Overview

The only Carrara marble tour that allows you to get in a real cave. Nice to meet you! We are drivers and tour leaders... we would like to show you an hidden gem of Tuscany! I will pick you up with my professional van from the area of Lucca or Pisa and I will bring you up on the mountain of Carrara. We will reach the cave and we will jump in a 4x4 Jeep that can drive us inside. A professional tour guide will explain you everything about the story of this legendary place: not only how they work and they extract the marble, but also how they are producing a special wine or how to recognize a real Carrara marble from a fake one. At the end of tour, we will get out from the cave and I will drive you up in the little village of Colonnata: a very small and authentic place famous for a very tasty kind of salami... "lardo di colonnata" ! I can bring you in the best food shop to buy a piece of lard or try to book a local restaurant for a tasting! A tour off the beaten path :)

Raffelle was our guide snd thr highlight of our tour. Very personable snd knowledgable of the different towns all the way. Answered all of our questions about culture. Pleasant , enjoyable snd fun!

Breathtaking

Published on Oct, 2024

What a beautiful experience!!! I saw images of Carrara marble quarries in Google a few years ago and knew I had to come visit Lucca. Our tour guide Raffael was welcoming and well versed in his knowledge of the area we drove through as well as the Carrara marble quarries. Not only did we see the quarry from the outside but they also brought us inside of the mountains which was breathtaking. After that, we were brought to the town called Coronata, where we had lunch and some wine. It was a lovely day and an experience I’ll never forget

Amazing Carrara Marble Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

A wonderful tour with Marco of the Carrara Quarry! This is a tour that should not be missed. We went on a rainy day but the site was still spectacular and very interesting. The tour finished at a hilltop village for a local lunch of bread, cheese, meats, lardo, vegetables and wine. Memorable!

Stunning

Published on Sep, 2024

The marble cave was absolutely stunning. It was really interesting to hear how the marble is cut out and removed and the care that is taken in making sure there are strong columns to support it. The lunch is Colonnata was great fun. The village is lovely.

A stone that makes you live.

I am a sculpture so for me it was like being in haven ( i am not a religious person). It was very beautiful and interesting from different point of views ( geographic , historical, etc ) for me and my wife. I am already planning to come back for the sculpting matters
