5Everything was amazing...
Everything was amazing from the truffle hunt to the dinner. The guide and the server were great. The experience was amazing and I would highly recommend it to anyone going to Italy.
5Worth
Lucca the guide is awesome. Learned a ton and he will be someone we would contact if we travel to Tuscany again. The experience with the winery was very nice but the highlight for us was hanging out with Lucca and his dog Lilly
5Wonderful experience!
Truffle hunting with Luca and his beautiful dog Lily was a wonderful experience. I learnt alot about the various types of truffles, how they grow and when the black/white truffles are available. Watching Lily search for truffles was a delight. Lucca presented us with a gift of truffles which was completely unexpected. The truffle lunch and wine tasting at the farm was excellent. The service was amazing and the staff was kind and respectful. This is a must experience for any truffle lover to do when visiting San Gimignano. 10/10
5Fun, easy and wear long pants
One hour for truffle hunting. It was very informative and very easy. We were in the brush so recommend wearing long pants.
5Fantastic activity!

5Truffles
Luke was very knowledgeable about truffles , and very friendly. Made us laugh about his white truffle experience just to take a picture of his treasure while his dog was taking a bite of it.

About San Gimignano
San Gimignano, in Tuscany, is a hill town of medieval stone towers, built on a ridge above the vineyards of the Elsa valley.
San Gimignano rises on a hilltop in the Tuscan countryside south-west of Florence, its skyline pricked by medieval towers built by rival families as symbols of wealth. More than a dozen still stand. The town is listed by UNESCO, and its stone streets run between two gates to the Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square with a thirteenth-century well, beside the Piazza del Duomo.
