Jose was our guide and Fernando was our driver. They both did an awesome job. Jose was very knowledgeable about the sound of music history and he takes his job very seriously to make sure that his customers are 100% satisfied with their experience. He's very passionate about the sound of music you can tell when he's describing everything better than we would've thought the tour itself hits a lot of the highlighted spots where the filming occurred and Fernando was a safe driver five out of five thank you very much for the experience

A fantastic tour, with an unbeatable Australian guide and an enthusiastic driver: Kylie and Ivo. It was as if Maria herself were on board. Kylie just embodies *The Sound of Music* and brought the whole experience completely to life. For an entire afternoon, we felt like we were right in the middle of the movie. The scenery was breathtaking, and it was special to finally visit the iconic locations we’ve known from the screen for years. The night before, we’d watched the movie again in our apartment because our son had never seen it. That made everything even more recognizable and special. Kylie spoke with such enthusiasm and passion that you were completely drawn into the story. Everything she showed us was instantly recognizable from the movie and really added to the experience. If you love The Sound of Music—or just want to discover some of Salzburg’s most beautiful spots—then this tour is an absolute must. We recommend it 100%. We’ll definitely do this again someday! Thanks, Kylie and Ivo!!

The guide on our tour, a lively Austrailian, provided a wonderfully enjoyabble and educational experience. The tour ran very well to time without feeling rushed, there was enough time spent as a group at key sights as well as time the opportunity to explore on your own. The tour shared information on Salzburgs history alongside that of the film and the Von Trapp Family. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I would recommend to all.

The tour was extremely well organised and the information given by our guide, Dave I think his name was (9.15am on 12th May...2nd coach...was really informative and delivered in such an experienced, professional and fun way. It was an absolute joy. We've made some new friends who we are now in communication with. The tour is a MUST for fans of the film.
