Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

    We had a great time visiting the Carrara quarries! The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the history of mining industry in that area was very interesting to learn about. Our guide was very knowledgeable (if a little bit rough). Very glad we did this tour

    My husband and I took a private tour to Cinque Terre with Luca and had a most fantastic day with him. He shared history, culture, and took great care of us throughout the day. I would highly recommend any tour with Luca. We had wonderful conversations with him on the drive to/from Cinque Terre.

    Just an amazing experience to see the open pit quarry and to enter into the mountain to see how the process works for the cave mine.

    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!

    Heike, our tour guide, was fabulous! She was full of wonderful insights and information about the industry and processes . We really were not prepared for such a great experience. Plus, the ride up to the mine was thrilling ( not for height averse people). Do not miss this!

    Gianni was a terrific tour guide and the bus driver was so great as well! He provided guests with some great facts and geography lessons, along with giving us time to walk around and explore on our own. We unfortunately experienced a tire blowout on the bus which caused us to be stuck on the highway for a bit. Gianni and the bus driver made some calls and were able to get us on another bus thank the Lord! Gianni notified our cruise ship on what had happened as we were a larger group of 54 (I think) and ensured that we would be able to get back on the ship. Gianni and the bus driver handled the situation extremely efficiently and professionally despite these unforeseen circumstances 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Florence and Pisa!!

    The Carrara Mines were fascinating. We weren't thrilled with any of the shore excursions offered by the cruise line, so this one was a good alternative. Very little glitz and glamour, but an up close look at a working marble mine.

    Walter was very congenial and informative about local history as well as the quarries. Through him we learned about the marble and met working artisans. It was an amazing experience to walk into the cave! The day was well worth the time and cost.

    Our driver/guide was AMAZING! He showed us different places and explained to us about their history. He was patient, very friendly and punctual. It was our first time visiting Pisa and Florence and we fell in love with the architecture and vibe. We can’t wait to come back!

    Unbelievable day with Gianmaria! Six of us toured Cinque Terre in a private minivan It was like traveling with a friend. Gian was very knowledgeable as well as accommodating and always professional. His recommendations were great! He took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. We were back at the ship on time we would definitely tour with him again. You will not be sorry!

    This trip exceeded our expectations we gave our tour guide Silvia a general idea of what we would like to do and she customized a tour for us. She limited the amount of walking as we requested. We have a mixture of new experiences since shopping a nice lunch a little village near the quarry. She stopped to let us take photos when requested And answered all our questions about ye area. Going underneath the mountain to the marble quarry was definitely an experience not to miss.
