LivTours’ Private Bomarzo & Orvieto Day Trip from Rome is an exciting day out of Rome and gives you the chance to see another side of Italy. On this private full day tour, you will visit the “Park of Monsters” located in Bomarzo. This gem just outside of Rome, has been described as a Renaissance-like DisneyLand. Mythological and fantastical sculptures fill the 16th century gardens and will leave you breathless. Bomarzo is a small town with a population of less than 2000 people, but is world renown due to its very special park, the Park of the Monsters. These slightly surrealistic sculptures are more fantasy-like than scary, creating an almost abstract atmosphere so uncommon in small Italian towns.

Nearby you will find the stunning town of Orvieto that has a rich Etruscan history with underground tunnels. This small town offers stunning Medieval architecture, something that Rome does not offer. Its amazing cathedral, the Duomo, is well worth the visit. Between towns, you will have a chance to enjoy a traditional Italian meal while enjoying the stunning lush countryside of Umbria. You will travel in luxury via a private chauffeured car and enjoy the comfort of a climate controlled ride throughout your day!
