guided tour really looking forward to it it's not too busy today it's a monday let's go on in let's
go here we are at the entrance to the biltmore estate welcome to biltmore thank you thank you so
much thank you very much guys i mean it's already a very grand entrance isn't it it's quite a long
driveway yeah we're we're in this hire car which makes us look so extra i wonder what
the biltmore family would have thought about someone rocking up in a red jeep is not like a
classy classic car is it i don't think it's very luxurious i think it's like we're just
like i don't don't mind us country bumpkins no i don't even know i don't know what they're not
off-roader or radar i don't know what do we stop and oh i have tickets on my phone on apple pay
so if you just hover those oh no that's a train ticket those two and just let them scan those
too see what they say hang on how do you even open windows hello can we go straight through yes
great thank you thanks who's bibing huh sorry sir people love to beep don't they yeah maybe bid back
no no no i don't want to incite road rage they've got guns in this country joel these sorts of trees
that make me go oh really yeah this just sends me on edge like the way the ones that are just
fallen through bad weather and they've just gone in oh my gosh another jeep wrangler driver waved
at me and i went no i missed it i missed it it's like minis everyone in minnie's goes
dude that's so funny so funny when people think they're part of a club just because the car they
own that's hilarious i've never had that with my kia really no one in clear community is not strong
guys why can't one of us start going like that to each other yeah i think the jeep wrangler
community is clearly very strong if we did they have a red one as well no theirs was a
boring black one actually if i went for one i'd go for a black one because i love black cars but
wait what's that black color that you want as well exactly black brand no black ranger sport yeah
or evoke however you say evoke definitely evoke evokes happiness it folks fun anyway back to the
build more not cars here we are this is what the driveway looks like it's so extra how do you feel
through 8 000 acres now that will take forever oh my gosh it really will i'm gonna have to get some
air in here joel these acres are just sending me right we're not going down there apparently
there's like a white trolley tour of the actual building where it's shut off i think we're gonna
end up getting to the admission gate perhaps i'll show the tickets i can't believe how long the
entrance is oh here we go here's a a gentleman that's probably gonna check us out right if he
doesn't do bag check and find all the cameras not that there's many i think i'm holding it hello
hi there got this one you're all set cool thank you it's just straight ahead or you'll go straight
to the west yep just follow signs for parking straight shot good until 8 30 tonight so you
can leave it explore as much as you want oh 8 30. that's good i thought it was 5. you can get until
10 30. okay we don't have one but we'll make one we'll find one thank you thank you we don't have
a dinner reservation but it is a monday mind you when i went to book these tickets like
every slot for the house tour was like taken apart from these afternoon ones because everyone
wants to get it done early anyway that was easy enough that was easy we're in look at this forest
we're about to go over a little bridge oh how quaint look at this i feel like i'm in wonderland
yeah this makes me imagine like those big redwood forests in um california that i want to go to yeah
trendy little motorway ahead above just seen actually we're actually on traffic up the driveway
could you believe that i suppose we have had a really nice long stretch of road just us that
there's no one now we're behind like a tractor over there so we were saying like imagine if
you forgot something when you were leaving the house and you had this massive driveway
oh it's moving it's moving i think that is the park and ride we're we're heading to
the park and walk because i think it i think online i read it it's like a 10 minute walk
but that is the trolley if you end up doing park and ride which is quite fancy it does look very um
bougie this way thank you mister oh he's oh thank you americans just love to stop the
chat don't they and he's literally like don't stop just go through and everyone stops and
like as a little chat that's lovely you won't get chatting from us brits don't you worry
here we go our first sighting of the biltmore are you impressed because leah behind the
scenes saw a photo of it on a magnet and when is that here not that impressive
it wasn't a good pick was it in a tourist shop and i went that's not it is it and he
went yeah i mean i don't i don't think it looks that impressive in the in the flesh better way
about buildings in the concrete in the concrete it's amazing it looks great in the bricks
yeah with all these trees and it wasn't even eight minutes it said eight minutes
but i reckon be about another two minutes that way it was about three minute british pace yeah
three minutes yeah right so here's the courtyard market i've got the bake shop you've got a marker
got a dairy bar what are we in the mood for savory and then sweet so bake shop off it looks
like it's gonna be sandwiched vibes doesn't it it does i know there's restaurants i know
there's restaurants here as well oh and there's a stable cafe oh we could have to look there
