Full description

On this half-day tour you'll relive scenes from one of the most popular movies of all time. Visit the locations used during the filming of The Sound of Music in Salzburg and its surrounding countryside. During the tour, you’ll also hear songs from the original soundtrack. Let your guide show you the architectural and historical landmarks of the city and the picturesque Lake District. See Leopoldskron Palace, a place whose exterior was used as the Trapp family home and where the children were seen boating on the lake and jumping into the water. Maria was a novice at Nonnberg Abbey, the oldest convent in German-speaking Europe, and your next stop. The St. Gilgen and Lake Wolfgang scenes shown at the beginning of the movie were actually filmed at Lake Fuschl, on the way to St. Gilgen, which you'll also see today. The wedding scene was filmed at Mondsee Cathedral, a buttery yellow-and-white edifice where you'll stop on the tour. Maria, led by Liesl, walked down the aisle to meet the baron in front of the stairs of the main altar. After dropping you off in Salzburg at the end of the tour you can visit Mirabell Gardens, located just opposite the tour terminal. Maria and the children were seen dancing through the Gardens singing Do-Re-Mi.

This is a fantastic tour even if you're just kind of into the sound of music! The tour takes you to so many beautiful places and you do even get a bit of time to eat and shop by yourself, which I wasn't expecting given the short length of the tour. There's lots of great trivia about the movie, and Salzburg in general, and sing alongs - of course. My guides were also super amazing, very funny and personable. Highly, highly recommend!

EXCEPTIONAL AND WORTH ITS VALUE !! Just an outstanding tour guide in Bridgette who was so knowledgable and engaged. She made the tour even more lovely through her very detailed explanations and singing the songs along with the toursists on the bus. Bridgette deserves special appreciation for her energy, knowledge and overall service to tourists. Thank you Bridgette and this is a MUST DO TOUR IN SALZBURG.

A fun tour of some Sound of Music Sights. The guide did a great job engaging everyone. She was friendly, fun, and all around wonderful. I do hesitant a bit on the price point of the tour though, as it is essentially just a few photo stops that you are fairly rushed through. Overall a worthwhile experience but know it may be a bit less for your money than you think.
