A perfect afternoon - An amazing experience from beginning to end. Beautiful and generous people with loving dogs and just a great time in the woods and at the local trattoria to celebrate our truffle finds.

A Great Day Truffle Hunting - We had a great time truffle hunting and sharing the day with Sinchi and Felix and the great furry hunter, Gemma! It was a wonderful drive into the countryside in a bright sunny day and walking through the hillside. The lunch in the small village heading on local food with the shaved new found truffles over our pasta was absolutely delicious!!

A lovely excursion! - What a delightful experience with Secil, Felix, their sweet dogs and their hunting partner! We toured the most beautiful countryside, saw the dogs and their owners in action hunting truffles, and participated and completed the tour with a wonderful lunch in which we tasted the truffles that were found! Highly recommend for an experience of authentic Piedmont culture and food!

A great day in the forest with new friends - Cecil, Felix and Santino made this trip so memorable, they made us feel like family from the moment we met them. We had a lovely day in the forest with a fantastic group of people. We were lucky enough to find a white truffle and Gemma (the dog) made sure we had enough truffles to make lunch a meal to remember. I could not recommend this trip enough, we will definitely be coming back to do this again when we are in Italy again.

Highly recommended experience - A fantastic experience. My husband and I were so lucky to meet Santo, Felix and Secil with their 4 dogs. Such kind people. Under perfect weather conditions we strolled through the forest and the dogs were successfully digging for truffles. Afterwards we went to a traditional family restaurant and had the best Italian food and an even better company. The trip was so much fun and the memories will stay for a long time. Absolutely recommended.

Great Experience! - We had an amazing morning truffle hunt in Asti, followed by a great lunch. The hosts drove us from Turin to the countryside, shared information about the region and truffle hunting along the way, and guided us (with their dogs) on a walk through the woods. We found many truffles, including the rare white truffle, and it was a thrill every time. We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in the countryside, and capped off several of the (many) courses with freshly-shaved truffles from our morning bounty. Truly a wonderful day, with lovely and knowledgeable hosts and their great dogs. Highly recommended.

Truffle Hunting Spectacular! - Cacillia and Santorino provided a spectacular show in the Alban mountainside. The canine truffle hunters were expert and sweet to be around. Highly recommended for hikers and active and adventurous travelers. Please look for our full article in the Miami Independent for a more detailed description.

One-of-a-kind truffle hunting with passioned professionals - I was really lucky to be a part of this amazing, one-of-a-kind experience of truffle hunting. Our hosts Secil, Felix and Santino and 4 talented dogs shared with our joined excursion their passion about truffles and Piedmontese nature. The journey started in Turin. And I'd say that you highly unlikely find any other excursions where you are picked up and transported to the site as a part of a tour. Many thanks to Secil for landing the tracking boots. A coffee and some treats in the village on the way to adventures — and you are fully awake and ready for a hunt. It's not a simulated hunt, and it adds even more to the experience. Feel the rush when the young, talented Gemma or profi Vasco picks up the scent; dig truffles; climp the hills; cross the springs; have some rest and discuss your feelings and findings with your fellow hunters..and repeat until your hands are full of truffles and you feel a real hunger (hours in the fresh air will do this to you). The next stop is about food. The authentic restaurant with an overly Italian owner/chef can exist even as a separate tour. But you are lucky — you got all at once. The cources are spiced up with huge chunks of fresh truffle your team found (we got black). Several courses (not to mention wine) and you are full. The family atmosphere and friendly jokes at the table make you feel a little bit Italian. On your way back to Turin there is another stop for wine tasting. The weather and your luck in truffle findings might differ per day or per season. But the heartwarming approach and passion of Secil, Felix and Santino are constants. Many thanks, and I highly recommend it.
