Private Hearst Castle Day Trip from San Francisco
Overview
Step back in time and explore the legendary Hearst Castle in California, a stunning hilltop estate with unmatched grandeur. Visit one of the property’s four magnificent mansions: La Casa Grande, Casa del Sol, Casa del Monte, or La Casa del Mar. With 165 rooms, 127 acres of lush gardens, and jaw-dropping pools and walkways, Hearst Castle is a masterpiece designed to showcase the media mogul’s extensive art collection and unique architectural vision.
On your private tour, experience Hearst’s incredible collection of ancient art, sculptures, and antiques—still one of the most impressive in the world. A knowledgeable state park guide will accompany you on a 1-hour guided walking tour, with options like the Grand Rooms Tour (perfect for first-time visitors) or the Upstairs Suites Tour (for those ready to explore even more of the estate).
Get ready to immerse yourself in history, luxury, and artistry with this unforgettable journey!
