Bike Ride Anywhere, But the Magic of Carrara Marble is Found Only Here!

Published on Sep, 2024

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You can bike on your own or anywhere in the world! But you can’t experience Carrara Marble elsewhere, only in Carrara! I had an unforgettable tour through the breathtaking Carrara mountains, and it was a perfect blend of history, culture, and stunning landscapes. The tour offered fascinating insights into the ancient marble quarries and the detailed process of turning raw stone into exquisite works of art. The Nicola is fun, professional, and patience to address all your questions. Plus, knowledge made every stop feel meaningful. I highly recommended for anyone looking to experience both the beauty and craftsmanship of this remarkable region!

Informative and intimate tour

Published on Aug, 2024

We had an amazing experience! Nicola was a fantastic tour guide. We also got to try lardo and go through old train tunnels!

Carrara is an amazing site

Published on Jul, 2024

I was not really interested in going to see a quarry, so glad my husband talked me in to going. Nicola is a wonderful guide, he is a geologist and very knowledgeable about not only the stone and history of the quarry but also the local history. We had a great time talking with him and getting local restaurant recommendations

Beautiful experience

The tour was great. Nicola is not only a guide. He is a geologist and knows exactly what he is talking about. Descriptions with full of details. Super friendly as well.
