Hey man, I think you deserve more visibility. I know more than 200.000 followers are a lot, but I repeat it again, you are "underrated". Your videos are beautiful, your editing is awesome. Plus you are the guy who goes around the world, not to act stupid, like many vloggers do, but to let people know the world and to show them how beautiful it is. I can see you enjoy your trips, because you show true interest in knowing all the different cultures around the world. The only thing concerns me, is the "flip over" stunt. Sometimes it can be very risky, especially when you do it next to the sea cliffs ... but it's your choice 😉 Keep posting videos like these man, keep up the great work your doing!!!

[@Kosalsom]

Thank for sharing nice video

[@luv2travel2000]

👑 🏰 💒 Great video! Would love to see the last castle in Germany. It's very famous and beautiful. What? No castles from France? The castles in the Loire Valley were lovely. What is nice is you can visit several in a day because many are located close to each other.

Wow, just looked it up and looks stunning, hope to visit this summer!

[@awesomereviews1561]

It’s actually Dordogne ( also known as Perigord) that has the highest amount.

I think Bojnice Castle is more beautifull than Spis Castle. You should make part 2 because there are more castles in France, Switzerland, Germany which are pretty nice.

[@bigredracingdog466]

Of the ones on your list I've toured Edinburgh, Hohensalzburg, Eltz, and Neuschwanstein. I've never considered Neuschwanstein a real castle. It's more of a palace built in the shape of a castle. Similar is Windsor Castle which started out as a castle and evolved over time into a palace. I'd also recommend Bodiam Castle in the SE of the UK. It's a semi-ruin, but many parts of the interior are still intact. My bucket list includes Caernarfon in Wales, Carcassonne in southern France, and Guédelon in central France.

[@channeltokyotown]

This is a very nice video

[@detlefbalbachviews6034]

[@danielfortier2629]

I'm surprised you have no French castles! Some of my favourites are Château de Chambord, Château de Chennonceau, Château de Fontainebleau and of course Château de Versailles. In England Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard are nice, along with Windsor Castle and Hampton Court.

[@RyanShirley]

Sounds like I need to make a part 2 :) Thanks for the suggestions!

[@TheBobPeyton]

Neither Blenheim PALACE nor Castle Howard are castles. They are stately homes built in the 18th century.

[@mimamo]

Many of these are not castles but palaces.

I love your shots of Neuschwanstein castle and the red conned ones as well... I love the choice of weather you choose to shoot these when you are there, nobody does it as professionally as you do. Keep up the good work! It's just like watching one of those professional shots done on every 4K UHD TV screens printed at Best Buy... I love your attitude as you express your enthusiasm of the places, because of the way your voice actually blends in with the vibrant colors of the each old city or castle videos you make while making your traveling videos. I hear a vaccine against the Coronavirus might be near. If this Pandemic ever dies down, the countries I highly recommend you visit are places like Vietnam, Thailand, Pacific Islands, Australia, and above all our one and favorite New Zealand.. Even recommend if there is a software that maybe you republish these like you just did in 4k UHD 3D. Ryan Shirley you can go home with your head held high it's a million yes's for me.

Castle and chateau: Frýdlant (Czech republic) The original medieval castle, extended in the 16th century to a Renaissance chateau, became the property of the famous Thirty Years War commander, Albrecht von Wallenstein in 1622, He turned it into the centre of his extensive Frýdlant duchy. The last noble owners were the Clam-Gallas, who opened the castle already in 1801 to the public; Frýdlant therefore became the oldest castle museum in Central Europe. Castle interiors can be seen (mementos from Albrecht von Wallenstein, the Knight’s Hall with portraits of the Gallas and Clam-Gallas owners, armoury, estate office, collection of historic pipes), as well as chateau interiors (state rooms, ladies’ and gentlemen’s rooms, children’s room, bathroom, kitchens). All the rooms are furnished with the original furniture, paintings, porcelain and other items. The Renaissance Chapel of St. Anne is also part of the tour. Occasionally the tours are enlivened by guides in costume, cake baking in the kitchens, concerts etc. Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kImcgJxnesx3Y6c
