A must do for Sound of Music fans and even if you are not!

5.00Must go! You will not be disappointed. I went with my 19 yo daughter. Lots of picturesque scenery, history and songs! Don’t forget the songs and the picture spots that are filmed in original movie with Julie Andrews. Lots of fun!
Five-star tour, challenging day

5.00This is undoubtedly a five-star tour. While I rated it five stars, the particular day we took it felt more like a four-star experience due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control. The weather was exceptionally hot, and Salzburg’s roads were heavily congested because of preparations for a local festival. As a result, there were moments when it was a little harder to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Those temporary challenges aside, I would absolutely recommend this tour. Learning the fascinating stories behind the locations, visiting the iconic filming sites, and enjoying the guide’s engaging and knowledgeable commentary made for a memorable and worthwhile experience. On a more typical day, I’m sure it would easily live up to its five-star reputation.
Fun family experience on the Sound of Music tour!

5.00We had a great time on the Sound of Music tour even though it was raining. It was the main purpose of our trip to Europe and we were not disappointed except that we were hoping there would be more singing on the bus. Very few were participating. Maybe if they had played the music louder more people would have been singing.
Wonderful Experience

5.00It’s a fantastic experience, wish we could have done a bit more singing on the bus. Our guide was great and had wonderful knowledge of all aspects of the film. When we got back to base I could have done it all over again! The whole trip left me feeling very happy.
Great tour!

5.00Tour was enjoyable and interesting thanks to Simon our guide, he certainly knew his stuff and kept us entertained for the duration, it is just a bus ride to the places in the film but we had a good sing along on the way not too rushed down it if you like the film
Amazing trip

5.00Absolutely amazing trip! Antonio was very funny and knowledgeable, gave so many interesting facts about the sound of music tour. Was worth the price we paid, as we seen so many things that were outside of the city and would be hard to get to unless you hired a car yourself or long public transport. The only thing that happened with us when we went was that there was 3 of us, and the bus was so full, I think they overbooked slightly. As there was 3 of us I had to move down the front on my own and my mother and sister were rows and rows behind me, so I couldn’t really experience the trip with them on the bus. Just bear this in mind if you go as a 3 as you will most probably be separated. It was gutting a bit for me as it was a 50th birthday present for my mam, and we all wanted the bus experience together with the singing and that. However, I would still recommend this trip.
Amazing and Wonderful!!!!

5.00It was amazing! Jose our tour guide was the best tour guide I have ever had, funny and witty. I learned many things about the story of the Sound of Music and the real Von Trapp’s story. My husband who just came along with me really enjoyed it and even sang along!
Wonderful tour.

5.00Not to be missed and definitely met our expectations, if not more. We had Stephanie as our Tour Guide. She was great. Had the most amazing singing voice, lots of fun and informative. The sights really took us back to our childhood! Would highly recommend if you're a Sound of Music fan.
