We signed up for the walking tour....great hike over to the lighthouse with a great ocean view! Visiting the lighthouse and the grounds were fun too! Very informative, fun to crawl around in the lighthouse and they have a great swing!

It took 28 years to complete William Randolph Hearst's lavish estate, which includes 165 rooms on 125 acres.

I totally recommend this tour as it provides a stunning glimpse into the private luxury of Hearst in a much more intimate detail than what is evident on the Grand Rooms tour. Wanted to go to the kitchen tour but it was sold out. Maybe next time.

After several visits to Cambria and attempts to find someone at Nitt Witt Ridge we finally drove by on this visit and saw a group of people touring the house. I waited at the gate until they came down and was informed by the owner Michael that he would be glad to take our group on a tour as soon as this one ended. The donation of ten dollars is well worth the very interesting walk around the unique property built into a hillside a few blocks off main street. You'll never see anything else quite like Nitt Witt or the story of how it came to be. Michael was an awesome guide and did a wonderful job of story telling, you could tell he enjoyed sharing his property. I HIGHLY recommend this attraction.
