Ho passato un’esperienza unica immerso nella natura Toscana. Amedeo e Francesca sono due ragazzi molto in gamba e professionali che sanno trasmetterti la loro passione e spiegarti al meglio quello che è un mestiere e una tradizione, la caccia al tartufo. Lo consiglio

We did a half-day truffle hunting experience with CASOL Truffle Hunting in Tuscany, and it was outstanding. The excursion began around 9:15 a.m. and lasted about an hour and a half, which was the perfect amount of time. The dogs were absolutely amazing. Their ability to detect truffles was incredible, and they seemed to find them nonstop. I was genuinely fascinated by how quickly and accurately they located them. The guide was terrific, knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the tradition of truffle hunting. After the hunt, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch featuring the truffles we had found, with each course thoughtfully enhanced by the truffle experience. It was a fantastic way to complete the morning. Truffle hunting has always been on my bucket list, and I’m happy to say I’ve now crossed it off. That said, it’s an experience I would gladly do again. It was enjoyable, authentic, and memorable from start to finish. If you’re considering truffle hunting in Tuscany, I highly recommend CASOL Truffle Hunting. The combination of expert guides, adorable and talented dogs, beautiful countryside, and exceptional food made for a truly special experience. 🍄🐕🇮🇹🇹🇮

Very enjoyable and informative tour with Amedeo, Francesca, and their beautiful dogs. Would recommend highly for anyone who likes truffles, food, dogs, learning, the outdoors, and/or stunning views - so, anyone. Also recommend Amedeo’s beautiful restaurant in the centro; everything we tried was superb.

We had a wonderful truffle hunting experience with Francesca and her expert truffle dog Olivia this past week. We were a group of 5 including one child. Francesca is incredibly knowledgeable and was amazing at fielding the barrage of questions we threw her way. Would definitely recommend this experience for adults as well as families with children.

Francesca lead our group through a breezy forrest in search of truffles. Within minutes many were found with the help of her dog Olivia. Francesca’s stories helped my ADD group learn so many interesting things about truffles that we will always remember. One of our lessons, truffle oil is like tofu meat. I would highly recommend this to all who visit. A great excursion for a hot sunny day.
