Absolutely loved it! So much fun and nostalgia. Mitch was a fabulous host and I also learned so much about Salzburg and Austria via his narration as we travelled to each Sound of Music destinations. The scenery is beyond amazing and the bus very comfortable during a European heatwave! Credit to our awesome driver too!

This is the second time in 8 years going on this same Sound of Music tour. This time, they no longer show you or drive by the various sites in Salzburg that is shown in the movie. Although, what was added was the history of the real story. Otherwise, it was an okay tour of the major parts of the movie. I'm not sure if I would do it for a third time.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for joining our Sound of Music Tour again after so many years.
We appreciate your feedback. As the movie was filmed in the 1960s, some locations and circumstances have changed over the decades, which unfortunately means we cannot always include or access every filming site as it appeared back then. However, we continuously adapt the tour where possible and have added more background about the true story behind the von Trapp family to provide additional insight and context.
Our goal is always to offer our guests an enjoyable and entertaining four-hour experience, combining the magic of the movie with the history and beauty of Salzburg and its surroundings.
Thank you once again for your visit, and we hope you enjoyed spending time with us.

We’re especially glad you appreciated the different views and experiences offered by each route, making the drive enjoyable in both directions. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
Nice tour of Salzburg. But a bit over priced for looking at a gazebo and two filming locations from a distance. Best was our guide Simon, he was brilliant! And that the driver Dragan sold cold beer.
Reply from Salzburg Panorama Tours 2026-06-25
Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed Simon's guiding and appreciated Dragan's hospitality — we will be sure to pass your kind words on to both of them.
Regarding the filming locations, we understand your point of view. Unfortunately, not all original filming sites can be visited directly, as some are privately owned properties. We naturally respect the rights and privacy of the owners and therefore can only view certain locations from a distance.
We always strive to provide the best possible Sound of Music experience while balancing access restrictions and preservation of these special places.
Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you back to Salzburg in the future.
Our guide was absolutely remarkable. My one suggestion is if you love The Sound of Music as much as I do (know every word), sign up for the 9 hour tour. This way, you will actually go inside all the places from the movie - not do drive bys. But our guide was so knowledgeable and was as enthusiastic as we were. I cannot recommend them highly enough. One note, we had a private tour - the other tours were very large buses. I think this was much more intimate

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and that your guide's knowledge and enthusiasm helped make the experience so memorable. It is especially rewarding to know that fellow Sound of Music fans appreciate the passion we bring to sharing these iconic locations.
Thank you as well for highlighting the difference between our private tour and larger group tours. We agree that the private experience offers a more intimate and flexible way to explore the filming locations and the beautiful surrounding area.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Salzburg for another unforgettable experience in the future!
Our guides, Connor and Sonia, were so engaging, funny, and had so much to say about the locations we were visiting. The tours were the perfect length, giving you just enough time to visit the filming locations and take photos, and separately, explore Hallstatt for 2.5 hours. Definitely recommend going to Hallstatt in the morning as it gets pretty crowded when the ferry comes in.

We're delighted to hear that Connor and Sonia made your experience so enjoyable with their engaging stories, humor, and knowledge of the filming locations. It's great to know that you found the tour pace and timing just right, allowing plenty of opportunities for photos as well as time to explore Hallstatt at your own leisure.
Thank you also for sharing the helpful tip about visiting Hallstatt in the morning. The village can indeed become much busier later in the day, so your advice will be valuable for future guests.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
We loved the Sound of Music tour this morning. The next level detail provided by Simon made it SO interesting for someone who has watched the film many times and knows much of the back stories.
Simon was an EXCELLENT tour guide. He broke the ice, he delivered much of the content in the first half of the tour when everyone’s attention was good, then let us sing and enjoy the music and film on the way back. The driver was good. I liked that drinks were offered for purchase along the way. There were enough bathroom stops 👍
I cried a couple of times this morning. Truly an experience of a lifetime ❤️
Thank you for offering this tour with such a genuine love of the film and everything the film means to so many people.

The Australian-born tour director on the Eagle's Nest tour was fabulous. His knowledge of history and his way of presenting it was one of the best we have ever come across on any tour anywhere. His ability to keep the group together in sometimes crowded situations was excellent. The bus driver was incredible with his ability to navigate such a large bus on such narrow moutain roads. Overall, this was one of the best tours we have ever been on. Thank you.

We will also be sure to pass along your compliments to our bus driver. Navigating a large coach on the narrow mountain roads requires exceptional skill, and we are thrilled that his professionalism and expertise contributed to your enjoyment and comfort throughout the journey.

We loved our time on the Sound of Music tour. April had many great tid bits and a wonderful attitude. Schmaltzy as it may be, we greatly enjoyed singing our favorite songs on the bus. I wish we could have seen the lane where Maria and the Von Trapp kids rode their bikes!

We're delighted to hear that you had such a great time on the Sound of Music tour and that April helped make the experience special with her knowledge, enthusiasm, and positive attitude. We completely agree that singing along to the songs on the bus is part of the fun—even if it is a little schmaltzy!
As for the famous bike-riding lane, we understand your wish to see it. Unfortunately, some filming locations are on private property or are not easily accessible during our tour route, but we love hearing which scenes resonate most with our guests.
Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Salzburg for another memorable experience in the future!
The Sound of music tour was wonderful, especially since our guide (who is from Ireland) really knew his stuff. That made all the difference. Lots to see and learn, very well done.
