Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Hearst Castle
Even if you have visited the magnificent 165-room estate known as Hearst Castle, you most likely have not had the opportunity to go behind the scenes with the Museum Director, Hoyt Fields. He has been a member of Hearst Castle's staff for more than 30 years, and his wealth of knowledge about the castle is amazing. He promises many "surprises" for tour participants. A gourmet box lunch from Omni catering will be served on arrival at the Hearst Castle Visitor Center.
