Wonderful time on The Sound of Music Tour! Highly recommend! - We had an absolutely lovely morning with Eric - he was friendly and polite and really went out of his way to make sure we were having a great time and seeing all that we wanted to see. Hearing the stories and seeing all of the locations where the movie was filmed was wonderful - even though it did rain on us, that didn’t dampen our mood or the experience.

Go with Leo! - If at all possible, book a private tour with Leopold! He is friendly, accommodating and professional. It’s like we became “ family” by the end. Our granddaughter Lucy loved him!

Super fun tour! - We had a great time on our Sound of Music tour! Perfect amount of time and got to see some amazing sites. Our guide was super friendly and even played music from Sound of Music as we were heading to the next site. We had a private tour which made it very personal. Definitely worth booking if you are in the Salzburg area. We were in Vienna and took the train in and was picked up and dropped off at the train station in Salzburg. Super easy. There is also a good restaurant outside, but connected to the train station that we ate at after the tour while waiting for our train.

Great experience - Fun, engaging experience. Loved the private tour so we didn’t have to deal with big groups. Great tour guide. We added the apple strudel making part last minute and it was fantastic. Highly recommend both parts.

Once in a lifetime experience! - The Sound of Music Tour was top on our bucket list and Erik made it an exceptional experience. The behind the scene information, the drive and singing, along with Erik's knowledge of the true story of the Von Trapp family, made the trip a once in a lifetime treat! We certainly recommend this private tour with Erik for any Sound of Music enthusiasts headed to Salzburg.

Andrew’s extravaganza - Andrew was a splendid guide, very professional, clean, detail, orientated, polite, knowledgeable, engaged, helpful, and very accommodating. We had a family of five people with the full extravaganza sound of music tour, Was everything we needed to know plus I would highly recommend this tour to anybody that is obsessed with the sound of music and wants to know every detail in and out Andy is your man. He played music from the soundtrack as he navigated us through each detail of the filming making planning and even the drama that fell out post movie release. Thank you, Andrew bravo!!

Fun, factual and memorable. - Absolutely the best afternoon. Our guide Jose was so much fun, he gave us so much information and facts about the von Trapp family and the sites that we visited. Jose had the bus singing and joining in with his presentation. Very humurous while at the same time imformative. Would def recommend, one of the best tours I have ever been on.
