Loved our tour! - Jose was our guide and he was wonderful! He was been to Vermont to meet some of the Von Trapp family and also met some at the 60th celebration. He is full of interesting information and he is a lot of fun! We did this tour 15 years ago and it was good, but Jose added an extra special touch to it. Highly recommend!

The best time! - We had a wonderful time today! The tour was everything we hoped for, and more. Our guide, Philip, was exceptional and despite many travels, we found him to be one of the best hosts we've ever encountered. Full of knowledge, enthusiasm and a zest for joy, he made the tour for us! We shared the minivan for our 4 hour trip with a couple from Canada and a fellow Brit and we all enjoyed the singalong to Sound of Music songs! Philip also shared information about the local areas and the history of Salzburg which we were happy to learn The tour on our first day in Salzburg was lovely to see some of the city, but the lakes and surrounding mountains too. Philip and the staff at the meeting point were all fabulous. More than happy to personally recommend and the extra for the private tour is well worth it. Thanks for a great day!

A great day! - What a great day we had with our guide Antonio. While we expected information about the sights, Antonio's knowledge about the making of SOM and all the locations we saw was next level. His own enthusiasm for the film and the settings really made the day special and fun. He was also a great driver, which made for a stress free tour. Highly recommend!

Exceeded Expectations! - We booked the private Sound of Music tour that included driving in the mountains to the meadow where they filmed Do-Re-Mi. I cannot recommend this itinerary and Panorama Tours highly enough. If you’re traveling all the way to Austria, do it right and book one of these tours. Susie was our guide and she was wonderful. Exceeded expectations.

Absolutely surpassed our... - Absolutely surpassed our expectations! Our guide was so good, knew the movie frontwards and backwards! Saw all the sites that they filmed in Salzburg. Even had one of the best apple strudels ever in Mondsee, where the wedding scene took place! If you have the chance take the tour!

The Hills are still alive - This was an amazing trip made enjoyable by our guide Alenka whose knowledge of both the film and the real story brought the trip to life. A tour of the memorable locations was enhanced as tales of the behind the scenes action added to the fun. It was also enjoyable to learn facts of the real story and how Hollywood chose to change things for the film.

Private tour was a bust. - Meeting point was a nightmare to get to and parking was around €28. Our group of 8 was crammed into a 9 passenger van with our guide. It was impossible for those in the middle to see anything. We drove through mountain roads so fast we were taking bets as to whether we would survive. Couldn’t wait to get off this tour.
