Classic FM were given exclusive access to André Rieu's epic castle in Maastricht, where the great man was on hand to show us around personally.
Classic FM's Bill Overton was lucky enough to enjoy André's hospitality, and followed the King of the Waltz around his incredible 15th century castle.
In these fantastic videos, you can join André as he shows Bill around the various dining rooms, gardens, kitchen and even André's sweltering greenhouse, complete with koi and exotic birds.
