The best trip in Salzburg! - What an amazing time we had here on our Sound of Music tour. The tour guide Kadien really made our trip that little bit more special, great sense of humour and knowledge. You get to visit a great range of places, and see some amazing sites along the way. We loved it and this tour really was the pinnacle of our trip to Salzburg. The bus driver Haki was also great. Thank you, we highly recommend!

A must do tour sounds of music lover or not - Absolutely brilliant Sound of Music tour -half day.
The coach was immaculate. Haki the driver & Kaydien tour guide were both very personable & professional.
The amount of back stories told about the film was amazing.
Normally we are not great singalong people but felt there was no pressure to join in and the singing wasn't too much just bits at the right time.
We mainly booked to see more of the area outside Salzburg.
The Lake district area is so beautiful also 45 minutes stop at beautiful Mondsee.
We can not recommend this tour enough whether you are a Sound of music fan or not .

These are a few of my favorite things... - This was a must! I'm so glad my mom and I got to take this trip and hop on the Sound of Music bus! It was so special - for anyone who has had sappy memories of the film and their childhood, this just adds to it. Let go of any inhibitions you have of singing or being cheesy, just embrace it - you'll be on a bus full of equally sappy fans, so just enjoy the mush and spend a few hours soaking in the beautiful scenery, the fun facts, the enthusiasm, and the nostalgia. April, you're awesome!

A must do in Salzburg for Sound of Music fans - Such an interesting tour! David was a fantastic tour guide (and not just because of his excellent singing!) but by the way he seemlessly delivered all the information in a way you pay full attention to and are able to take in properly. The time flies by and even with bad weather it just doesn't matter as you are constantly moving on to the next site. I would definitely recommend as they have thought of everything - snacks and beverages on the bus, the right places to stop and for toilet breaks, and just the route overall - very well timed out. Even my 6 year old daughter on the tour thought the time flew by! The experience made me rewatch the film on return home just to spot all the secrets we learnt ;) Thank you and all the best for the big upcoming SofM 'birthday' celebrations.

Such a great tour. While... - Such a great tour. While the daylight was short and many shops closed post holiday, our tour guide did an exceptional job entertaining the group and educating us on the many things we did not know about the musical. Warm up your vocal cords. Lots of singing on the bus ride. A wonderful experience and must do for everyone who is a Sound of Music fan!

A Fab way to spend a Sunday morning - On a damp cold wet Sunday morning what better way to spend it by going on the original Sound of Music Tour of Salzburg. Kylie made sure we yodelled all the way and has enough energy to brighten the dullest of days
She gave context to all the locations in relation to the film and reality. The recreation of 16 going on 17 on the bus was something to behold. The bus driver joined in the jollity which made it a very happy tour we saw the pavilion,abbey, house front and back as there are two different locations for the house. The lake was absolutely frozen
We had a stop in Monsee to see the church and also some excellent apple strudel
An excellent tour I would recommend for any who has seen the film particularly in its 60th year. Only now to return in the summer to see the city with flowers and the monuments unwrapped
