Nicola was our guide and he was wonderful! Very informative and patient with our unending questions. This was one of the highlights of our trip!
Nicola’s knowledge made making marble slabs so interesting . It is hard, dangerous work to excavate these mountains so it no surprise that these countertops are so expensive . We enjoyed our tour very much .
Real experience going into the underground excavations. Excellent driver and very informative experience.
