“We joined the two half-day tours in early June 2024. The tour at the Salt Mines was interesting, though we got trapped in the elevator for some time at the end of the guided tour :p For the "Original Sound of Music Tour", the tour guide was funny and informative, telling us stories about the making of the movie, leading us to sing the songs of the movie, etc. If you are a fan of the movie, you'll definitely love this tour. If you are not so familiar with the movie, better watch it again before joining the tour :p”

“Great day. Two different tours so you swap coaches and guides back in Salzburg. Guides very informative. Salt mine tour was fast paced and kept moving on. Would have maybe liked to be able to read the panels but We were a large group of 40 so mine guide had to keep us moving, but there was recorded info in all caverns.

Follow The Sound of Music from Salzburg to Mondsee, with film locations, Alpine lakes, sing-alongs, and Austrian schnitzel included.
“It was not sound of music tour at all. Not even sightseeing, rarely get off the bus. Majority pass by only with guide talking. Whenever passing by the point, guide was saying that you have to visit there on your own??? Couldn’t take pictures because the bus was going too fast. Meal was included but guide did not mention that there was time slot. Time was only given less than an hour and the restaurant was 20min. Away from the dropping point. We were lucky to notice the time slot and barely made on time. Meal supposed to be schnitzel, but it was weird turkey not even fried. I usually…”

“It was a fabulous 4 hours trip. Highly recommend it. David our tour guide is an Icon and very knowledgeable about the tour, film and overall surroundings. However DONT waist your time or money on the schnitzel and noodles tour, just go for the tour. Terrible quality, we were practically served a turkey burger with no bun, side was noodles in a cheese sauce. When I asked the waitress about the schnitzel she said that this dish is also called a schnitzel and chosen by the tour operator. We did send the food back and asked to return the voucher. I filed a complaint with the tour operator and waiting…”

Tour Salzburg’s Sound of Music sites with private access to Leopoldskron, Hellbrunn’s gazebo, Mondsee Cathedral, and Mirabell Gardens.
“This tour for our family was all that we expected it to be and more. Our tour guide, Peter, was amazing! He was friendly, professional, and knowledgable. He helped make our day a memorable one. The included breakfast at Schloss Leopoldskron was delicious. The private tour does cost more, but for a once-in-a-lifetime tour with our kids and their wives, this was most definitely the way to go. It's much better to see things up close and personal...not from across the lake, for example. We highly recommend this tour!!”
