The scenery was beautiful but the bus driver & the tour guide were great. They informed us very well of the things we visited and they kept us laughing most of the time. I lost my phone and they went above and beyond to help me locate it. We highly recommend this tour.

This Sound of Music tour in Salzburg was absolutely amazing! We had such a great time from beginning to end. The pace was just right — not rushed at all, but never boring — and we got to enjoy every location without feeling stressed. Our guide, Antonio, was the best! Super friendly, funny, and made everything feel so fun and relaxed. The bus was really comfy and super clean. And the best part? They played all the songs from the movie and we got to sing along — it felt like we were in our own little musical! Truly a magical experience for any Sound of Music fan. Totally recommend it!

Great educational tour with a great guide. The places visited were interesting and brought back great memories. The bus was very comfortable and the little singing tour was fun. We had a young opera singer on board. Oh la la! A marvel to hear. In conclusion, The Sound of Music tour is a must on any visit to Salzburg. I highly recommend it, or you'll regret it 😉

It was a wonderful tour with a humorous, knowledgeable tour guide. He knew so many details about the filming of the movie, plus gave us alot of history about the city of Salzburg itself and other sites to see. He also led us in singing many of the songs from the movie. Even though it rained on the day of the tour, we had a wonderful time.
