This was a truly amazing experience! The hills surrounding Assisi are absolutely beautiful. Barto the dog was a pro at finding truffles and it was very interesting to watch the dog and his master, the truffle hunter, work the woods in search of this edible treasure. Both the truffle hunter and the lady guide were very warm, friendly, informative, and really made this a fun and memorable adventure for all who attended the hunt. This has definitely been one of the highlights of my trip to Italy this year, and I highly recommend it!

In the truffle hunting world I could have never imagined such a dedicated, sensible, honest, professional and formative experience. The guys are young but experienced and eager to teach us in details everything from the biology of the topic to the cultural heritage. They are young and brilliant, the views are breathtaking, the dog, Barto, a professional little good boy, extremely skilled and sweet.
Me and my husband came in the latest season for finding truffles, so even if we didn’t find many (we still thought it was a lot! Considering how hard it is to find them!) we couldn’t be happier with the experience, it’s in the nature of the hunting.
Overall, compared to other similar experiences this was the absolute best. Worth every penny!
We will cherish the memory of this day forever.
We will probably come back and do this again on our next trip to Umbria!
Thank you a lot!

The truffle hunt was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon! Our guide, Gemma, was very knowledgeable about all things truffle and our great truffle hunter dog, Barto, made our hunt a success with various black truffles and a big white truffle as our catch! If you go on a hunt (which I highly recommend), make sure you have good hiking shoes and make sure you can handle a hike in hilly terrain! I’ll name Barto’s owner and guide as M., because I don’t know if he wants to be named. He is an expert truffle person and we were fortunate to have M., Gemma, and Barto to guide us! A-plus day!!

We had a wonderful time truffle hunting with Bartho the dog, Gemma and her partner, the truffle hunter. Bartho led the way while we trudged behind, always excited and happy when he starts barking and scratching at the dirt. We learnt a lot from Gemma, who was happy to share her knowledge and to answer any questions. Come prepared with proper footwear suitable for forest trekking. The amazing scenery was a real bonus! We had so much fun that it didn't matter that the truffles found that day was small. The highlight was when a white truffle was found - the aroma was just amazing! All in all, worth every dollar paid. We love Bartho!! Will do this again when we next visit Assisi.

Terrible customer service. They cancelled our trip with less than 24 hour notice and will not answer any calls/texts/emails with any explanation. Have tried to contact them for help and cannot get a response at all. Very frustrating after booking months in advance and paying upfront for the experience. Now having to try and get a refund. Disappointing

As we said in the chat (maybe you didn't read it), our truffle dog wasn't feeling well and we had to handle that problem. It was our priority to address this issue for the health of our friend, without whom, by the way, no experience could take place.
Of course, the refund was processed correctly.
We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to having you join our experience, ensuring that your review will be a 5-star one!

Gemma takes you into the woods with her boyfriend and the dog Barto in search of truffles. Barty starts the search and after he starts digging you can finish it! Amazing experience!! Small group, there were 5 of us. Well worth doing!

This was a wonderful experience with the trainer helping us learn about truffles and the dog training. All 8 of us, 12-80 years old were fascinated. Then we had a gourmet truffle lunch with wine that was delicious. Best trip of our two weeks in Italy!

I just want to say, that this was absolutely amazing adventure and the best great experience in Assisi nature. I was with my son spending high quality time with so well trained and behaved dog Barto searching for truffles in wonderful nature. Twice! Highly recommend for everyone.

Wonderful experience if you want something local and unique. You do need to be relatively fit to hike along the path with the dog. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a truly memorable activity in Umbria!
