The Hills Are Alive… and So Was My Inner Julie Andrews!

5.00Let’s cut to the chase: this Sound of Music tour in Salzburg isn’t just for musical die-hards. I went in skeptical, left humming “My Favorite Things” like I owed Julie Andrews money. Credit? All Bernhard. Dude’s a mix of Wikipedia, and your coolest history teacher. Think Jimmy McGill (Better Call Saul) if he traded scheming for Salzburg trivia—charm for days, zero BS.
the tour felt unorganized,

1.00After taking this tour, I felt disappointed. Our host, Bernie, tried to show us everything about the movie, but the experience fell short. Despite the beautiful area, the tour felt unorganized, and the hills didn’t feel as “alive” as expected.
Just Amazing

1.00Unfortunately, our guide Carolin did not meet expectations. Her singing felt forced, and the tour lacked engagement. We were left disappointed and expected better.
They have nothing to offer you.
