PLEASE NEVER LOSE THIS NARRATOR EVER WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH
-
This narrator is the gold standard on YouTube.

"Truth is not only stranger than fiction, it is more interesting." - William Randolph Hearst

Have been to the castle many times. My mother loved it. My favourite part were the tapestries. Their size and beauty blew me away as a child.
-
I love that he revved up the Spanish American War then named his castle in Spanish.
-
I've been to this place. you need an more than an entire day to really appreciate the whole place. It's really grand but not a "home"
-
Not sure if you’ve already done it, but Patty Hearst deserves an episode of her own.

In 2023 I took 6 different tours of Hearst Castle. The place in unimaginably packed with antiquities and the ceilings in each room are different and incredibly intricate. Both the Roman and Neptune pools are sights to behold. If you're someone with an 'eye for detail' then you'll love visiting. From the kitchen to the bathrooms, everything is amazing. Also, don't forget there's three guest houses that are located in front of the castle
-
One of the best narrator's, he's so funny and shows his smartness!
-
Having been there many, many times, it is truly spectacular, everyone should visit. And yes, GREAT narrator!
-
Inherited 11 Million in 1919.... Damn.

Here’s the Voice , thanks for keep him on !!😊👍🏼

I've been there twice... and as a CA resident I expect I'll go again.... It may be a monument to excess but it is spectacular.
-
I would've been disappointed if he didn't quipped that "oh my!" after listing all the animals. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Narrator for the win!
-
idk if it's that his quips are spontaneous or if hes just working with the writers long enough that they work well together, but this narrator has the best delivery of those little quips and jokes after the facts, perfectly dry

I've been there twice. Same feeling both times I desperately wanted to swim in the same pool that Johnny Wisemiller or Tarzan swam in.They will tell you how Johnny, who was an Olympic swimmer gave his great Tarzan yodel from a nearby roof and jumped in. Its hot and dry there in the summer and you just ache to plop into that pool its massive. I wasn't aware of all the other structures. I think our tour is restricted. Its really fun to see and he reconstructed a hearth from a French castle. I would be wary of camping out with tigers they might get out and wander. One really cool thing is I was allowed to just sit by the pool as long as I wanted. When I came when I was little I remember being managed and velvet ropes. But now you can sit around if you want outside only. I imagined Cary Grant working on his fabulous tan. One day maybe when I'm really old I'm jumping in that damn pool.

He sounds like a real piece of work. Just like most of the mega-rich.

Scottys castle in Death Valley was quite the party place. Extremely interesting history and is beautiful
-
I toured the castle with my parents when I was a child. Don't remember too much about it except for an indoor fountain that flowed over some brightly colored tiles. Beautiful effect! Also remember seeing the remaining parts of the zoo.
