We had an amazing truffle hunting experience with Giulio and his dog. We started with hands-on truffle hunting in the nearby forest and continued with interesting presentation on truffles and finalised the experience with a light lunch prepared by Giulio himself. "Truffles on my eggs" is my new favorite! Giulio is very passionate and skilled on truffles and you can really feel it. Highly recommended for any food-enthusiastics around the globe.
What an amazing experience. This far exceeded my expectations. I was with my wife and three kids over the Thanksgiving holiday. We arranged for a truffle hunt with Giulio.
He invited us into his house, which is in a suburb of Florence and provided us an entertaining and informative lesson about his background, the ecology of truffles, and what to expect in a truffle hunt. He didn't dumb down the lesson for my kids, but they were entertained and interested as well.
We then drove to a nearby hillside and searched for black truffles. We found 7 during the walk, but Giulio's dog ate two of them. (Payment for having a nose for truffles, I guess).
Afterwards, we enjoyed a light meal, a glass of wine, and great conversation.
Highly recommended!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. This is a CANNOT miss. It is amazing to feel the passion Giulo expresses for truffles. From the truffle conversation to the walk to the food, this was an extremely special day. Giulio sat us in his home for hours and we just chatted - I have never been on a tour/experience that felt so genuine. We will remember this day forever.
This was one of the best experiences of our honeymoon. Giulio invites you into his BEAUTIFUL home and tells you everything you need to know about truffles. He then took us out on the hunt with his two VERY sweet dogs. It was an exciting and easy hike - the views looking down onto Florence were spectacular. After finding truffles, we returned to Giulio's home where he cooked a delicious meal. We enjoyed wine, and great conversation - Giulio is a riot! I would recommend this to anyone who likes truffles and a one of a kind experience.
We had the most unique experience going truffle hunting with Giulio. The booking process was super simple and Giulio replied promptly to any queries we had. This truly is a not-to-miss experience! We had a lesson on truffles before going truffle hunting and then enjoyed a delicious, truffle filled meal afterwards. Thanks again Giulio for the awesome experience!
