I have waited my whole life to do this tour and it was everything and more! The small tour was amazing as we got to go places the big buses can’t. Francesca our guide was amazing. She made it a special. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Amazing tour. Elvis was so knowledgeable & passionate about the Sound of Music. Loved having a small group as felt it was more personal. Would recommend this tour wholeheartedly 🙏
Our guide Edna(?) was fantastic! She gave so much back history to better understand the relationship between the movie "Sound of Music" and the real Von Trapp family. Highly recommended.
Elvis was an excellent guide and the whole trip exceeded expectations. Great gossip about film and information about real Von Trapp family. Comfortable transport and many informative stops. Highly recommend.
Elvis was very knowledgeable and funny!!! We had such a very good time!!! We seen all the important spots!!!
The entire experience was lovely. We had a small group of 18 people and traveled in a comfortable minibus. Had to walk in the old town area. Our guide Simon was knowledgeable and excellent and did a great job of taking us to all the filming locations. He also told us a lot of history of Salzburg and Austria . The tour took 4 hrs and the timing was just right. Included bathroom breaks too which were good and a little time to look round on our own. Highly recommend Simon and this tour. Simon even played the sound of music Songs in the Van. Just the right amount !
Fantastic tour. The guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and told us things we didn’t know about the real Von Trapp family and the makings of The Sound of Music. The coverage of the tour was quite comprehensive and the bus was very comfortable, with air-conditioning that was so good in the heat. Only improvement is to include a toilet stop before leaving Mondsee for Salzburg.
It’s such a great way to see Salzburg and the area around the city. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about not just the Sound of Music but the history of the Von Trapp family and how it relates to recent history. Definitely recommend.
Laura, our tour guide, made this special! She not only covered all the movie scene locations but also the behind-the-scenes stories and history. I highly recommend this tour while in Salzburg.
We had an excellent time. We liked being part of a smaller group of 8 and our guide was really good at giving us insights and fun facts throughout. Would recommend.
