Although a little on the expensive side, this tour was a great way to see a number of interesting sites that are near Rome, but hard to get to by public transportation. The first early morning stop was at the late 16th century Mannerist gardens of Bomarzo, with its extraordinary collection sculptured monsters and follies. Then a stop at the Farnese Palace at Caprarola, a must-see for lovers of Renaissance art and architecture. Next was a quick but interesting stop at Sutri to see the rock-cut Roman Amphitheatre, Etruscan tombs, and paleo-Christian church. Lunch was at a good local restaurant at Trevignano sul Lago, a charming small lakeside village. Finally, a few hours exploring Calcata, a quintessential medieval hill-top fortress town, now inhabited by artsy types, colorful characters, and friendly cats.

Our driver Gilberto picked us up in the morning and took us to Bonarzo first. He was informative, funny and really nice. He told us from the beginning that it was our tour and he would do what we wanted. He took us to each tour spot - took us to the ticket booth and made sure we knew how to go around and where to meet up after. Whenever we wnatwd coffee, bathrooms or lunch he stopped and found place to accomodate us. It is not a cheap tour and it is as Gilberto said “Off the beaten path” but it was well worth it. A fantastic day with a wonderful guide!

We had a wonderful quiet day away from the crowds with Gilbert who took us to Calcata and a few more charming towns round Lake Bracciano. It was one of our best days in Italy being away from the crowds and tourist areas. He speaks great English and was very flexible and patient. He’s an excellent guide that lived in CA before and was very knowledgeable about the attractions, history and places to see.

The park is filled with bizarre and fascinating sculptures for which only the accompanying inscriptions provide any explanation. Among the pieces are a war elephant, a monstrous fishhead, a giant tearing another giant in half, and a house built on a tilt to disorient the viewer. When you visit the park, be sure to enter the giant screaming mouth (known as “the mouth of hell”), inside which, on the tongue, stands a picnic table and enough seating for a small group to have lunch. This place is incredible, you walk amount the statues and cannot believe how peaceful the park is. Take your time to visit the park.

It's called the park of the monsters, created by some crazy and genial Renaissance lord. A very unique place to be. And peaceful, in its own strange way!

Dopo tante volte che avevamo deciso di andare a visitare questo parco, alla fine ci siamo riusciti e unitamente a dei nostri amici abbiamo visitato questo curioso parco, con delle statue di vari artisti che negli anni si sono prodigati ognuno con la sua opera a decorare il percorso dell’intero parco. Vi sono opere che mi hanno veramente colpito altre un pochino meno, ma la visita la consiglio almeno una volta nella vita, forse l’unica nota stonata un prezzo forse un pochino alto, ma se serve per la manutenzione del parco e delle opere al suo interno, allora sono soldi ben spesi.

Pensavo fosse un parco solo per bambini e invece è stata una vera rivelazione. Le sculture sono bellissime soprattutto considerando che hanno quasi 500 anni! Il tutto all’interno di un parco bellissimo molto ben tenuto. Consigliate scarpe comode soprattutto se nei giorni prima ha piovuto. La casa obliqua è imperdibile anche se è difficile rimanere in piedi… Parcheggio gratuito.

In dit park kan je rustig genieten van de natuur, terwijl je wandelt komt men enige stenen sculpturen tegen die zeker mogen gezien worden.Het is eens iets anders.

Un bel parco,adatto per le famiglie con bambini,il percorso è tutto all' ombra quindi nel periodo caldo è ottimo per una bella passeggiata,lungo la quale si incontrano delle simpatiche sculture.

sognavo di andare in questo parco fin da piccola, finalmente l'estate scorsa ci sono andata:devo dire che sono rimasta un po' delusa: la mappa era disegnata male e spesso ci perdevamo o dovevamo ritornare sui nostri passi, fra le varie statue c'era molto spazio e per questo abbiamo dovuto camminare molto sotto il sole cocente. Per il resto è andato tutto molto bene e ho potuto approfondire le mie conoscenze sulla storia di questo parco e imparare molti aneddoti interessanti.
