Fantastic experience with Francesca and Choco! My family and I loved every part of it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour at her beautiful estate in the country. I’d do it again!

The entire tour was purely amazing. It was by far our best day in Italy because of Matteo (our guide) and Francesca (truffle hunter). Matteo was more than our guide because he was a friend who taught us about the history and culture of Tuscany. Furthermore, he talked about all the background of every wine, its flavor and how to truly appreciate wine and truffles. We felt so comfortable with him because he's so easy to be with. The tour was an experience of a lifetime. From meeting Choco (hunting dog) to the actual hunting, to having lunch, there are no words to describe. Everything was so perfect and intimate. We highly recommend this tour and Truffle Hunter. You won't regret it.

Highlight so far of our trip to Tuscany. We met with our truffle hunting dog Jeo and the master truffle hunter Massimo and walked the woods at one of his favorite spots. It was very relaxing walking in nature, learning about truffles and foraging for food. There were just about to flower wild strawberry, blackberry and asparagus plants. And we were lucky enough ( well Jeo was able to find ) 4 spring white truffles ti use in our lunch after getting back to their house were his sister gave us a cooking lesson on how to incorporate truffles into food. A wonderful day was had by all

The tour was fantastic. We were welcomed into Francesca’s family home and she led us on the truffle hunt experience with Chaco. She did a great job explaining the various types of truffles and then made an amazing lunch with our finds. I would highly recommend.

Honestly, I do not write reviews often. That being said, you can’t visit Tuscany and not do this tour. It was such an incredible experience. Francesca is awesome, friendly, and super welcoming to her family’s estate. We happen to find two black truffles and two white winter truffles. We also found some white asparagus as well. Back at the house, Francesca and her mother made my girlfriend and I some delicious dishes using both the truffles and asparagus. After our meal they both presented my girlfriend with a piece of birthday cake with a candle and sang to her. It could have not gone any better. The food was amazing and fresh, their wine is delicious, and the estate is absolutely beautiful. It was one of the biggest highlights of our trip.
