Phillip was an outstanding host. He was informative, enthusiastic, and very accommodating to our needs. The drive to the forest was spectacular, and was made all the more special by both the perfect weather and thoughtful amount of photograph stops made by Phillip (neither too many nor too few). The truffle hunt itself was fantastic, and again neither too long nor too short. Roberto, our hunter, and his two beautiful dogs were such charming company; it was an absolute joy to watch this team at work while also being educated on this very unique culinary area. We were then driven back through a couple of very pretty Tuscan villages, before arriving at the winery. It was fascinating to learn about the process behind the Chianti, and the views were stunning. However, my one regret concerns the meal. Every mouthful was utterly delicious, but I feel that the advertised three-course meal was not delivered. Considering the cost of the package, this was disappointing, especially as the rest of the tour had been delivered with such an intimate and personal touch. To be truly worth the price, it would seem to me that a more plentiful antipasto board is required, and a much bigger bowl of (delicious) pasta. Finally, a proper desert is necessary to merit the description of a 'three course meal'. We know from experience that biscuits and grappa do not constitute a proper dessert, but rather a digestif after a third course. If these considerations were to be taken into account and acted upon, then there is no doubt this truffle hunting experience would reflect the score of 5 stars it is so close to attaining.

We had a successful truffle hunt with Marco, Sirio and the best dog, Bilba! We enjoyed the hike through the woods and discovering our buried treasures everywhere. The lunch at the nearby vineyard was beautifully prepared with our own new-found truffles!. The ride from the hotel to the hunt was in a Mercedes Benz minivan so it was very comfortable then the ride changed to a rugged but reliable Range Rover jeep in the woods.... Thank you for making this an awesome side trip!
