Kelly and I were searching for months for the best truffle hunt we could find (as we are "foodies" and love truffles) during our beautiful stay in Tuscany and we found it. We were staying at the St. Regis Florence. The driver took us to the La Limonaia that was only about a 30 minute drive from Florence. We meet... More

As the reviews acknowledge, you have not experienced Italy unless you spend a day with Giulio the Truffle Hunter! He will show you the truffle hunting craft firsthand, including a 1-2 hour truffle education (depending on how many questions you ask and much you want to learn), a hunt in nearby woods with his dog named Eda, and amazing food...

If you are ever near Florence, you MUST meet Giulio The Truffle Hunter. The best meal we had in Florence was actually with Giulio the Truffle Hunter.  We stayed at The Four Seasons, where Giulio is recommended, but we actually found The Truffle Hunter on Trip Advisor and arranged for the experience on our own.  Best find EVER! You MUST... More

Hello, Giulio. My name is Stephen Uhlander and I was part of the group that you had on 13th January, the Bølstad family, booked by Bente Bølstad. I'm the father of Edson and Elfie, who both loved the day learning about and hunting for truffles, as we all did. Thanks for a brilliant day with really deep knowledge, great fun... More

Truffle hunting in Tusany is certainly less arduous then taking to the hills by bike and The Truffle Hunter with his dog can show you how he hunts the truffles down followed by a wonderful lunch freshly cooked by his partner in their charming Tuscan villa. Tasting his own olive oil and truffle products is a real bonus and also... More

My wife and I were both excited about participating in an actual truffle hunt but neither of us expected our experience to be the highlight of our trip to Italy. When we arrived at the home of our hosts, Giulio and Christina were so welcoming that we quickly felt as though we were visiting old friends. Giulio is exceptionally gregarious... More

For a deliciously unique experience in Florence Italy, book a visit with Guilio, The Truffle Hunter. Giulio picked us up, drove us to his beautiful villa on the outskirts of Florence. We sipped new wine and ate delicious appetizers prepared by his lovely companion, Christina while Giolio explained and answered questions about the truffle industry. After this introduction we went... More

My wife and I signed up online for the Truffle hunting experience. We had a great time from the moment we meet Guilio and Christina. He picked us up at the train station and then took us to his villa in the hills. His dog Edna is a bit shy but loves to find truffles and did warm up to... More

Highlight of our trip in Tuscany. Guilio and Christina welcomed us in their home, share knowledge and cooked spectacularly. Truffle hunt was stunning and Eda so clever, will never forget your kindness and spoiling our unborn baby with little pot of truffle honey. Many thanks and best wishes for your business. An absolute MUST!! Marie & Mark Brown London More
