This was the best tour that my gf and I did while visiting Prague. It is not an ordinary excursion, which made it so awesome for me. Ela is so knowledgeable and passionate about her craft and very easy to talk to. The tour was super informative and active and the lunch was soooooo good! Wear your comfy shoes and get ready to hike uphill! Some gorgeous views to be seen and stories to be told. Nela is super smart and absolutely beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this tour if you like truffles or want to learn more about them and their history/industry!

This review is long overdue, but I am so excited to share what an amazing experience this is! I traveled with four friends to Prague for the first time this past August and we quickly fell in love with the city - amazing sightseeing, restaurants, and nightlife. While we loved so many activities, we were fortunate to spend our last day in Prague truffle hunting with Petr and his dog Nela. This amazing truffle-hunting team controls 80% of Prague’s truffle market and supplies all of Czech’s Michelin-starred restaurants. Petr was incredibly knowledgeable and kind enough to share his experiences as a truffle hunter - I was completely mesmerized by his stories. I learned SO SO much from the few hours we spent with him. Nela was equally mesmerizing and it was great to see her relationship with Petr. We were excited to see her in action, and on our walk through the park, Nela easily found 4 black truffles! Our tour ended with a delicious lunch with freshly-shaved truffle. This tour is a MUST for foodies and non-foodies alike! I have so much respect for Petr and Nela and hope to be able to experience truffle-hunting again with them someday! Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Prague - you won't regret it! :D

Although we chose this trip for the truffles, Petr is so knowledgeable, charming and inspiring that it's really his personality that makes the tour. We weren't surprised to learn he's been featured on TV and radio, but we were still impressed that in only 3 years Petr has become the #1 truffle supplier in the Czech market by working collaboratively with other truffle hunters across Europe. And Nela is a key partner of course! She's an eager, happy, beautiful dog. But about truffles - the industry is far more interesting than we would have expected, and you'll enjoy learning about it. I had mistakenly expected we were going to be hunting truffles out in the forest, but Petr explained how arduous and uncertain that would have been, so the truffle hunting demonstration was actually much better. And we enjoyed discussing politics and life with Petr over our truffle lunch, which was quite tasty. I'm looking forward to making truffle meals with our gifted truffles when we get back home, and I'll remember Petr and Nela fondly every time I taste truffles from now on. This tour is unusual, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly highly recommended.

We did this tour our first day in Prague for our 6 month wedding anniversary. It was beyond our expectations, what a unique and interesting way to spend the day! The truffle lunch was also out of this world and we were given two huge truffles, plus all of the leftover from lunch truffles to take with us!
If you are looking for something unique and different from the rest of the tourists, do this tour! You will not regret it!

I loved everything about this tour. Petr did a great job of explaining how truffle hunting works and how his dog Nela was trained. She showed us how she finds the truffles, and it really is impressive - she was running by the one I hid, and she stopped dead in her tracks and found it. The group size was perfect (less than 10), and I thoroughly enjoyed having lunch with everyone afterwards. Petr also gave us truffles and suggested meals they pair nicely with. This was something totally different to do that was so fun and informative, and the park was beautiful with the fall foliage. I would highly recommend!

Highly recommend the truffle hunting tour! We were lucky to have no other customers in our tour so it became a kind of private tour. The explanation was very clear and you will learn a lot about the history or the ways about truffle hunting. you will know more about how to train a dog in the truffle hunting too.
The meeting point is very easy to find.
The dog is sooooo adorable! She was sooooo smart to find some truffle during the trip!
The lunch offered taste good. I enjoy the pasta and the juice. The view from the restaurant was stunning ! you can see the nice view of Prague!
The communication was wonderful. I am very pleased.

We so enjoyed our truffle hunt on Petrin Hill. The information was very entertaining and amazing in describing the training required for the dog and also the history and information about truffles. Nice leisurely walk up the hill with frequent stops for information and demonstrations and at the end, a delicious lunch including truffles. This was a highlight of our trip.

We really enjoyed our day out with Nela the dog and Nela the tour guide as they showed us how truffle hunting works and Nela the dog snuffled put some truffles in the park. We then enjoyed a gorgeous lunch in the restaurant overlooking the city and enjoyed a creamy pasta with truffles. Do something a little different on your holiday and try this out.

This experience is a must do in Prague if you like truffle, it'll be perfect if you're also a dog person! Petr shares a lot about the truffle business and professional dog training. It's a lot of fun talking with him, getting to know about truffle, and the gift from him is absolutely unique!
