5.00Sound of Music tour guide Robin gave us a wonderful tour of the sites for this amazing film. He had so many insights at each of the many locations we visited with him and made each stop fun and enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, personable, kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend Bob’s Tours for a small group experience.
AMAZING Experience!

5.00My friend and I have been dreaming of doing a Sound of Music tour in Salzburg for years, and this did not disappoint! We loved that the group was small - that was a major reason we booked with Bob's Special Tours, over other options. Our guide, Elvis, was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for our group. The tour ran long (because of some traffic, as well as our group's enthusiasm and picture-taking) and he was so lovely in accommodating us. We loved that not only did we see key sights from the movie, but we also learned more about Salzburg, the surrounding area, and some Austrian history. I think this tour was well worht the price and can't recommend it enough!
Great tour, great driver. Small group (7) and minivan

5.00It was raining but driver was very considerate some places we were able to stay longer because some stops were shorter as it was raining hard. Robin pointed out a very old restaurant and bakery that we had missed by ourselves, and we had a bum at bakery. We had wonderful tour as well in areas around Salzburg.
Tour with the best

5.00From the moment I walked into the door to check in, I could tell we were going to get exceptional service. We had our daughter’s family with grandkids 5, 9, & 11. Robin was our guide and right away he engaged them into the tour. It’s amazing how much we saw, how much information he provided not just about the movie but much more in 4 hours without ever feeling rushed! We all thought it was an excellent experience and would highly recommend it. Thanks Robin and staff!
A great tour and a friendly well informed guide

5.00Our tour guide Elvis made the tour very informative and interesting. He added lots of details about the movie, the real family and the filming. As an added bonus, he included a lot of tidbits about the history of Austria both around World War II and up to current day. We sang, we laughed and I thoroughly enjoyed the day.
