle Hike logo on it so I can bring back the memories to California….even if I just shave regular mushrooms with it I don’t care, I want to relive this day over and over. I need to go back as soon as possible,
Dear Vicki, I really appreciate your review. It was so so nice to meet you and share beautiful hours together. I really hope to meet you and your sister again. Big big hugs from Italy 🇮🇹
