This private tour is a... - This private tour is a fantastic way to see Salzburg’s highlights while learning both local history and Sound of Music trivia. Having a knowledgeable guide like Peter made it feel personal and relaxed for our small group of three. Be mindful of sunset timing—booking earlier in the day is best so you can fully enjoy the views before it gets dark.

This was a great tour.... - This was a great tour. The tour guide showed us all the sound of music hotspots which took us through most of the town of Salzburg. He had great information and this oriented us to the city so we were ready to explore on our own the next couple days.

Thanks, Leo, for showing us our Favorite Things! - You can’t help but smile around Leo. From the moment we met him, we felt at ease. He has so much knowledge about Salzburg and the production of the Sound of Music. His tour was everything we hoped and more!

Perfect tour. - The tour was just lovely. Richard was knowledgeable and thoughtful. He knew a great deal about the background to the film and other interesting things about Salzburg. On an extremely cold day, it was wonderful to be whisked around in a warm comfortable car. The only annoying part was that there was nothing on line to tell us what to expect on the tour.

Sound of Music Private Tour - Sound of Music private tour- The tour was disappointing due to the omission of most planned itineraries, resulting in inadequate value for the cost. Despite previous satisfactory experiences with your tours, this tour did not meet expectations.
