Mirco & Fabio & their dogs were great! Fantastic way to learn about how truffles grow and are found, in the stunning forests and countryside. Everyone who wanted to got to try hunting; it was fast-paced and you had to watch the dogs every second! Once in a lifetime experience that we all loved (and our group ranged from 6 to 80)!

What a wonderful experience!! We went truffle hunting in Tuscany with Luca and Mirco and their three dogs Stella, Zara, and Zoro. Several people told us that there weren't many truffles this year because of lack of rain. The truffle hunt was kind of a leisurely walk in the Tuscan woods, with Mirco explaining in detail all about truffles and the art of finding them. It was leisurely, that is, until the dogs got the scent, and then "leisurely" turned into "excitement." We actually did find some truffles, but the thing that impressed me most was seeing the affection between the owners and the dogs. The dogs were doing what they were taught to do and enjoying every minute of it.. This was fun and exciting for them. They got praised and rewarded with treats. This was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. I would do it again myself.
