Fantastic tour! Guide was very knowledgeable and also knew niche facts. I was very impressed and I’m probably the biggest sound of music fan ever. I would love to get closer to Leopoldskron, but understand as it’s a hotel so I will have to go back and stay one day! Ample bathroom breaks, plenty of drinks on board to buy. Really great tour. I’ve already recommended to a friend!!

I really enjoyed the original Sound of Music tour. Our guide was very engaging and she described a lot of the locations where the movie was shot. The places were scenic and beautiful, so I would recommend the tour for anybody who is a fan of classics

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..

The tour was excellent. What a beautiful experience! I even got emotional at the end. The tour guide “Jose” was amazing, very funny, and knowledgeable. Even if you haven’t watched “The Sound of Music”, you should do it. I highly recommend it 👍🏻
