    Great tour with Raffaele as our tour guide. The tour of the marble caves was really interesting and then we visited Colonnata. This is a beautiful mountain village and Raffaele advised were to go to lunch and it was beautiful. It was a really good tour and on the day we went it was just my husband and I. Raffaele imparted so much information and made the day really memorable.

    We had a lovely family tour today with Raphaeli. He collected us with a smile this morning from our hotel. His knowledge of all areas that we drove through was fantastic and his enthusiasm for all places was clear. He made us all feel at ease and it was a lovely chilled out trip. During our trip inside the Carrara mountain he spoke to all the staff like friends and he recommended good picture spots for us. We also visited Colonnata where we had a tasty lunch and he recommended the local meat which was fab. Thanks again for a fantastic day!!

    We had an incredible day with Tommaso as our tour guide to Carrara's query. It was the perfect blend of adventure, history, and local experience. With an on-time pick up in a beautiful and extremely clean van, Tommaso was an excellent driver who was intentional about getting to know each of us on the tour. The views on the way to the mountain were amazing, and the inside of the Carrara mountain was a once-in-a-lifetime experience you do not want to miss out on. OF COURSE, this quest is not complete without fresh food. Tommaso brought us to a very local lunch spot in Colonnata, which is famous for lardo! Wonderful conversation over lunch with the freshest foods and great wine! Tommaso ensures that your tour is personal and authentically Italian. If you visit Italy, you MUST book with the best tour service and friend in Lucca!!
