Description

2 passes to the Grand Rooms Tour of Hearst Castle, newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst's magnificent retreat in San Simeon, California


Grand Rooms Tour description: Every evening, W. R. Hearst’s guests gathered in the grand social rooms on the ground floor of Casa Grande, his formal name for the main house. Follow in their footsteps as you travel back in time and experience what it was like to be an honored guest at the stately Hearst Castle, known then as “The Enchanted Hill.”  Recommended for first-time visitors, this tour has the fewest stairs to climb of all the castle tours. The tour includes a screening of the film Hearst Castle, Building the Dream, about the castle's design and construction.


Do the math (or ask Keith or Fred to do it for you): You've heard about the 1%, but here's your chance to see how the 1% of the 1% lived back in the day. Hearst Castle is one of California's greatest landmarks and a definite bucket-list item.
