My husband and two daughters loved this tour! We had an amazing tour guide as we traveled through Austria singing on the bus. Exploring all of the famous locations was so much fun. My daughters even watched the movie again on the airplane back home!

The tour leader was passionate about the Sound of Music. We learned a lot about the movie as well as the actual Von Trapp family. The tour was so much fun. Singing on the bus was a highlight for me!
