He is extremely knowledgeable of the regions and we learned so much! We would definitely do this trip again if we were ever back in Tuscany and I hope we will be someday!”

This is experience is definitely worth doing.”

Hunt truffles with a Lagotto dog, make tagliatelle, and enjoy a Tuscan lunch with wine and olive oil near Greve.
“The activity was amazing from the beginning to end. It was the start of the black truffle season and thanks to Gianmarco and his dog Tabou (sorry if there are mistakes in the names), we found several black truffles. Our host Fabrizzio then showed us how to make fresh pastas which we later ate with the truffles we found, all this with a spectacular view. An immense thank you to Fabrizzio, his wife Carmela and son Niccolo for a day that our group will remember for a long time. The best day of our 17 day trip in Tuscany. Strongly recommend. Oh yes, Fabrizzio's wine is pretty delicious too!Read more”
Hunt truffles with a trained dog near Florence, then enjoy a three-course Tuscan tasting with return transfer included.
“This was a bucket list activity to do with my family! The Viator tour was contracted through Mugello &Tuscany, a small tour operator in Tuscany. It was well coordinated and an experience none of us will forget. We went for a hike (appropriate for older kids) with the chef Cristian and an experienced guide with his trained dog. It was so fun watching the dog's nose in action. We found about 10 truffles and used them in a gourmet pasta cooking class after. The villa is gorgeous--great for photos to remember the experience. Couldn't have been better!”

Thank you for the exceptional attention to detail and delightful guides.”
