Marble Caves Tour is a private small group tour exploring the beautiful Carrara region of Tuscany, known as the world capital of marble mining and production.
The site was the source of marble for a number of world-renowned Medieval and Renaissance-era works of art, including a number of sculptures by Michelangelo.
Tours explore the heart of the region's quarries, located within the Apuan Alps, which process tens of millions of tons of marble per year.
The history of miners in the region is detailed as part of tours, along with an explanation of a number of modern marble mining techniques, including diamond wire and cutting marble blades. Tours last approximately five hours and include lunch at a local restaurant.
