This was one of our favorite day trips while visiting Vienna. The guide was great, tour was educational and the city was really amazing. Touring the Salzburg castle is a must. Great views. The Christmas Market was charming. Seeing where Mozart was born and some of the filming locations for Sound of Music was also included. On the bus ride back to Vienna our guide played the Sound of Music movie. Great way to pass time one the trip back.
