    My husband and I attending this tour late June 2025. Though individual pieces of the tour were great, including the staff, I was left sour by the overall experience. We were initially told meeting point (pickup and drop off) was in Piazza grande within Montepulciano (a 5 min ride from our accommodations). Last minute they changed the initial meeting point to the farmhouse itself which was over 45 minutes away. This meant we had to shell out an additional 60-90 euros to make it to our already overpriced event and then another 90 euros to get to our next destination point. It threw off the entire day and cost us much more than we anticipated. Moreover, though the dogs were able to find 4- 5 or so truffles for us, the hunt was in total maybe 30 minutes and seemed potentially staged. The rest of the time was spent relaxing by the pool and eating lunch, for which fortunately we had our all of our luggage and thus swimsuits but other guests did not and missed out on this experience because they were not notified of this potential in advance. The lunch consisted of a pasta, a steak, and cookies which was certainly not worth $240 per person. If I was being generous I would day that this maybe worth $200 or $240 total not per person and reasonably can be completed within 2 hours as opposed to 3/3.5. I ultimately would not recommend this tour to future travelers.

    A fun morning with Paolo and his two pals (dogs) who discovered black truffles throughout the property. Dogs were playful and cute and Paolo was a great guide. Be sure to bring boots! The hunt was followed by a delicious filled with truffles

    We had a fantastic time on our truffle hunt experience! We loved the walk through the farm, learning all about their organic farming processes and especially about their fabulous olive oil! Then we met the amazing truffle hunting pups (Luna & Zara, accompanied by master truffle hunter Marcello, truly the best!) who led us through a hike in the woods during which we found several truffles! Finally we ended with a delicious truffle-based lunch complete with organic wine and an unbeatable view. Highly recommend!

    Amazing time walking through the woods with our professional truffle hunter and his 2 dogs. Found loads of truffles and then had a truffle forward lunch with wine pairings!. Everyone was extremely nice, dogs were a hit, and we had to use Google translator quite a bit. Very authentic and fun time. I would highly recommend this experience.

    Paolo, Supa, and Lela were absolutely wonderful! We spent almost 2 hours in the fields hunting truffles - learned a great deal, experienced finding truffles, and had fun exploring. Terrific experience! Matteo hosted a delicious luncheon with great wine. We’d highly recommend this experience - once in a lifetime!!!!

    The guide was excellent despite his limited English, he made all attempts to communicate with us effectively. He was engaging and made the experience memorable. The only downside was all of the troubles that we found we were not given any to take with us. Nor were they used for our lunch ?

  • Highly recommend Truffle Hunting in Tuscany!

    It was an amazing experience. The drive to the farm was incredible, and meeting Lucca and Ronnie, the black retriever, was the best. While there was no guarantee that we would find truffles, we ended up finding five good-sized truffles. The lunch of truffle ravioli and truffle filet was out of this world. You can't beat the views! I highly recommend it.

    The Truffle Hunt was excellent. Our guide was great and so was the truffle hunter Matteo and his dog Tido. We learned a lot about the process and found many truffles! The location was really scenic and the lunch that included truffle ravioli, a filet with truffle sauce, a great aged chianti from the winery on the farm, and excellent local biscotti like cookies with vin santo for dessert. This was our 13 year old daughter's favorite activity after 12 days of seeing sites in Rome, Venice, Florence and other towns. Would highly recommend this for anyone who likes truffles and and is interested in where they come from.

    We had a really lovely trifle hunting experience with Sylvia, Matteo, Samuel, and Tito. We were able to touch and smell about 5-6 black truffles after an hour long hunt in the woods. We had an enormous Tuscan lunch afterwards featuring truffles in a beautiful setting. Strongly recommend.

  • Amazing experience!

    We had an amazing time at the truffle hunt. The team explained every stage of the tour very well. The walk through the private truffle reserve was interesting, we learned a lot about truffles generally and how they are found. It was a treat to watch how the truffle hunter and his dog carry out their respective tasks in order to find this amazing natural treasure. Highly recommend!
