The scenery around Salzburg is breathtaking, and every location felt magical and full of history. A special mention must go to Kylie, whose magnificent effort and incredible enthusiasm made this tour unbelievably special. Her passion, energy, and knowledge were contagious, and she made everyone feel involved and uplifted throughout the journey. This tour exceeded all expectations and is a must-do for anyone visiting Salzburg. A truly unforgettable experience.

The sound of music tour was a lot of fun and most enjoyable. David our guide had an amazing knowledge of the film and all the sights in and around Salzburg, which he delivered is a very professional, friendly and fun manner. I would strongly recommend this tour. Our driver Evo did a great job navigating the tour bus around all the sights which included a few tight turns. The tour was the highlight of our trip to Austria. 🇦🇹

Loved how passionate our tour guide, April, was about the sound of music. Her joy and enthusiasm made our experience so much more enjoyable. We also loved seeing more of the scenery outside of the city centre of Salzburg.
