About this activity

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 :)
