Hearst Castle Tour 1 April 23, 2011

Tour One is recommended for first-time visitors as it provides a broad overview of the many facets of Hearst Castle and it has the least number of stairs. Tour duration is 1 hour and 45 minutes which includes the bus ride to and from the castle. Tour One now includes the companion movie "Hearst Castle - Building the Dream" shown on our giant 5 story screen in the Hearst Castle Theater. Tour One visits the ground floor of the main house, or Casa Grande. Five rooms on the ground floor are shown on this tour. Casa Del Sol is an 18-room guesthouse facing the majestic Pacific Coastline. On Tour One four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a sitting room are shown. All of the Hearst Castle tours are highlighted by stops at each of Hearst's two swimming pools. The Neptune Pool is a magnificent Greco-Roman style pool that features unparalleled coastline views from the hilltop. The Roman Pool is an indoor pool decorated from ceiling to floor with 1" square mosaic tiles. Tour One takes visitors to one of the most beautiful sections of the grounds, featuring marble sculptures and flowers in season.
