Erik was as good of a tour guide for a private Sound of Music tour that you could ever have. Fantastic experience and Erik’s mixing in of the real story and the Hollywood story was perfect. Highly highly recommend Erik and this tour!

The guide was very pleasant BUT.... the tour would benefit from having screenshots from the film of the various locations - either printed out or on an i-pad. The guide seemingly expected us to have a photographic memory of each scene in the film. We were disappointed that the guide didn't take us to the various places in the Mirabell Gardens used in the film (other than to the steps). Apparently it was too busy at the start of the tour with the market and too wet at the end of the tour to include this and we were advised to go back later. The advertised itinerary omitted the need of the driver to divert to buying strawberries and having to drive to the hotel of his clients from the morning to return lost property. All in all quite disappointing.
Johanes was a superstar!

Johanes was a wonderful and very informative guide. It was refreshing to have a native of Salzburg providing the tour. He was very conscientious of our wants, needs and time. He was very knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time with him.
Excellent private tour

The tour was just lovely. Richard was knowledgeable and thoughtful. He knew a great deal about the background to the film and other interesting things about Salzburg. On an extremely cold day, it was wonderful to be whisked around in a warm comfortable car. The only annoying part was that there was nothing on line to tell us what to expect on the tour.

My guide had a wonderful knowledge of the history of Salzburg. I was taken to all the important sites for The Sound of Music and Mozart. I saw the important historical sites of Salzburg and learned of the different ages of Salzburg’s architecture. It was a very impressive tour.

This private tour is a fantastic way to see Salzburg’s highlights while learning both local history and Sound of Music trivia. Having a knowledgeable guide like Peter made it feel personal and relaxed for our small group of three. Be mindful of sunset timing—booking earlier in the day is best so you can fully enjoy the views before it gets dark.
This was a great tour....

This was a great tour. The tour guide showed us all the sound of music hotspots which took us through most of the town of Salzburg. He had great information and this oriented us to the city so we were ready to explore on our own the next couple days.
Thanks, Leo, for showing us our Favorite Things!

You can’t help but smile around Leo. From the moment we met him, we felt at ease. He has so much knowledge about Salzburg and the production of the Sound of Music. His tour was everything we hoped and more!
