Great educational tour with a great guide. The places visited were interesting and brought back great memories. The bus was very comfortable and the little singing tour was fun. We had a young opera singer on board. Oh la la! A marvel to hear. In conclusion, The Sound of Music tour is a must on any visit to Salzburg. I highly recommend it, or you'll regret it 😉

The scenery was beautiful but the bus driver & the tour guide were great. They informed us very well of the things we visited and they kept us laughing most of the time. I lost my phone and they went above and beyond to help me locate it. We highly recommend this tour.
A really good tour, and Simon was an excellent guide. Full of fun stories and facts. Me and my wife loved the tour! :)
The guide was amazing and very funny!
Atmosphere on bus with like minded people. Guide excellent.
Overall okay tour but not as exciting as the website portrayed. Our guide was generally fine but lacked the enthusiasm to get the bus excited and to aid in a sing a long. We just drive around and listened to songs and stopped at a few sites for a few moments. I had one day In Strasbourg and if I had it to do again I would not do this tour again. Definitely a tourist trap.
We enjoyed the whole tour and our guide was very informative and got everyone involved. We loved seeing the sights and singing along to the songs
Driving a bus the places our driver had to maneuver was amazing! Our guide was extremely personable, thus making the experience special. Conner was extremely knowledgeable about the "sound of music " and everything related to the topic. But he also added everything else about Salzburg and area. Very enjoyable tour
Hearing the stories of what happened behind the scene was really interesting. Connor the tour guide was very knowledgeable.
The singing in the bus on the way to see the lakes above Salzburg. Also the details I did not know that the guide told us about.
Excellent commentary from the guide, loved hearing the music and plenty of time for photos at each stop. Bus was very comfortable too!
The tour was fine, the staff were very good. However. I consider the tour to have been overpriced. Also I don't liked being forced to choose responses from a list that does not include what I really want to say.
The host Simon on the Original Sound of Music Tour on July 3, 2025 was fantastic - he shared insightful information about the movie and locations and was very entertaining! It was lovely to see some of the alpine sights of Lake District around Salzburg. Wonderful experience all around - would highly recommend!
Jose and Ferdinand were a great team! Hope they are compensated well as they kept us laughing and singing! I had taken this tour 35 years ago and now brought my daughter. I love sharing this musical and now the wonderful Sound of Music tour with her. Thanks for a great time Jose and Ferdinand!
Seeing all the location spots. Our guide Simon was very good. Quite a few on the tour did not want to join in, but that is just one of those things, and some had never seen the film!
It was a wonderful tour with a humorous, knowledgeable tour guide. He knew so many details about the filming of the movie, plus gave us alot of history about the city of Salzburg itself and other sites to see. He also led us in singing many of the songs from the movie. Even though it rained on the day of the tour, we had a wonderful time.
Friendly and knowledgeable guide.
The tour guide was awesome. Even in the pouring rain he kept everyone's spirits up.
Great guide and comfortable bus. Good times!
Excellent content and relevant information.
The tour guide was funny The scenery was beautiful I had hoped for more singing
This was a wonderful experience for me and my family. Thank you so much for offering the Sound of Music tour!

The empty bus and very well chilled

The bus arrived 20 minutes late, for the money it's not worth taking the bus. You could have done most of it on foot and with the Salzburg Mobility Card. The audio guide on board was ok.

Purchased tickets digitally, which worked perfectly. Nice way to see just a little more than just staying in the altstadt.

Salzburg is a beautiful city, part of which we saw. Always a nice way to get acquainted with a city in a short time. We found the length a bit disappointing in relation to the price.

On the first day we had to wait more than 30 minutes for the bus at the Hellbrunn stop. In addition, the ride wasn't great due to the bus driver braking jerkily several times. The next day we were told at the Mirabellplatz starting point that there was a problem with the bus and that the departure would be delayed by at least 30 to 45 minutes as a result. We then took the public buses

It was known from the outset that there would be restrictions on the day due to the city festival. But to the extent that we found it, it would have been better to set up a hop-on hop-off service, as happened the following day. It felt like there was only one bus on the yellow line on our day and it took 30 minutes from the start at Mirabellplatz to the next stop!!! Planning the other stops was therefore completely impossible. We found it outrageous that we were charged the full purchase price of 78 euros. To put it mildly, that was a cheek. We expect a partial refund from you. Ronald and Sabine Ernst ronaldernst@web.de

Not what we expected at all and felt it was very overpriced for what it was. The timings for the bus were too spaced out so wasted a lot of time at stops that had little to offer. Very disappointed and very out of pocket for a very poor experience.

Expertise and enthusiasm of the guides, every step of the tour was carefully thought out.
Travel throughout this beautiful area. The guide Suzie was very good. Bus was comfortable. The salt mine was informative and interesting.
Easy to book, easy to find. Staff - drivers and tour guides on each tour were fantastic. Saw some beautiful locations around Salzburg.
It was easy to book, and most of the information was clear on where to start. The 2 guides made sure to make the bus ride exsiting and be sure the people were all included in the trip. The adaptation of the trip due to weather conditions made it so much better.
