What a great place to go. There is so much to see and this year they opened up the grounds so you are able to walk around on your own. There is no time limits that you have to follow. We only did the main floor tour but saw a lot. More

Such a gorgeous place. This is our 2nd. time visiting the castle. Really enjoyed this year's tour as you can spend as much time as you like roaming around the outside gardens & pool area after you have completed the tour with the tour guide.

This place far exceeded our expectations. It was so beautiful it took my breath away! We had a picture perfect day, sunny but cool enough to walk around without getting hot. The actual tour was nice enough, but the best part was walking the grounds. All the flowers were blooming and it was just beautiful. Lounging down at the Neptune... More

I am happy to have experienced Hearst Castle. If you have time during your trip to Big Sur or drive up the California Coast, do check it out! More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the two hour Evening Tour at Hearst Castle. It is a seasonal tour and at dusk (7:30 PDT) it was beautiful. Of course the tour was great and guide very informative. There are over 300 steps and 3/4 miles of walking. See website for tour details. We paid $36 each. More
