The most unique and unforgettable experience - This was the most amazing experience that we have ever encountered! Everything was just perfect from the start! We got picked by a private driver and got taken to a private estate where we met up with our experienced truffle guide and his dog. Despite the fact that it was raining, we ended up having so much fun! We were even given rain boots to accommodate us for the weather. The dog was a rockstar! He was so happy searching for the truffles. This is such an undescribable feeling when you finally find the truffle! Unbelievable! And then, our adventure continued, as we participated in a cooking class with a professional Chef. That was so much fun! We learned how to make traditional pasta and an authentic Tiramisu. The best part was having that amazing five course meal by the fireplace and enjoying delicious wine from the local winery. We did not want the day to end! I would definitely recommend this adventure for everyone who is looking for something very unique and authentic. It was worth every dollar! They say that money can't buy happiness, but in this case, it really can!

Unforgettable family memories - Truly an unforgettable experience with our daughters. They feel in love with Ronni our Truffle dog. We found four black truffles in about 45 minutes. Lunch after was amazing with the private chef. Our family would highly recommend this for most anyone.

A great truffle hunt! - Did this tour in January. Was suprised to see there was a Truffle Hunting tour in Rome as most truffle tours were for Northern Italy. Niccolo and Giovanni picked me up at a metro station and drove about 20km out of the city center to the private estate. It was a bit of a rainy day. I was the only one on the tour and Niccolo and Giovanni explained the process to me and what I can expect. After some time of walking through some trees and brush, the dogs "sniffed" out two large truffles. After the "hunt", we went back to the estate to warm up. The tour description included a cooking demonstraton. But to my surprised, I got the privilege to make pasta with chef Jacapo. The dishes he prepared using the truffles that we found, from starter, entree and dessert was very delcious. It was great meal with lots of wine topped this tour and comraderie with some wonderful hosts, including the general manager of the estate. In summary, I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a foodie experience and some outdoor time. Also, again many thanks to Niccolo, Giovanni and Jacapo...Ciao!
