カッラーラ大理石採石場と博物館ツアー

Very competent, passionate, and helpful, he illustrated the marble processing systems from the past to the present day in a clear and engaging way, providing interesting information regarding this precious and unique material. He speaks English perfectly

Nicola’s knowledge made making marble slabs so interesting . It is hard, dangerous work to excavate these mountains so it no surprise that these countertops are so expensive . We enjoyed our tour very much .

A very beautiful experience in these magnificent and gigantic marble quarries

It was an informative tour and the quarries are huge. Nicola was very interesting and knowledgable. The tour lasted about 90 minutes.

Manuella super guide!! A MUST-SEE visit.

Very interesting and impressive and knowledgable guide

This tour was a highlight of our Italy visit. It was amazing to see the quarries and learn about the process. It is a spectacular site to see. We’re so glad we took this tour.

We paid for a private Carrara marble tour for our family of six. The quarry experience was the primary reason we booked this tour, and unfortunately it was one of the biggest disappointments of our entire Italy trip. The quarry visit lasted less than five minutes. We parked on the side of the road, walked approximately 20 feet off the road, looked at the marble mountain hundreds of feet away, took a couple of photos, listened to a brief explanation, and left. We never entered a quarry, visited an active quarry, or explored the quarry area in any meaningful way. Before booking, I had researched several Carrara tour operators. Many of them take guests into the quarries by 4x4, stop at multiple quarry locations, and provide a much more immersive experience. That is the type of experience I believed we were paying for. Instead, our quarry stop was essentially a brief roadside stop. The "museum" was not what I expected either. It was an outdoor display with historical photographs, informational signs, and a few pieces of old equipment. It was interesting to read, but it was not a traditional museum experience and did not justify the cost of a private guided tour. The lardo tasting was simply one piece of bread with one slice of lardo that was a free sample from a shop. We did not have an opportunity to walk around Colonnata or experience the village. As soon as we finished eating the 1 free sample, we were asked to get back into the local bus and continue. We had expected an in-depth private quarry experience and instead felt like we wasted a lot of time in the store and museum and then we were being moved quickly from the rest of the tour. Nicola is knowledgeable and friendly, but knowledge alone did not make this a good value. For 800, we expected a genuine Carrara quarry experience. Instead, the actual quarry portion lasted only a few minutes and never went beyond the roadside. If your goal is to truly experience the Carrara marble quarries, I would recommend looking carefully at operators that include actual quarry access or dedicated 4x4 quarry tours. Based on our experience, this tour did not provide the level of access or immersion that we expected.

Everything is great A must-do for everyone

Nicola the guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Very detailed explanations and answered all our questions. To arrive to the meeting point a car is required and the road trip is also beautiful.
