Austria We Want To Come Back - The beautiful Austrian scenery. Saw so much in a short time. Great guide & bus driver. Great to mix Sound of Music in with Austria.

Great way to start our trip to Austria! - This was a really great tour and a wonderful way to start your stay in Salzburg. We got to see a lot of beautiful scenery and our tour guide was knowledgable and entertaining! The restaurant for lunch was a bit of a challenge to find but we did find it after calling for some directions. The food was really good!

Worth it - Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Thought there could have been a little more singing in the beginning. You see many beautiful areas, and some interesting back stories to the film. It took a bit to find the meal, but it was very good.

Beautiful afternoon of scenery in Salzburg! - Beautiful scenery and interesting history. The tour guide, Peter, was wonderful and our driver Franz was very competent. Only problem I had was that I paid for the option with dinner. The dinner is actually a voucher to a restaurant 15 min away- it was $40 more than the other option but the voucher was valued around $20. Stick to the no-dinner option!

Fun, family friendly tour - What a fun experience! We took this tour with our family of 6. My youngest child (8 years old) especially loved it! We were able to see many of the places where movie filming took place around Salzburg. We also enjoyed the sing-a-long as we drove through the Austrian countryside to the church where the VonTrapp wedding was filmed. Our guide, Mitch, was funny and kind. We all learned a lot about the movie and Salzburg too. We added on the dinner of Schnitzel and noodles with apple strudel. The meal was okay... not amazing, but the kids still enjoyed the experience. I suggest saving yourself the extra money and just dine somewhere else in town. I highly recommend this tour for Sound of Music lovers. It was so much fun!

DO NOT TAKE THE SOUND OF MUSIC TOUR WITH SCHNITZEL AND NOODLES! - While the tour was good--even though the site implies that you will physically stand on the grounds of and see a particular location and do not--the actual problem is with the dinner; especially MISREPRESENTING that I will have BROTH with CREAM COLORED PONIES. My travel agent even wrote to Sara Herzl's office explaining how my friends and I were NOT GIVEN a MAP with directions to the restaurant as the response from Herzl's office stated, nor did we have a tour guide or driver to bring us to this unknown location--foreigners in a strange city, a paid for tour AND dinner and we are abandoned, FLAT in the middle of Mirabelle Gardens, NOT at their bus terminal as the response letter also stated. Had I not stopped the tour guide, who wished us "So Long, Farewell" even before the Gardens' last stop, my friends and I would not have even known the name of the restaurant or the roughed out directions he gave; there was no voucher with THAT information on it, also contrary to the response letter. However, the worst was that the letter said they were sorry TO START, BUT the tone (something I know about, as an English teacher) turned detached--rote--and untrue. I expect more from ANYTHING associated with MY BELOVED SOUND OF MUSIC.
