Private Hearst Castle Day Trip from San Francisco
Overview
Discover majestic Hearst Castle in California, and visit one of the property’s four mansions: La Casa Grande, Casa del sol, Casa Del Monte, and La Casa del Mar. The castle is home to 165 rooms and 127 acres of lush gardens, beautiful terraces, amazing pools and walkways - all built to Hearst’s specifications to showcase his legendary art collection and eclectic architectural tastes. Join us and explore Hearst’s personal collection of ancient art, sculptures, furniture and relics.
