We had a fantastic day out in Salzburg and saw so much. The trip to Montsee was so beautiful and the communal singing was very enjoyable. I could have sung more on the way home!!
Our experience was amazing! David and Alex were great hosts. David was the best tour guide we’ve had in Europe. He was loud enough (but not too loud) for the entire group to enjoy his stories and facts. They were flexible with the group but also kept us on a good schedule. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Salzburg and enjoy interesting facts about the Sound of Music!
I thoroughly enjoyed all four hours of this tour. Why? The docent makes the tour. In this case, we didn’t simply see Salzburg city sites and places associated with the making of the Sound of Music, nor did we simply see the glorious mountains and lakes east of Salzburg to Mondsee, our guide passionately spun numerous stories of the movie. I loved his sense of humor and apparently the tour did as well for there was much laughter and singing. Well done. And kudos to our driver for we had the afternoon slot and negotiating the city and country roads was no minor feat. All in all, the driving was top notch and I say this as the son of a professional driver. Kudos. To those reading this review, yes, this is a tour most appropriate for fans of the movie and actually enjoy singing along (we didn’t simply four songs and heard a few more). If you want strict Salzburg history, read the title of the tour and browse some more: we needed this light and fun tour after numerous days of excellent but often sobering museums. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

This tour was everything advertised. Words can’t describe the beauty of the town. My family and I had some trouble getting from Vienna to Salzburg in time for the tour and arrived frazzled but the jovial nature of our guides and driver reset the tone and we had the absolute best time. The weather was lovely for our day out. There were snacks and beverages available to buy just as peckishness might have begun to distract us. We loved hearing all the behind the scenes nuggets about the film and what can beat singing those famous tunes with strangers who love the film as much as we do..

A fantastic tour! We had so much fun singing to all of the songs as we drove through the mountains to Mondsee. Peter was a fun guide and Alex was a great driver. It was interesting to hear about the sites and we loved that we got to go to Mondsee, which we fell in love with. This is definitely one of our highlights of our trip to Austria.
