Full description
Start with the salt mines and take a breathtaking ride from the city of Salzburg into the Bavarian Alps along the Kings Lake-Ache passing the Obersalzberg, where the second headquarters of the Third Reich used to be.  Afterwards, the tour continues to its highlight – the 490 year old salt mines at Berchtesgaden. Slip into traditional miners’ clothes and take the miners’ train deep into the mountain. Experience the fascinating underground world of the salt-miners and discover the charm of the magnificently illuminated subterranean landscape. Take the slides down to the salt lake which you will be crossing by boat. After this 2-hour unique tour you will have the opportunity to explore the little picturesque town of Berchtesgaden tasting some Bavarian specialties.  After a short break go to the Sound of Music Tour - a wonderful ride with amazing views! Tour the picturesque World Heritage City of Salzburg as well as the beautiful landscapes where the opening scenes of the movie The Sound of Music were filmed. The enormous success of The Sound of Music Broadway Musical by Rodgers & Hammerstein premiering in 1959 caused film director Robert Wise and 250 crew members to turn Salzburg and its surroundings into the Sound of Music film location in 1964.   Right after release, the film became a tremendous success, awarded with 5 Oscars, becoming the highest grossing movie ever and reaching cult status over the years. Both the musical and film are based on the "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" written by Maria von Trapp in 1949.  Do follow the traces of the Trapp family and take a tour through Salzburg and its surroundings. Visit all of the original film sets and just imagine being Julie Andrews, the main character in the film, playing Maria von Trapp. Learn about the historical and architectural landmarks of Salzburg as well as the Lake District while enjoying the highlights of the movie. Relax and listen to the Original Sound of Music soundtrack and of course feel free to sing Edelweis and much more.

Great trip. If you're planning to do both tours, this is a great way to get a personalized experience. We did SOM in the morning and then the Salt Mines in the afternoon. We were ahead of the buses of SOM tours which was nice. Andres our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a great sense of humor.

The excursion to the salt mines was a lot of fun, but the twisty driving over mountain roads wasn’t great for some on our tour who get motion sick (so be aware). Our guide for the Sound of Music tour was very enthusiastic and showed us a lot of the sites used for filming around the city. The drive to the Church is a LOOOOONG way away, and not worth the time and effort it takes to get there.

The trip was good, well organized and really enjoyed both Sound of music and Salt mines tour. The only thing I didn’t like, in one of the tour since I was by myself then didn’t have the option to choose my own seat which was annoying and ridiculous. I have paid same price like everyone else meaning I am entitled to sit where I want. I had to move few times since a couple wanted to sit together. If a couple want to sit together then they should arrive early not arrive whenever they want abd demand to choose their own seat. Unless singles are getting discount price then shouldn’t be asked to sit here or there giving they are single
