Explore Bomarzo’s fantastical sculptures, Caprarola’s Renaissance palace, and cliff-top Calcata on a private day trip from Rome.

About this tour

Leave Rome behind for a day among Lazio’s striking historic landscapes. This private Lazio hidden gems tour brings together the fantastical sculptures of Bomarzo Monster Park, the Renaissance grandeur of Caprarola’s 16th-century Farnese Palace, and the cliff-top medieval village of Calcata. Orsini-Odescalchi Castle may be offered as an alternative to the palace.

Travel between stops in an air-conditioned vehicle, with hotel pickup and drop-off and bottled water included. Your entertaining driver shares explanations along the way and helps guide you through the day, though they do not accompany you inside the sites. Entry tickets, meals, and drinks are not included, so you can plan your visits and dining to suit your interests. The route offers a memorable mix of unusual art, architectural history, and scenic village views beyond the capital.

Discover Lazio’s hidden gems at your own pace and enjoy a refreshing change of scenery from Rome.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.64 from 14 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
