Fantastic!

Noaro & Sally showed us a great time! What a unique experience to see the dogs in all their glory finding truffles. The views and countryside were lovely. delicious food and wine by the fire side afterwards followed by a stroll in San Gimingnano…we had a great time! Our guide Daniele shared fantastic videos and photos with us. We highly recommend!

Real Deal Truffle Hunt
Kate_P, Sep 2023
Highlight of our stay in Tuscany . We hunted white summer truffles with Francesco the truffle hunter along with 3 dogs . We went through dense forest so was the real deal ( recommend wearing shoes for walking through forest and long pants ) We then went on to have lunch with Christian our guide and visited historic San Gimignano which was also great . Christian was very knowledgeable on the history and was an excellent guide and driver . Although the lunch was very nice the only drawback was there could have been more truffles on meals ( I am a truffle fiend) but all in all a really great day . Highly recommend

Tuscany adventure
katherine_s, Oct 2022
Absolutely an amazing experience! Truffle hunting with Moreno and the dogs, Julia and the 4 course meal with 7 wine tasting was more than I expected. The whole tour put together by Fun in Tuscany was a Tuscany delight. My special thanks to Gabriel :)
Our favorite tour!

Franchesco's dog found handfuls of truffles and we really enjoyed eating them! It was like being hosted by a friendly Italian with a cupboard full of truffles. Great tour with San Gimignano as a bonus.
