An Unforgettable Experience!
What an incredible experience! The highlight of our trip. Our host, Monica, was so friendly and welcoming. Her family owns the business and prepared our delicious truffle lunch. Our hunting guide was Morgan with his truffle dog, Pipo. Monica and Morgan walked us through the woods and explained the entire truffle process...from training the dogs, hunting and harvesting truffles, the ways truffles are used and sold. Members of our tour were able to dig up truffles once Pipo found them. After about an hour, we had a lovely buffet truffle based lunch. There is also a small store to buy products and they accept credit cards, so stock up! It was a day we will never forget. Thank you Monica and family for your warm hospitality!
Response from the operator: hello thank you to you for your visit and your kindly review, grazie mille Monica

Must do Experience in the Tuscany Region
What an amazing experience and unlike anything else we've done on our vacation. The dogs were adorable and oh so friendly and our hosts were so kind and provided so much information and answered questions. We never felt rushed and you can tell they love what they do, the dogs too! The tasting after was amazing and again not rushed. They also offer a full meal option. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling in the Tuscany region. It was recommended to us by a friend and now we're recommending to everyone! Oh and the shop is full of their custom made items and so reasonably priced. We bought a bunch!
Response from the operator: hello, thank you so much for your fantastic review and we waiting a lot of your friends, bye Monica & Riccardo , Birba & Maya

Great experience for me and my son. Highly recommend

Very cool activity
This was such an incredible experience for our families! We went as two families with a total of 4 children ages 7-12. Everyone thought the idea was “kind of cool” but then were blown away by the experience. This is a family business run by Monica and Ricardo and they clearly pour their hearts into it. We learned a lot, had a great time, and then enjoyed an incredible homemade meal with the truffles we had just found! The meal is a bit extra and they’ll message you the day before to ask if you want it. It is totally reasonably priced and 100% worth it. Plus then you get to spend more time with Monica and hear more about her family’s history as truffle hunters. We drove almost 2 hours for this experience and would do it all over again! (The truffle hunting dogs were incredible and super friendly, but we also got to play with their family dogs as well, which my kids were so happy to do and helped with the fact that they miss their doggie while we’re away!)
Response from the operator: hello, thanks for your visit and thanks for your message, if you can back in tusscany we waiting for you , grazie mille

Truffle hunting with Nacci Tartuffi in Corrazano was amazing
5 stars!!! Wonderful truffle hunting in Corazanno with the family who owns Nacci Tartuffii. The whole family (wife and 3 teenagers, 2 girls and 1 boy) absolutely had a ball. And the hospitality of the folks at Nacci Tartuffi well exceeded my expectations! You won’t regret doing this!
Response from the operator: hallo, thank you so much! grazie mille Monica Riccardo Birba & Maya we waiting for you next time!!!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lucca.
How much does Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs cost?
+
Prices start at $114 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lucca 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 & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Lucca is not rushed.
Is Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs 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 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lucca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs?
+
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 & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs?
+
Around 20 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 Lucca 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 Lucca and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs 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 Lucca 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 Lucca?
+
On Outty we rank every Lucca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tuscan Wine Tour in Lucca by van, Lucca’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Lucca Bikes and Bites with food tastings for Small Groups or Private. 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 Lucca?
+
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 Lucca?
+
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 & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs?
+
Included: Truffle hunting with dogs and expert guide (Truffle hunter); and truffle tasting with wine. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs?
+
At the entrance you will find a totem with the word TARTUFI NACCI, you will find the gate open, come on in and we will be waiting for you! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Truffle Hunting & Tasting in San Miniato Tuscany with Dogs offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
