Family friendly truffle hunting and pasta making experience with sweet personable hospitality - The truffle hunting with Giovanni and his dog Porthos was awesome. Our dog was allowed to join us on the hunt. Very pet friendly! Alyssa, our guide, was very knowledgeable. The cooking class with Simone was one of the highlight of our trip. Our teens really enjoyed learning how to make pasta. The food was prepared with the truffles we found and the pasta we made. It was a delicious lunch! Would recommend this experience for families, adults and pets.

So much fun! - I was really looking forward to this experience while visiting Italy/Tuscany and it didn’t disappoint! The highlights included the beautiful setting, the fun walk with Portos (the incredible truffle hunting dog), the great time with Simona leading me through the steps of pasta making and of course the delicious lunch. But the other details were well taken care of too - for example, the seamless transfer from the train station, assisting with booking my return train ticket and some extra practice with the pasta roller -everything added up to a wonderful experience that I will fondly remember!! Thanks so much to Carmen, Alyssa, Simona, Giovanni and of course Portos for a fabulous day!

Incredible and a must do!! - This was the most beautiful and authentic experience. It will change your perspective and make you fall in love with the Tuscan countryside and we had a great experience with Alissa's great guide through this journey, with the wonderful truffle hunter Giovanni and the cutest dog Portos that was super entertaining to watch. And a lovely cooking class with the amazing chef Simona that makes you feel at home. Paolo gave us a a great ride through the countryside showing us the beauty and joy of the culture, an experience recommended for all.

Thank you Alyssa, Simone, Giovanni and Paolo, for a lovely tour in Mugello 🤩 - This has been the highlight of my trip to Florence. It is a must see and must go. Alyssa was our lovely and knowledgeable guide throughout the woods and through the truffle hunting experience. Giovanni and Portos were so friendly and knowledgeable and really elevated the truffle hunting experience. I want thank Simon for the great cooking class, we learned a lot of great techniques and ate the most delicious food. And I would like to thank Alyssa as well for teaching us how to make the classic Italian moka pot coffee. I would also like to thank Paolo for giving us such a great drive with spectacular views and lots of great tips and information about the views. He gave us an amazing experience. I sincerely thank everyone there Alyssa, Simon, Giovanni, Paolo and Portos. For a great experience that I will never forget. I will definitely visit as soon as I can and thank you again. It was the trip of a lifetime, definitely something everyone should experience at least once in their life. Thank you again sending love to everyone at Mugello and Tuscany❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you love country cooking this is your class - I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty incredible experiences in my life and this one with Christian and Paolo would be in my top 10. If you enjoy cooking and a little history this is a must do while in Florence. I would be remiss not to mention Bruno our amazing truffle hutting dog who did his job wonderfully. The food Christian taught us to cook was not only delicious but easy to make with simple fresh ingredients. Paolo our driver was incredibly knowledgeable and took such care to explain the history of the area and point out sites we would have otherwise overlooked or not known to look for. He made our journey perfect!

Great truffle hunting and cooking experience. - We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Carmen and Chiara gave us a really good history of the area and about truffles, truffle hunting and all things truffle! The walk on the hunt was not too Lon, not too short, about an hour and again lots of information on how dogs are trained to find these truffles. The cooking experience with Cristian was amazing and we loved it as it was very hands on. Lots of different types of pasta and then eating it all afterwards was great. Thank you we would highly recommend this course along with a stay in Mugello.

Well worth the time and cost for this experience! - This was a very enjoyable experience, from the truffle hunting to the cooking class to the luncheon. We walked in the Tuscan forest with the truffle hunter and his dog. Ample truffles were found to use in our pasta recipes. It was fun, relaxing and beautiful to experience that environment. Thank you, Paulo, for teaching us about truffles and for providing translation when necessary. The cooking class was conducted by Simone, a professional chef, and was done very well. We made three types of pasta and learned how to properly cook the dishes. There were 5 people in our group. We sat down to a very lovely and lively lunch consisting of our creations plus more. I feel that the cost of this experience was very reasonable considering all that was provided. My son and I spent two nights at the Agriturismo Corzano, the farm where the experience took place. We found it charming and very comfortable. Breakfast is included in the lodging price but dinner is not provided at this location. Laura, the owner, made us feel at home and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you, Carmen, for organizing our experience and making sure all details were worked out.

Truffle hunting with dog and pasta making class with delicious feast at the end. - This was the highlight of my 2 weeks in Tuscany. Carmen and Paolo were so welcoming and responsive to messages regarding the logistics of getting to the farm. The truffle hunting with the hunter and dog, Gina was great fun and Gina found us about 7 truffles to use later. The chef was patient teaching us pasta making tricks and then she cooked it all up for a fabulous feast. Leave plenty of room for the food and optional wine! A wonderful experience!
