A wonderful way to spend the afternoon! - This was one of the best afternoons we have spent in France. From the knowledgeable Truffle Hunters explanations, both in English and French, his quick wit and humor, and of course the star of the tour, Millie, the truffle dog searching and finding truffles on the grounds. After a wonderful presentation, we experienced a great 3 course truffle lunch, paired with wines for each course. The next stop was wine tasting at Chateau de Pommard for a private wine tasting. All part of the "Tuffle Lunch Experience." This should be a must for anyone visiting the Beaune-Pommard area. Carolyn and Tom, Virginia, USA

The truffle in all its forms - A high quality presentation in French and English. All aspects of the subject, both scientific and gastronomic, are presented in an incredibly funny way. A demonstration and tasting conclude this perfect presentation.

Memorable journey - Great presentation and story telling by the guide Nickolas! Definitely worth to attend it! We listened to the history of truffles, their different kinds and locations of growth.

Interesting and entertaining - Nicholas was quite a character and very entertaining! We appreciated that he spoke so many languages. His dog was awesome! Although they both did a fantastic job, it might have been more fun to go a bit deeper into the woods to hunt the truffles. The tasting at the end was great, and they have plenty of truffle products for sale. We learned SO much about truffles as Nicholas is very knowledgeable. You will need a car or spend 33€ to Uber to the location.

Beautiful discovery - During our visit to the Thousand Truffles House, we greatly appreciated the enchanting setting and the richness of the experience. On the other hand, the excessive size of the group and the way the visit was conducted in French and English somewhat hampered the flow of explanations. The introduction, in particular, seemed a little too long — especially for children.

People are very enthusiastic about the different truffles and their flavors. - It was a beautiful and long story that was told super enthusiastically. I personally thought it was a great pity that we didn't walk through the woods during the story. Now it was too long a sit. The actual "search" was also a bit disappointing. That too can be more fun during a walk.

If you have some free time - It’s informative and we learned all about truffles. The first hour is sitting on a hard chair and watching a video presentation, which your guide discusses. He does it in both French and English, so it takes a while. Then you go out into their park, where they have buried some truffles and watch the adorable dog dig them up. You then go back inside for a lovely tasting of four types of truffles. We had a free afternoon, so we’d booked this and I was glad we did.

Slow experience - The presentation is very long. The transition between french and English is too sudden so you miss out on things. The owner is friendly but the truffle hunting is basically him putting on a circus show with his dog. Overall not worth it. Better to go for the wine grapes plucking experiences
