Barto the truffle hunting dog was awesome. We hiked through a forest, crossed creeks, over rocks and up and down hills. This was not a tour for people having a problem walking and hiking up and down hills We had fun and the town of Assisi is a definite plus.

Finding Truffles in the Umbrian Woods

Lorraine_C, Oct 2023

Barto, the Lagotto, and I immediately bonded, perhaps because my son has a Lagotto from Arezzo. We found truffles in about 6 locations. I enjoyed gettingbthe chance to carefully dig them out. Truffle hunting with a Lagotto is something I always wanted to do, so i will ever forget our adventure. Jena taught me something about truffles too.

We chased Barto the truffle hunting dog up and down hills and found many truffles.

Delightful

Annie_B, Aug 2023

What a delightful time spent in the woods learning the art and science of truffle hunting! A fascinating world. And Barto can't be beat!

Perfect truffle hunting experience for the family

Waldemar_B, Jul 2023

The perfect experience. We loved it. The guide, trained truffle hunter and Barto the hunting dog were awesome. A great team. We learnt so much about truffles. Our kids had a great time, too.

Great tour with pickup location in the heart of Assis

Edward_R, May 2023

Great communication. Even let us change the tour time at the last minute. Friendly tour guide. Both him and Barto ( the dog) knew what they were doing.

Fun searching for truffles in the woods.

Meg_M, Apr 2023

This event has been on my “to do list” for a long time. It was fun to meet Barto the dog and enjoyed walking in the woods. (I have bad knees so I’m glad I brought my walking stick). The tour guide took pictures of me with the dog and the truffles we found. A great experience.

Really great time walking through the woods surrounding Assisi looking for truffles with Barto the truffle hunting dog

Great tour w/ great guide and dog

SEYANG_N, Dec 2022

The tour was awesome and the guides were very professional!! They started this tour not so long ago so there aren’t many reviews yet but surely very professional and kind. If you are in Assisi make sure you go for truffle hunt with this agent ^^

Great truffle hint wit “berto” the dog!!

tgriga03, Dec 2022

2 great guides for the price of one! Can speak highly of both- very nice- great sense of humor- berto our hunting dog was awesome and super at finding 3-4 different truffles- must have found 15-18 in less than 2 hours- saw some spectacular sites while hunting- the truffle expert was gracious and even took us up to the top of the Mountain outside of assissi! Most fun we had in assissi as a whole family- kids really loved it too

Great hunting with a Lagotto dog and his companions

Carolynn_C, Nov 2022

The experience of "hunting" truffles with the dog was amazing. Having had truffles as part of my food experience for years and years and hearing stories of the difficultness of finding a truffle, it was amazing to see the dog capture the spot where the truffle is hiding in the forest, then the trained hunter take the truffle from the spot where it was found is very fun and worth the time.

Wonderful time hunting truffles

Nicole_T, Jun 2022

What a wonderful experience. Our guide took us out to the Umbrian woods and along with their dog helped us find many many truffles. We felt like we got a close look behind the curtain of this mysterious community of truffle hunters. Can’t recommend this experience enough!!!

Wonderful family-friendly and informative jaunt in the woods with dogs & truffles!

Rachel_R, Oct 2021

We loved our truffle hunt! The dogs were so cute and friendly and our toddler loved watching them. Even though it was off-season, we found several kinds of truffles and of course stumbled across Roman aqueducts in the forest. The views from the second location we visited were phenomenal - at the top of a hill overlooking farms. Highly recommend! The guide also knew the plants and scat we came across inside and out and gave our toddler a children's book at the end about the biodiversity of the region. The guide also emphasized the conservation aspect of their truffle-hunting.

Charmante expérience, nos...

Slobodan_D, Feb 2024

Charmante expérience, nos guides nous ont donné beaucoup d’informations sur la « chasse aux truffes ». Agréable randonnée en forêt avec leur chien Barco (j’espère que je ne massacre pas son nom) qui est impressionnant à voir aller! Malgré la température qui n’était pas favorable (trop sec) nous avons quand même réussi à trouver quelques truffes. Je recommande chaudement

Vale a experiência adorável

SISI_M, Nov 2023

Experiência única, vale a pena. O cachorro Bartho é muito fofo e o guia muito gentil. Deve ter atenção se tiver mobilidade reduzida. Recomendo.

Es hat Spaß gemacht

Romy, Jun 2022
