    This was truly one of the...

    This was truly one of the most special experiences we had during our stay in Italy. Francesca and Enrica have an absolutely incredible home that transports you back to the 19th century. Upon arrival, they immediately made us feel like we were a part of the family. Her hunting companion, Ares, stole our hearts and we could not have asked for a better adventure. The Collebrunacchi farm is rich with history, stories, and amore. This experience was so much more than just truffles. Afterwards, they both made us one of the most memorable and expertly crafted meals we have ever had. Truly an unforgettable experience!

    A lovely adventure in the countryside

    We adored our time in the serene variegated Tuscan countryside. Niccolo showed a large passion and knowledge for wine, we learned much! Life would be made better by a return visit.

    Best day out in Tuscany

    Niccolò gave us an absolutely brilliant tour. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience both interesting and enjoyable. We had the best day truffle hunting and tasting wine in such a beautiful setting. Everything was very well organised, and Niccolò shared so much insight about truffles, wine, the local area, and the history of Tuscany. Thank you for such an amazing experience, it truly made our day and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

    Simply amazing!

    Wow, what an experience! We arrived at a stunning estate in the Tuscan countryside on a wet and cold day. We were greeted by Francesca and her mother and enjoyed a hot coffee. We then proceeded to explore the grounds and hunt for truffles and we were lucky to find a few! One of her dogs, Ares, is 11 months old, and is still training, but he still managed to uncover a few truffles! It was truly fascinating to watch him. After a rainy walk, we returned to there home to prepare lunch with a cooking lesson, with both Francesca and her mother. Lunch was then served with various wines, all from the estate. The lunch was delicious. Sad to leave, as you could tell there must be many interesting stories from the estate that has been in the same family for 6 generations! Don’t think twice about booking this experience — if you will not be disappointed. Even if it is during a rainier time of the year! Thank you so much for your hospitality and letting us enjoy your home with you! We will be back!

    Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 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 Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 387 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato?

    +

    Around 135 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Truffle Hunting Experience with Lunch in San Miniato 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.
