  "This is not your grandmothers tour!"
  "We really enjoyed our 4x4 tour of the Carrara marble quarries. This is the real deal. Gabriele is very knowledgeable and passionate. We went right into the working quarries and saw the amazing work close up. This is not the Disneyland tourbus version. Be prepared for a steep 4x4 drive into the heart..." of the marble mountains. Thanks Gabriele for an amazing day, and also for assisting to get our car fixed. " More >

  "Thrilling"
  "Just looked at our photos again - this private tour is worth every cent.

And you learn how the marbl..."e is quarried while watching actually happen. " More >
