scher Posted January 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Am looking to be picked up at the port of Livorno to go on a truffle hunt. Has anyone done this? Please give me any information you have. I am having a hard time finding a tour at a reasonable price. $1000.00 for 4 people is way to much. The truffle hunting and lunch is about $400.00 to $600.00 but a 45 minute ride from port to San Miniato and back shouldn't be $400.00 for 4 people.

lisiamc Posted January 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Is this for your September cruise? There is a white summer truffle in season during September, but if you’re looking for the knock-your-socks-off-from-50-feet-away experience with the black truffle, you may be disappointed. Fresh black truffles are only available from November to February. The tour might be interesting in the off season, but it may not be what you are hoping for.

Nor how to find the cost What I meant was you seem to know what the costs shouldn't be...not sure how you know that. But report back on what you find out. Bear in mind, if you arrange a private driver, you are keeping that driver and car busy for the drive to, the entire time you are doing the tour, eating, etc. And then driving back. And Europe isn't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
