Absolutely delivered on one of the best experiences of our entire trip!!! Incredible, the driver Ferdinand, Tour Guide "Jose'" so informative and fun. Jose' was an abundance of knowledge and lovely with a great sense of humour and beautiful singing voice!! The whole bus smiled and sang out loud and the countryside we saw was just stunning!!! Ferdinand our driver was so helpful with my husbands mobility scooter getting it in and out of the bus for my husband at every stop!! It was so great for my husband to have been able to experience this beautiful tour with everyone and he to sang out aloud!! We give this experience 100 out of 100!!! Just so memorable forever!! Thank you so very much!! We highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Our guide was both fun and informative! She regularly accompanies the von Trapp family and the actors when they revisit Salzburg which gave us new insights on the characters we already love. We got to visit nearly all the sites shot outside in the Sound of Music. An unexpected benefit was seeing so much of the countryside surrounding Salzburg which we wouldn't have known to explore.

It was much better than I'd hoped! Our tour guide, Simon, was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour which added to the experience. We visited all the filming locations and also got to see the Austrian Lake District (which is absolutely beautiful). Everyone joined in with the spirit of the tour. I especially liked the addition of the dancing goat!!

Our hostess was delightful & so very informative about the many locations that the movie was filmed. Also kept everyone on the bus informed of exact timelines to return to the bus. As well of the locations to look for in the small town we stopped it. The entire experience was wonderful. Thank you.

I am a very introvert person but the tour guide was so, so bubbly and fun and full of knowledge, also enthusiastic about the sound of music, I was able to follow the flow and join in the songs at the end. Everything was great!