yeah there's also restaurants because when we were driving in the mountain restaurant reservation for
this evening yeah which we don't but we can always try and we'll find one yeah we will all right guys
we've just picked up some goods from the market market courtyard market so we've got these grain
bowls here look very nice and nutritious got the hummus and pitta hilarious bitter it's just bags
i know that's so funny we thought it'd be like these but no complaints and then we've got um
champagne punch which he called sangria when he brought him yeah and then he corrected himself
he was like sorry it's champagne yeah we're like fine nice and that's got a nice built more bottle
of water here which i'll definitely be keeping for the airplane ride back so that oh wait you
can't take things like might be able to take an empty water bottle back and use that at the gym
it's like a mimosa really how lovely yeah that's nice is it yeah it's lovely it's most recent yeah
what do they call it champagne punch i like that yeah mimosa bucks fizz if it's the uk or champagne
punch if you're in the building right we've got our champagne punch and we're going to go sit in
the sun because it was getting a bit chilly there on that table really chilly what a lovely view to
drink our champagne opposite the biltmore so nice we were going to bring the food here but then i'd
talk strolling to get the table just because i was like oh it's gonna be really fiddly on the grass
we're gonna do a picnic oh wow oh well never mind next time stunning look at the biltmore
mugs lovely lovely definitely um the first time we've been in a gift shop before the end of flight
before yeah before actually going inside the house yeah oh yeah it's really matching up survivor
house really nice i think your bag is open by the way they've even got a year-round christmas shop
how cool built more stocking i have to feel that i actually feel what it feels like it
will be christmas soon to be fair before we know it summer will be over it'll be time for christmas
yeah
i bet it's amazing see if we just met joel just met scott who works here gave us our
audio guides and he's a legend he watches so awesome i love that water greeting yeah
he was like the legends are here as we walked into biltmore house we were like
as a friend i was like joel walk into built one be like home at last and then we did
a moment later scott was like that was so lovely yeah that was lovely look at this sort
of like initial conservatory vibe did we learn on our asheville tour about these sorts of roots
these have supports the ones on the roof have no wooden or
metal support good memory thank you right onwards oh yeah let's listen to our guide number one okay
all right we've just been in scene where george and edith used to entertain in there
looks like a dancing some some lovely evenings six seven glasses six or seven courses and that
was the evening's entertainment because of course they didn't have tv or youtube no two hours nice
dinner have your mates over grab a little gossip but they loved it now to the breakfast room
bye
this house is actually really big and you get a lot on the tour i feel like in british country
homes they let you in three or four rooms or one portion of the house but this is literally third
really enjoying it so far so many good bits
i'm in mr vanderbilt's bedroom and i think his bed is quite small
do you not think that bed is quite small they said on the audio that
it's big it's just the room is this hell i think that's no bigger than a double
by the foundations of the house we're in the tunnel
this is just so advanced apparently these foundations are 29 feet deep and 14 foot wide
i know where's the prosecco someone that's unbelievable isn't that ridiculous can
you believe that you know you don't need to leave the house for anything
you've got about 25 living rooms 33 bedrooms i'm probably getting it all wrong ridiculous
swimming pool and indoor swimming pool wow so cool they even have a gym
wow hey jim this is incredible
oh my gosh oh my gosh wow that's so cool
i can't believe it is that a rowing machine
oh that was amazing that was really really good and huge shout out to scott who was absolutely
amazing such a good legend of ours and also a guide yeah super informative he's brilliant he
was so it was just so lovely to meet him and chat to him and yeah get some extra information yeah
knowledge inside knowledge inside knowledge it was awesome so it was a really really lovely day
super interesting and joel and i were saying as we were going around like the tour just
goes on and on like you know you get to see a lot more than what you think you would
i don't think i've ever seen that much of a house on a tour before like you saw so much i remember
when we went to blenheim and it was just like one little quarter of the house 30 minutes and you're
done yeah in and out but that we we've been there for hours but i want to know if the family still
live there because i think that's why you can't really look around much of like blenheim palace
for example or other palaces because there's still people that live there but yeah i don't
know i think i think it's empty but you guys let us know in the comments yeah let us know sorry
if this video was mainly like b-roll and like scenery and music but i'm quiet in the house
yeah i couldn't really like chat over everybody so most of it will be aesthetic but hopefully
you'll enjoy it anyway yeah i hope so yeah she's not sure i can't make my mind up about the weather
