Unique experience worth trying

Pictures speaks a thousand words … shared in this review. The warm & welcoming family: Nico & Fabricio opened their home to us. The hunt with GianMarco & his dog: Tabo were amazing. The hunt was educational about the different types of truffles & the micro climates needed to grow in each environment. Boots were offered as it was raining off & on as well as it being muddy. The food was incredible and the hospitality excellent!

A wonderful excursion in Tuscany

What an absolutely amazing experience! It was so nice to be picked up from our hotel and take a beautiful drive through Tuscany before arriving for the truffle hunt. It’s a very fun search for truffles, which is a light hike around the beautiful property, as you watch the cutest furry truffle hunter you’ve ever seen hunting and finding the truffles. It was so much fun and everyone involved was so wonderful – if you’re able to take this tour, it will probably be you favorite on your trip to Italy.

A Must-Do Truffle Experience

This was one of the best experiences of our trip! Paulo, Francesca, Walter, Levante (the doggy) and the team were incredible hosts….warm, welcoming, and passionate about their family business. You can feel their deep knowledge and love for the land and truffles. The hunt was fascinating, and Levante, was on a mission to find us some white winter truffles, so impressive to watch. The 4-course lunch was delicious, generous, and paired with endless local wine. Highly recommend this experience if you want something authentic, memorable, and full of heart.

Operator response

We’re so happy to hear you had such an amazing experience on the Tuscany Truffle Hunt! Paulo, Francesca, Walter, Levante, and the whole team will be thrilled to hear your kind words.

Truffle hunting experience

It was a wonderful experiencex The truffle dog was so energetic and smart and hunted a lot of big truffles. We then had lunch at the host, Francesca’s home. The house was antique and beautiful. The food was authetic and the wines were from the host private vineyard. The host was very generous, there were a lot of food and wines. Would definitely recommend to my friends.

Operator response

Thank you for your lovely review of the Tuscany Truffle Hunt: a 5-hour Gourmet Culinary Adventure! We’re so glad you enjoyed the experience — from the energetic truffle dog to Francesca’s beautiful home and authentic food and wine. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind Tuscan memory!

HIGHLY recommend, you won't regret it

We loved going truffle hunting with Francesca and her dog Levante! We found two truffles and then had the most delicious (TRULY) four-course lunch in their beautiful family manor. Gorgeous, romantic setting and unforgettable experience.

Amazing culinary experience!

Wow. We absolutely loved this experience! We wanted to do something a little different this time in Florence & Tuscany, and this was the perfect outing. Francesca was so welcoming and interesting, explaining all about truffle hunting to us and keeping Choco, our hunting dog, focused!! Our homemade lunch could not have been more delicious, and was definitely the best meal of the trip! The house was beautiful and made the experience feel very special, and our ride to and from Florence was very comfortable. I could not recommend this activity enough!!

Operator response

Ciao Dean, thank you for this fabulous review! It's great to hear that our Tuscany Truffle Hunt was both a fun and learning experience. We're very glad that you enjoyed both the gourmet lunch and the experience with the dog. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you or your friends back for another fantastic tour in Europe!
