The two-hour tour is poor value for money. The historical part of the guided tour is interesting, but not outstanding. The food stops were disappointing. You could just as easily visit these shops and try the products without a guide. For €69 per person, I don't think it's special enough.

Our guide, Margherita, expertly guided us through Alba and, with her expert knowledge, shared many interesting and fascinating facts. We also had the opportunity to sample various truffle and hazelnut products. A tour of a fine, organic hazelnut production facility was also on the agenda. Everything was very interesting and informative! Thank you so much, Margherita!
