Great Tour - Our guide, Simon, and our driver, Ferdinand, were a great combination. We efficiently loaded the bus and began our tour a few minutes early. Simon was quite humorous and had many interesting details at the ready. Everything about this tour was great...the information, the organization, the beverages - yes, there was water, cold drinks, and prosecco available for purchase at one of the locations - the locations. We listened to some of the music on the bus and, of course, we sang along to a few of them.

Great tour of Salzburg! - Bus driver and tour guide were extremely kind and knowledgeable about the local sites! We were a little disappointed that the tour didn’t go to the mountain or the abbey but overall it was a great way to see the city!

Book today... 5 star experience! - LOVED our Sound of Music tour! We traveled with our kids (Ages 21 & 15). This tour delivered everything we'd hoped to see and more. Our tour guide Bridgette (spelling may be wrong) was lovely. We had several stops along the way for photo opportunities and our guide had a vast knowledge of the original family story as well as behind the scene filming details that were fascinating to learn. Our 21 year old daughter has loved the film since she was really young and it was magical for all of us to be in the places that were in the film. This would be a beautiful tour even if you weren't a huge fan of the film. The places we visited (including a quaint little village) we all just gorgeous. The drive was beautiful and you literally were surrounded by the hills that were alive with the Sound of Music. Absolute highlight of our time in Salzburg. Don't hesitate to book this, worth every cent!

Fun afternoon of Sound of Music sites - We had so much fun with our cute guide (I wish I could remember her name) who was very knowledgeable about Salzburg in general, but especially about the Sound of Music. We would recommend this tour to any Sound of Music fans!

A wonderful afternoon of music and stories! - Jun 2024 • Family This was my highlight from my trip to Graz and Salzburg! I was very emotional about seeing these beautiful settings and hearing extra details about the filming of "The Sound of Music". As a retired music teacher I have shared these classic songs with many students through the years. What a privilege and joy to experience Austria! I loved the singing of the passengers and our guide kylie was enthusiastic and attentive to the group! She made sure that everyone could get their photos! It was obvious she is a true fan! Her enthusiasm made the tour! Written 07/01/24

A great experience :) - Our guide was awesome. I enjoyed the views from the bus. The sites in the city were mostly drive by views but since we had an extra day we were able to see them on our own the following day (like the Abbey!). Mirabell gardens was amazing but to get the best photos (with less people around) just swing by the gardens in the morning before the tour. I enjoyed having a little free time in the town where the wedding church was. Overall a quickly paced tour but awesome!
