We had a memorable day with our guide Matteo. The drive out to the villa was lovely and he was very informative with facts and history of Florence and Tuscany. We really felt it was a different and authentic experience truffle hunting with Francesca and Chocco the dog. We found 2 rare white winter truffles and our hunt was followed by a delicious Tuscan lunch (with lots of truffle and wine). We learned about life at the villa and were able to sample some their fresh products. We then visited a winery and had a beautiful drive home through the rolling hills.

We absolutely loved this tour. Truffle hunting with Francesca and Choco was once in a lifetime. Our truffle lunch was fantastic and we loved the winery so much that we shipped a case of wine home. Our guide throughout the day was very informative and made every piece fun.

From the moment Hilary met us in the morning until she dropped us off later in the day, she was a wealth of local knowledge and great company. Between taking us to find the truffles, to the family serving us after the truffle hunt, couldn’t have been any better. Our guides knowledge at the winery of all the wines being served was unbelievable! Great tour from start to finish!

We had a wonderful day with our guide Andrea. He was friendly, informative and did everything to make sure we were happy and enjoying our experience. Our truffle hunter was Francesca and she and her family made us feel welcome and cared for in their home with the most delicious lunch after the hunt! Highly recommend this experience.

Learning about what wines go with what and how to taste them properly. The dog was pretty cute too. Also, fresh truffles have an unreal smell.

Hilary was absolutely amazing! She took our entire experience to the next level and we feel so lucky to have met her. She immediately made us feel like family, and she was so knowledgeable and funny! We have recommended the trip to everyone we know, and we plan to come back and do the tour again. Such a unique and entertaining experience, and we are so thankful we got so lucky with this tour! If you are even considering it, book it. You will not regret it - the experience of a lifetime!!

My wife and I had the most incredible experience on the truffle hunting and wine tour day in Tuscany! From start to finish, it was a five-star adventure. First, the truffle hunting was a true highlight. Our guide, Andrea, and the truffle hunter, Francesca, were so knowledgeable and passionate about truffles and wine. Watching the skilled truffle dog, Choco, in action was a delight, and when we found those elusive treasures buried in the earth, it felt like striking gold. Francesca's insights into the world of truffle hunting added depth to the experience. After the hunt, we were treated to a gourmet truffle-infused lunch that was nothing short of exquisite. The flavors were out of this world, and the setting was simply enchanting. The wine tour that followed was equally impressive. We visited charming, family-owned wineries where we sampled some of the finest Tuscan wines. Andrea served as our tasting guide and was fantastic at explaining the nuances of each wine we tasted. I can't recommend this truffle hunting and wine tour enough. It was a perfect blend of culinary delight, cultural immersion, and natural beauty. If you want to experience the best of Tuscany, this tour is an absolute must. Five stars without a doubt!

This was the perfect trip. The morning was spent truffle hunting, followed by a superb lunch and then visit to a winery. Loved it. Best of all was our guide, Hillary. She was incredibly knowledgeable about wine, truffles, the region, the history and the culture. Being that, she was delightful company. Best day of our trip.
