We had such a wonderful time! Expert truffle hunter, who taught us all about hunting. We found 3 truffles and came back from the forest for a wonderful pasta dinner and learned how to create this wonderful dish at home. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. Don’t miss out!
Tolle Erfahrung!

Sara was a great host and gave us a deep insight to the world of truffles. How to hunt, how to educate the dogs, to define the category and quality, etc.
Afterwards she prepared a delicious dinner with truffles and let us learn that the easiest recipies are the best. We could highly recommend this tour!
One of the best things we did on our 2 week trip across Europe!

We had SUCH a good time with Sara and Liza hunting for truffles and learning all about their life in Slovenia! When people ask us what the best part of our honeymoon was, we always say our day in Slovenia! If you are considering booking, just do it! You will not be disappointed. After we watched Liza sniff out the truffles and learned all about how they hunt etc., Sara prepared a pasta dish with the truffles as well as delicious Slovenian wine and appetizers. I just can't say enough nice things about this tour!!!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
