Fantastic Carrara tour

The excursion is fantastic and I highly recommend it. It is truly mind boggling and amazing. And includes a white knuckle drive with hairpin turns - and sometimes going down them in reverse. You will never look at marble the same way.
My only feedback is that the owner is rude, sexist and condescending. But I would still highly recommend the tour.
Worth it if you're into geology. Skip it if you don't like roughing it.

Very interesting tour. A small convoy of 4-wheel drive jeeps will take you up winding and steep inclines until you reach points of interest. The tour guides were very informative and patient with passengers. We recommend to plan to arrive 30 minutes early to take into account travel delays in the area of the mountain (we were stuck at a tunnel for 35 minutes). We also do not recommend this tour for people with bad backs or heart problems as your ride in the back of a covered jeep is very bumpy and not very comfortable. May also want to think twice if you are easily carsick. We managed well (women aged 60-80) but there were a few others who were uncomfortable.
Vertiginous tour of the marble caves from bottom to top

First of all, I contacted the website several times about the station pick-up by calling, but nobody answers me. Later, I contacted the tour group by mail. They responded that the transfer required 15 euros per person and asked us to wait at the station at 1:30. I responded to the email said we can go to mountain meeting point by ourselves , and no one answered the email. I didn't receive the email so in the morning I re-sent it to make sure they knew. After we arrived at the station, we didn't see anyone at 1.30, so we took a taxi to the meeting point on the mountain by ourselves, but no one was found at all. In the period, no one called me or received any emails. Finally I contacting the tour group in 2:15, they informed me that they cancelled because they did not see us. We were very angry. The three of us made a special trip from Florence and now we just want to return to fund.(from booking until we arrive,nobody call us , I even ask for call back before three days, but still no one contact us.)

The ride up the mountain on hairpin turns in a rattling old Jeep was worth the price of admission alone!! Better than any exhibition ride!! But I f you are afraid of heights, this isn’t for you!
The information provided was also very interesting. It made me understand and appreciate the works of the Various Italian sculptors much better.
And it made me really appreciate the beauty of the Carrara marble in my home!
One of my most favourite your of all!!

Très intéressant, mais à faire avec une autre entreprise/carrière que celle proposée
JEANPAUL_I

Nous avons été très déçus. Difficulté à trouver le site qui était mal signalé. Accueil déplorable, limite insultant. Le dirigeant de la carrière nous a clairement dit qu'il aurait préféré être chez lui plutôt qu'à nous faire visiter un dimanche matin sous la pluie! Les commentaires techniques étaient par contre intéressants, mais pas de prise en compte des questions et aucune écoute. A aucun moment la dégustation de lard n'a été évoquée et proposée, alors que prévu, noté et payé sur le voucher. Nous vous conseillons une autre entreprise/carrière pour cette visite intéressante.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it 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. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
