Truffle hunting was amazing!
Group of four - 2 adults and 2 kids ages 12 and 10. Everything about this tour was amazing. The Italian mountainside was beautiful, the dog was adorable, the guides were fantastic, and lunch was incredible. The kids loved it as much or more so than the adults. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity that is not to be missed.

Truffle adventure = happy happy day!
We loved our truffle hunting experience from start to finish. Our day started with breakfast in a small charming town. The coffee and the pastry were delicious! This is where we met the truffle hunter and his dog. After breakfast we journeyed up into the mountains. The views were gorgeous and we had perfect weather. It was much cooler than the weather we had in Naples and we were grateful for that! On our hike our guide and the hunter answered lots of questions about truffle hunting and also gave us information about what we could see at some of the vistas. We learned a lot. When we did find truffles we would get so so excited! After a couple of hour on the mountain our guide took us to a charming place for lunch. Here we enjoyed our truffles on a variety of foods. We were treated to amazing local wine and so much great food! We returned to our hotel happy, full, with a few truffles in hand. I can’t recommend choosing this adventure enough especially if you’re a truffle fan!

An Adventure to experience
From start to finish, this tour was well planned and executed. Each supporting staff member preformed their duties with excellence and a very friendly attitude. Our first stop was at a village cafe which provided us with outstanding breakfast pastries and either tea or your choice of many types of coffee. We met the truffle hunter and his dog, then headed up the mountain. We climbed at a reasonable rate until we reached the truffle area, where the hunter worked with the dog to find the truffles. And he did! Giuseppe was most in lighting on the history and culture of the area. After, the dog found the truffles we were taken to La Corte die Filangieri in Candida and Chief Antonio prepared a seven course lunch featuring our truffles, and wines. What an experience that we will remember for years.

Best birthday experience!
My family and I booked this excursion for my birthday while visiting Italy. It was the best experience! Our guide picked us up right on time, was so knowledgeable, and everything was planned perfectly. Our truffle hunter and darling dog went at a great pace for our group (we had a 2 and 4 year old with us), and we found a bunch of truffles! We concluded the day by having one of the most delicious meals at a very authentic restaurant. Such an amazing experience- would definately do again!

Unique experience
The entire tour was well-executed. My family was first picked up from our hotel at Naples and then driven to a lovely small town for breakfast. Later we went on to meet the truffle hunter along with his two cute dogs. The truffle hunt in the mountain was amazing. Giuseppe the guide had been very attentive: throughout the entire excursion, he acted as the communicative bridge between us and the truffle hunter and he gave us a great deal of information. He even constantly asked if we had questions, ensuring that we could make the most out of it. So, YES, we were able to get hold of our own truffle! But that wasn't the sole purpose of the tour, we got to know what it takes for truffles to form in the habitat. The lunch afterwards at the local restaurant was stunning. Each and every course was perfect! We enjoyed our long chat with Giuseppe and our driver during lunch. It was quite thought-provoking. Giuseppe also suggested a place for us to have great yet affordable seafood. We followed his suggestion that night to end our holiday in Italy on a high note. We highly recommend this tour to those who wish to explore Italy, or Campania, in depth. It is absolutely worth it to spend a day in the countryside to learn about not only the truffles, but also the ecosystem, the geography, and the food/wine culture there.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $430 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 Naples is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch?
+
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 Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch?
+
Around 3 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 Naples 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 Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Truffle-Hunting Experience from Naples with Lunch 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 Naples 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 Naples?
+
On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Private Amalfi Coast Tour from Sorrento/Naples/Salerno, Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class. 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 Naples?
+
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 Naples?
+
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.
