This was our first time in Italy! My friends and I wanted to do something different so we decided to spend some days in Le Marche… fortunately we booked a very special truffle hunting with Moreno Moretti, a really handsome and smart guy!Thanks to his great help we stayed in a lovely farmhouse surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Sibillini Mountains! The nature was amazing! After the incredible truffle hunting a chef cooked fresh home-made pasta for us with some of the truffles we had found in the morning. It was very yummy!I can definitely say this trip was the best one I have had in a long time! Thanks a lot, Moreno!
We contacted Moreno Moretti, Le Marche Holiday by e-mail from the US and he arranged an excellent day tailor made to our group of 10. Our truffle hunter really did a great job showing us the science and the art in finding these tasty wonders. It had been raining, so his rubber boots looked like better footwear than what most of us showed up in. We had a tasting of truffle products at Acqualagna Tartufi, then back to our villa for a hands on cooking class and delectable lunch. Moreno was charming, fun, and we saw a side of Italy that we would not have seen any other way.
We had an unforgettable experience. I booked a tour few months ago and the experience was so much better even than what I was expecting. It's like an adventure, something so deep in the italian culture that you feel lucky to have the chance to experience something like this.Moreno is a fantastic person, it made us feel special the all time.Thank you so much, we will come back againHighly recommended
With nicola and his dogs nina and sofie. Nice experience, the rela stuff, not the touristtrap,inexperienced once in alba
An amazing time truffle hunting with Moreno! The views on the hike alone were worth the trip, then learning how to hunt for truffles was such a cool experience. Topping that off with a truffle-infused meal that I'll never forget and fun tours of local wineries to boot. This is the way to experience Italy. The Marche is my new favorite region!
I would like to recommend to everyone this amazing experience and I would definitely repeat it myself. I have always seen truffles like a delicious treat to have once in a while, but seeking and touching (and smelling, awww!) them in their natural environment was something so interesting. Everything has been possible thanks to Moreno, who is welcoming and professional, and his wonderful personality makes him not only the perfect guide, but someone very friendly and pleasant to spend time with. He organized a 3-days tour for me and my friends, not only about hiking and truffle-seeking, but also to discover small wineries in the vibrant Marche region, which are little and precious hidden gems, where he introduced us to wonderful, inspiring and authentic people committed to their passions. Moreno planned everything in details with his deep knowledge of the territory. We are really considering of coming back there!
Prior to our trip I found the information for truffle hunting via Trip Advisor. We had not been to Le Marche region previously so were looking for some unique things to do. Moreno was in contact very quickly with the info I was looking for and allowed us to arrange our activities very easily via email.He met us at the appointed time and we explored the area with him and he explained all about truffles, the seasons, the regulations, etc. We had a really fun time at the farm area watching the dog Franco find these truffles and we would have to get to the dog before he ate them (the dog was specially trained to find truffles so, of course, he loves truffles!) The entire area is beautiful and we went for a drive after to another beautiful hill town for an apertif and then on to our lunch which was wonderful! We were in Italy for 19 days and this lunch, which included our found truffles, was probably our best food of the trip - a family run locals restaurant. Moreno handled everything and is charming and fun to talk with - he was as interested in us as we were in all that he was doing (he does run many other activities so ask him or hire him to help you with your activities)! All in all, the four of us that got together with Moreno thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and this beautiful area in Italy. Do not hesitate to work with Moreno on your activities.
This is something you will never have a chance to do anywhere else in the world! Make it a must on your itinerary!
Thanks a lot to Moreno organizing our exotic truffle hunting day. Young truffle dog Spina - just 4,5 years old, was like a shuttle. It didn't take much time, when he found a truffle. And then the next and next. There were some more surprises besides the hunting - white cows were wondering on the top and picnic with snacks and drinks were waiting for us. The weather was wonderful andeverything was great! Greetings to Giovanni, his wife Anna and Spina!
My wedding couple was just super excited when I propose the Truffles hunting tour. They wanted something to chill out before their wedding day in Le Marche. Moreno, was at his best, on time, prepared and funny, he charmed us until the end of the tour, which finished whit an exquisite candle light dinner with vino and music! A memorable experience and a fantastic collaborator for Wedding Le Marche. Thank you again!
