Really loved the salt mine tour. The bus and tour guide did a great job. Given your instructions we found you very easily. Very helpful staff. We'd been using metro and trains to get about so it was nice to ride comfortably in your bus.

Jose was our guide and Fernando was our driver. They both did an awesome job. Jose was very knowledgeable about the sound of music history and he takes his job very seriously to make sure that his customers are 100% satisfied with their experience. He's very passionate about the sound of music you can tell when he's describing everything better than we would've thought the tour itself hits a lot of the highlighted spots where the filming occurred and Fernando was a safe driver five out of five thank you very much for the experience

Excited your guide encouraged peoples interest in the movie with song a longs, fun facts and trivia and kept the group engaged. Easy bus ride to various locations. 4 hour tour was more than enough to get the full experience of the movie.
