HEARST CASTLE EVENING TOURS
San Simeon District – On Friday, March 1, 2002 the Hearst Castle
Evening Tour program will begin a new season. Visitors to the castle will
be able to experience evening reflections from the 1930's heyday era.

On most Friday and Saturday evenings, from March through May Hearst Castle will feature the Living History Program that emphasizes the bygone lifestyle of this great estate. Docents in elegant vintage clothing will assume the personas of Mr. Hearst's guests, lounging by the magnificent Neptune Pool or playing cards in the Assembly Room. Other docents portray household staff attending to the needs of Mr. Hearst's guests.

The evening progresses through the Main House, Casa Grande, and includes highlights of the daytime Tours 1, 2, and 4. Completing this magical tour with a walk over blue and gold Venetian-glass tiles of the breathtaking indoor Roman Pool, visitors to Hearst Castle will leave with long lasting memories of bygone Nights at "The Enchanted Hill."

Visitors should allow two hours and ten minutes for this tour. Evening Tour prices are $20 for adults and $10 for youth ages 6-17.
