Overview of your Pisa tour:

Do you know what TRUFFLE is? Truffle is THE FOOD OF KINGS, a fungus that grows underground only in specific areas. The town of San Miniato is known as the "Town of Truffles", during this tour you will have the unique experience to flank an expert truffle-hunter hunting truffles with his dog during a nice walk in the woods surrounding San Miniato. THE HUNTER BELONGS TO ONE OF THE MOST HISTORIC TRUFFLE FAMILIES from the area! At the end we will bring the prey back to the restaurant where we'll get ready to have a wonderful lunch based on the truffles hunted! After lunch we will explore the heart of San Miniato, a medieval jewel in the Pisan hills along the river Arno, that for its strategic position became the Seat of Imperial Vicars in the Middle Ages. I will show you the main spots and will tell you how the town is connected to Pinocchio and Napoleon! Yes, you read well: such a small town with a lot of history, prestige and good food! What are you waiting for? Join me for this unique and succulent tour!
