So much fun - Absolutely A+. Great location in an oak forest. Friendly, funny staff that explained everything and answered all questions. Their dog Benita was the star of the show. Friendly and lovable, he found quite a few palm sized truffles in short order. A joy to watch. The truffle and penne pasta lunch was delicious.

Really fun truffle hunt and picnic lunch in Meteora - The truffle hunting dog was amazing! The guides were so informative! It was really fun walking through the forest and doing the hunt. A flock of sheep went by, and that was interesting! The pasta picnic lunch with mushrooms and truffles was delicious. Watching the preparation of the meal was super cool. It was really fun and I highly recommend it!

Hunting for truffles - Unique experience. The welcome was exceptional. A beautiful natural site where we could see a dog and his master at work. The dinner that followed, from pasta to mushrooms and truffles, prepared in front of us, was a treat. Activity to do that complements the visit of the monasteries.

Out of the ordinary experience excellently done - Lara the dog was very sweet and wanted to be patted, except when she was told to hunt. Then she was very focused and found truffles every time she dug. The dog handler was friendly and the English speaking guide from the mushroom museum answered all our questions. You should wear good closed walking shoes as there are tree stumps. The air was fresh and smells of thyme and flowers. The lunch of mushrooms and truffles pasta was delicious and generous and the wine was excellent. If you can arrange to go, it will s an experience not to be missed.

Hunting black gold - We followed the cute truffle-hunting dog in a lovely forest environment, and were then cooked a delicious picnic meal of mushroom and truffle pasta using the finds. A very enjoyable, educative and different experience from a pleasant team.

Unforgettable truffle hunting experience - From start to finish this truffle hunting adventure was magical. The walk through the forest with our knowledgeable guide, dog handler, and expertly trained dog was both peaceful and thrilling. Every time she unearthed the truffle is felt like striking gold. At the end of the hunt, we relaxed as our cook, prepared an incredible pasta mushroom dish right there in the forest. It was a celebration of flavor earthy aromatic exquisitely, balanced this beautifully prepared meal featured the truffles we had just forged.
