Guidekin's take

A truffle hunt in the countryside near Rome with a trained dog and a hunter who explains where the truffles grow, then a long lunch built entirely around fresh truffles with wine, rated 4.95 across 98 reviews.

Hunt and the truffle lunch are included at €125 per person. Moderate fitness for the walk, and the listing says nothing about transport, so check.

In our comparison: #101 of 197 in Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
