Reviews for Carrara Marble Quarry Tour With Food Tasting
Top tour in Italy - Friendly, Knowledgable, Fun!

If you only have time to take one tour on your vacation, this is the one you should take! Being on a tour with Nicola was like taking a tour from a local friend. He is extremely nice, professional, but most of all knowledgeable. Since the tour was so intimate, it gave us the opportunity to ask tons of questions, to which he had an answer for every one. I would absolutely recommend this tour to all of my friends and family visiting Italy.
Fascinating marble tour
