    As described

    We had booked this tour about 10 months prior to our travels. Our reservation was confirmed at that time. About 2 weeks before our travels, I attempted to reconfirm our arrangements but after several attempts to reach by the website email and WhatsApp chat, I finally called. Carmen did re-confirm and then sent the name of our driver and pick-up location. The tour went as described. We did a short walk in the woods with the dog and his owner and saw how truffles are hunted. We all questioned if the truffles were “planted” for our benefit rather than actually hunted but I’m not sure that really mattered as we would have been disappointed if we found none. The cooking class involved learning to make pasta but the cooking and preparation was done in the kitchen away from us. Overall it was as described but I think the communication could have been better.

    Wonderful experience!

    What a great way to spend a blustery winter day! We found 71 gm of black truffle, created delicious pasta, and enjoyed a beautiful lunch with new friends! Highly recommend!

    Truffle Hunting & Pasta Making

    Transportation from Florence can be provided. Everybody was courteous and helpful. We took a ride out of the city and into the mountains. The scenery was beautiful. The guide and the dog found multiple truffles. The pasta making class was fun and informative. Because a white truffle had been found recently, we were able to taste both white and black truffles. This is experience is definitely worth doing.

    The BEST!!!!!!

    This was one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. We did the truffle hunting, pasta making class, and then ate the truffles we found and the pasta we made. Alyssa was so sweet and amazingly accommodating and Mario (the chef) made us feel right at home. The lunch was honestly one of the best meals I have ever had. A once and a lifetime experience! Best to rent a car or order a ride in advance.

    Most spectacular day of our two week trip to Italy!

    What an amazing day we had on our truffle hunt and cooking class! We spent two weeks in Italy and our day at Mugello&Tuscany was certainly a highlight. My mom (80) and son (24) and I were picked up by Carmen at the train station in Florence and driven to the most gorgeous farm about 45 minutes away. It was a little drizzly weather-wise but they even provided boots for everyone and raincoats! I was concerned about the walk for mom as she has some mobility challenges, but both our guide and our expert truffle hunter kept the pace manageable for her. And Gina the dog???? Adorable and such a good hunter! Brava Gina!!! We learned a huge amount and found loads of truffles to make lunch later. And lunch??? The cooking portion of this event was hands down the best cooking class I’ve been to (and I’ve been to many)!Our chef was spectacular, sharing techniques about pasta making that we didn’t know. We made gnocchi (which I thought I didn’t really like in the past) and he shared the proper way to cook it. I am now a huge fan. The class was well paced and incredibly fun in large part due to the warm and lovely personality of our chef! If o could give this experience 10 stars, I would. Book it now!

    5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does 5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.

    Is 5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class?

    +

    Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 5 Hours Truffle Hunt Experience with Cooking Class start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Florence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Florence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
