5.00Extensive knowledge with visual aids and fun facts taking you to all the best locations. Elvis enhances the Salzburg experience, communicating a friendly, fun, kind and considerate tour which pitches at every level.
Sound of Music Tour is a Highlight

5.00The tour took us to places outside of Salzburg that were wonderful to see.. Our tour guide was a highlight. I would highly recommend the tour to others looking for a 4 hr option. Try to go after March/winter months. Many fountains close down so you don't see the beauty of those things, but that didn't take away from the fun of the tour.
This tour was one of our favorite things!

5.00Elvis is the king of tours! So knowledgeable and funny! We learned so much about the movie and Salzburg and only had to sing a little!
One of the best tours we've been on!

5.00A fabulous 4 hour tour with Francizsca and a small group of 8. We were taken to many filming locations. We had a wonderful experience with listening to songs from the movie whilst driving through the hills outside Salzburg which were used in the film. Our guide Francizsca was knowledgeable about all things to do with the movie as well as general relevant historical facts. The planning of the tour, timing and delivery of information and facts was excellent. We highly recommended this small tour. Francizsca was easy to talk to, friendly and made the tour very pleasant.
Great tour with Elvis

5.00Elvis was our guide, and he did a fantastic job! He not only told and showed us things from the movie, but he gave us information about the real Maria, Julie Andrew’s, Christopher Plummer, the history in and around Salzburg and Austria. Elvis gave us time to get out to take pictures and take a break. Elvis was a great guide would HIGHLY recommend him and this tour again and again!
The hills are alive with bobs tours

5.00Had the absolute best time on the sound of music tour. The small group made it feel really personal. Elvis was a fantastic tour guide, he had amazing knowledge and stories of the film and the stories origins. He also doubled as an excellent camera man. Would highly recommend going on bobs tours over the bigger tours.
Good tour
