Fantastic private tour with our guide Leo - Leo is a great guide and driver with a very nice Mercedes. He picked us up at the train station and drove us all over Salzburg. Leo is friendly and knowledgeable. He told us all about the making of the movie and the true story of the family. There are many funny stories about the movie, but no spoiler alerts here. Leo also pointed out things we may enjoy doing in Salzburg after the tour and explained how to get back to the train station, which was an easy walk. We took the train from Munich in the morning and returned in the evening. It was not too crowded even though we were there on the May Day holiday.

Great tour! - We combined this with a private Mozart Tour. Our guide, Peter, was fantastic and combined the tours very nicely. He was kind and thoughtful to keep a good portion of the tour out of the cold weather that we had on the day of the tour.

Lifelong dream tour - great stories on a tight timeline. - Happy we paid to do the expensive private tour on Christmas Day. Interesting and knowledgeable guide. Very structured tour with rigid timelines however. Showed some flexibility when we had an extra 15-20 minutes to visit Maria Plain church. I’m such a Sound of Music fan and have wanted to visit the Salzburg sites since I was 5. Would have like just a little more time to soak in the stories but the tour is a very strict 4 hours.

Amazing private tour - David our private tour guide was fantastic! His love and knowledge of the sound of music is incredible. I would highly recommend his tour! We had seven people in our group which made it perfect for the van ride. The views are so stunning in person. The private tour flexibility allowed us to spend our desired time at each stop and enjoy every second of this amazing tour. In addition, there are a few expectations we would have liked to know prior: you cannot go inside Abbey or Von Trapp house, gazebo is part of the tour but not original, and the Austrian Alps get dark quick in December. We were able to save time by private tour drive up service to many spots.

Lots of fun and beautiful sites - I would recommend this tour! I learned a lot of the "behind the scenes" and got to see some really gorgeous viewpoints along with movie locations. And I would say the private tour was worth the extra money for the comfort. Richard was our tour guide and he was excellent!!
