What To Expect

Schloss Mirabell & Mirabellgarten

The iconic song "Do Re, Mi" was partly recorded at Mirabell Palace. A visit to the gardens will bring back memories of Maria and the von Trapp children dancing around the Pegasus Fountain, jumping up and down the steps and running through the hedge tunnel. Your private driver is delighted to arrange brief stop for capturing unforgettable photos.

1 hour • Admission Not Included

Stift Nonnberg

Nonnberg Abbey is the oldest convent north of the Alps and is where the real Maria became a novice nun and married Georg von Trapp. Four scenes from the film were filmed here: the scene where the nuns sing "Maria" in the courtyard, Maria leaving the abbey, the children visiting her at the abbey and the Nazis hunting the von Trapps. Your local driver is ready to create short stop for those perfect photos.

We had a great experience on this tour. Lukas was a very professional driver that we were able to chat with back and forth to Salzburg. This was not a guided tour, but we loved the freedom of our own schedule and to focus on what was more meaningful to us.

Dominik great driver. Although Dominik planned out a walking tour of Salizburg and the Sound of music tour, he couldn't walk us through the old village of Salizburg. We understood because of Austrian tour guide must be licensed. We understood that from the tour operator before we left on holiday. We, before we left, downloaded The Rick Steves Audio walking tour of Salzburg & used that. Dominik was able to take us to other areas of Salizburg & he was extremely accommodating & polite. We are pleased.

Enjoyed a safe day trip transport from Munich to Salzburg and return to Munich. Beautiful sights along the highway and Salzburg is stunning. However, this trip should be advertised as a day trip to Salzburg. The Sound of Music highlights were very challenging. The first stop was the park area where the song do re mi ended. Our driver dropped us off to explore the area. The park is beautiful and we were able to discover several of the areas from the movie. We were picked up by our driver and next dropped off by old town Salzburg. We were told to explore and have lunch. After being picked up we were brought to the river area where Maria and the children fell out of the boat. At that point we were told the Von Trapp home is not an option to see since it's private property. We were then told the convent and concert location (from the end of the movie) are near old town where we had lunch. Asked the driver to return us to the area again to locate these two sights. We were dropped off, given some general directions and had to locate both on our own. It was very difficult. If we didn't have a phone with GPS it would have been impossible. The convent is up a very steep hill, which we did locate. The concert area was closed to the public. We were not expecting to be dropped off in areas and find locations on our own. The people of Salzburg were very friendly and the only way we found certain things was because of their help. I'm overlooking several major things with this review and feel giving 3 stars is being very generous considering the cost of this tour.

Took advantage of the day trip to Salzburg for Sound of Music tour. Enjoyed the safe and scenic private drive from Munich to Salzburg and return. Salzburg is stunning and fully enjoyed walking through the old town main square area. However, this trip should not be advertised as a Sound of Music private tour. Most of the locations need to be walked and with no vehicle acccess. Our first stop was great, viewing the park and steps from do re mi. At the next stop we were dropped off and told to explore old town, not knowing both the convent and concert theatre were located near by. It was necessary to stop again at the end of the trip to find both, it was not easy. The theatre concert area is closed to the public. The convent is up a steep hill and not easy to find. Also. The Von Trapp home from filming is closed to the public. I feel we were fully left on our own to find the sights. Lucky we have a phone, GPS access and the weather was great with friendly Salzburg people who guide as needed. So, we made the best of it. This trip should be advertised ONLY as a day trip to Salzburg. Also, the driver should have at least minimal skills of the area and the tour. On each stop we were left completely alone with little guidance. For the $$$ you are paying this trip definitely fell a bit short. I feel I'm being quite generous and overlooking several issues.

From the very start, our driver Tomas was welcoming and patient. Breakfast at our hotel was a little busier than we expected and he waited for us to finish, and then began our tour. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and Tomas was a good driver, making us feel safe and confident traveling with him. Our drive included wonderful and informative conversation -- we felt we made a friend by the end of the day! He took several photos for us and was accommodating to our sightseeing requests. He even bought us some famous Mozart chocolates to enjoy! The sights in Salzburg were beautiful, but Tomas made our day that much more memorable. Vielen dank!
