Review of Salzburg’s Sound of Music tour, with filming sites, Alpine scenery, Mondsee Cathedral, guide tips, value, and practical advice.
“This is the quintessential tour you simply must take when visiting Salzburg and you are a fan of the Sound of Music. We had such a great day and will take away a basket of memories and insights from the movie. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
Tour Salzburg’s Sound of Music film sites, sing along to the soundtrack, and explore Mondsee, Lake Fuschl, and the city’s landmarks.
“This tour was exactly all I hoped it would be. Fun, informative, relaxed, beautiful scenery and of course listening to the wonderful songs from the sound of music whilst driving to film locations and through the Alps to the Lake District. Our guide (David I think!) and driver Roland were excellent full of such knowledge and enthusiasm. Don’t hesitate to do it! We had a blast thank you.”

Ride from Salzburg to Hitler's Eagle's Nest for Alpine views, WWII history, a mountain elevator, and a short stop in Berchtesgaden.
“The tour was very good. It would have been nice to have an extra 30 minutes at each location. We did appreciate that the guide and driver did not make the group that was on time back to the bus wait longer than 10 to 15 minutes past the meeting time before leaving the two who were not on time. Everyone in the group agreed.”

Stretch strudel dough, make Salzburger Nockerl, and enjoy goulash in a small Salzburg cooking class with lunch included.
“The class was great, the chef met each table individually before we started which was nice, and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The strudel was great and the nockerl was, an experience! The kitchen is built into the rock wall around which makes it quite unique, but a great space!”

“Great location for a concert. The musicians were very talented & we especially enjoyed the pianist & lead violinist. The music was varied with Mozart, Strauss, a polka & a Slavonic piece. It was quite warm but we were seated closer to the open windows which helped a little. The negatives were that we were seated in the last row even though we paid for Category B & we were one of the first couples to arrive. I would have paid less & chosen the cheapest category had I known that we were going to be seated in the last row. We were also very irritated that we dressed up…”
