    Fantastic Truffle Hunting & Eating! Thank you

    Booked with Trip advisor via Viator. Clarified unsure pick up location quickly (2 locations and wrong one had .been put on our booking) and easily. Fantastic day with Michael and his dog. Explored the countryside, with hints and tips about the local flora and fauna, and although early in the truffle season we found enough truffles for all (group of 5) to eat a main meal with some added local delicacies, all home cooked by our fantastic host, with local and wine too. Really personal day. Thank you.

    Amazing Truffle Hunting Experience

    Truffle hunting with a dog is an amazing experience and this was truly authentic. Michele and his dog go out every day and some days he takes people like us along with him. His dog found 5 truffles on our trip and Michele then cooked them and served them with pasta and wine in his own home. This is as far away from corporate tourism as it gets and 100% recommended.

    Joy of truffles

    Words can’t describe the joy of finding truffles with a professional truffle dog and amazing kind guide like Michelle, this is a joyful and personal experience outside the touristic clechés and into the real Italian experience.

    My family loved it!

    Michael and Aika (his dog) picked us up from our hotel and led us on an incredible adventure in the Verona countryside. Yes, there are truffles that Aika skillfully finds but you are wandering the countryside and the trappings offered. IE in the summer we had bay, cherries and figs. Wear sneakers and be prepared for a light hike. Afterward you eat at a local restaurant and eat the harvested truffles and make some new friends. Recommended.

    We had a wonderful...

    We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend the truffle hunt! We were two adults and a 5-year-old boy, and it was a fun and memorable activity for all of us.

    Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant cost?

    +

    Prices start at $176 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Verona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 Verona is not rushed.

    Is Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Verona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant?

    +

    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 Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant?

    +

    Around 14 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 Verona 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 Verona and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant 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 Verona 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 Verona?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Verona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Verona Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy, Highlights and hidden gems Verona Bike Tour, Verona e-bike tour: city center and panoramic views. 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 Verona?

    +

    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 Verona?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Verona. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Truffle Hunting and Lunch Experience in a Restaurant offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
