The tours are $25 and reservations are required in advance. They give tours on Wed and Sat, I believe, at 10 and 2. We took the tour at 10 on a Wed. It was a nice group. They are an AHS affiliate if you are a member. There is a book about the property for sale for about $58 I recall, if you are interested. You cannot take pictures inside. We went during Christmastime so the house was decorated. This tour is about architecture, it is not for little kids. There were some very respectful Jr. High and High School kids on our tour and they seemed to like it.

Hi Charles, THANK YOU! for asking the question that seems to perplex the most prospective visitors to Casa del Herrero. As Visitor & Volunteer Coordinator at CdH I found Trip Advisor's information about our hours a bit confusing - the site lists us as 'open' Monday thru Saturday, 9-5, but those are OFFICE HOURS ONLY. Actual TOURS require RESERVATIONS (taken over the phone, during Office Hours, above) and are available at 10:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m. Wednesdays & Saturdays. Tours comprise about 10 or 12 to a group for a 90-minute, Docent-led, interpretive walking tour of the estate. Self-guided tours aren't permitted. Does this information answer your question satisfactorily? Cordially, Susannah G. Visitor & Volunteer Coordinator
