Amazing. - My wife and I did the private tour of The Hills Are Alive, Sound of Music tour with Micheal Toth. We did a walk of old town Salzburg, then the driving tour and lunch. At all times Micheal was a wealth of information, professional, respectful and helpful. We could not have asked for a better host. The day was perfect including the weather.

Brilliant! - Our guide Michael oversaw an action packed day, visiting all the main SOM location sites plus other more remote locations. We especially enjoyed the Do Re Me meadow and mountain trail as appears at the end of the film - an added extra which we were not expecting. Michael was very Knowledgeable, good humoured and patient. In addition to Sound Of Music he also gave valuable background information on Saltzburg, it's geology and culture. Highly recommended! Brian and Carole Jones.

Great Tour, Best Guide! 😁 - My Mom and I did the Hills Are Alive Tour on 9/30 with our guide, Michael. It was a gift for her upcoming birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our time! The weather wasn’t the best but we made the most of it, with the help of our guide. He was funny, welcoming, kind and had great background stories he shared with us, and also was our photographer! Thank you Michael for a memorable tour!

Carlos is the best! - If you are like me and have always dreamed of the Sound of music experience in Salzburg, I can assure you that you will never choose a better experience than this private Hills are alive tour. The icing on top of the cake was Carlos as our guide! The extra steps he took all day to make sure we were both educated and able to check off every box on our wish list was so appreciated. His knowledge not only with the movie itself, the movie locations, but all of Austria’s history made our tour the best of our 15 day trip to Europe! Thank you Carlos for making my dreams come true! Never stop taking that extra step to make your tourist feel so special it is truly appreciated!

Expensive but worth it! - Amazing tour with Michael. We went to so many sites from the movie that can't be done with a big bus tour. He was very knowledgeable about details of the movie and played perfectly timed songs as we approached the sites. I highly recommend this tour - it was expensive but worth it!

The Hills Are Alive Private Tour - When you wait years to make a trip to Austria, you hold your breathe til it becomes a reality…. This experience did NOT disappoint. Michael asked what we needed & had additional plans! A family of teens and adults brought challenges, but he was ready for it! The landscape itself is beautiful enough. But the information & fun tips were an added bonus. I can’t rate any higher.
