Truffle hunt and picnic - What a wonderful excursion! We were out in nature and enjoying a very unique experience. The pasta with mushrooms and truffles, cooked right in front of us, made for a delicious picnic lunch (wine included!).

Feast in the forest - Great experience. Very informative and enjoyable. The guides were well informed and excellent communicators. The star of the show was Berta whose hard work and finely tuned nose found the truffles.
The hunt was followed by a very tasty meal of mushroom pasta with cheese and truffle which was comparable to any dish in a good restaurant.
Not to be missed.

A really enjoyable experience - This was a really unusual and enjoyable experience following Benfrah and her master through the forest watching her locate truffles. We then watched while a mushroom and pasta lunch was prepared and topped by shaved truffle. Definitely one to recommend.

$600 / 4 Hour experience. - This is a great experience. It is pricey. Almost $600. The staff that greats you and does the event information is very brusque.
The dog is wonderful as is his trainer! The chef that cooks the pasta is excellent. The truffles were kept by the staff and not given to our group (a bit disappointing).
The Museum is fantastic! Overall we really exited the experience. Not worth a repeat though. NicholasTours.com
