5.00We had a wonderful experience!! They switched around our two tours due to weather and everything worked out so well. April and Eric were fabulous. I would highly recommend doing the combo tour.
A day well spent

5.00The salt mines were a pleasant surprise. I had no idea how interesting they were. Though they caught us VIPs, I felt like an outsider because I did not speak German. The real bonus was the historical knowledge of our guide. He was able to show us things about Hitler and the Nazi party that I have never heard before. By itself, that was a tour worth doing. The sound of music tour was fun, but since I don’t know all of the words to the songs, it was not my favorite. Overall, it was a great way to experience Salzburg.
Sound of Music Comes to Life

5.00The Sound of Music portion was excellent in that is was informative and entertaining. Our guide was welcoming and made the attempt to know each of us (cannot remember his name but he was originally from Australia). We will always remember him singing songs from the movie as we drove to the places where the movie was filmed. He seemed to enjoy his time with us. We were told to meet the group at 0815 and the tour really started at 0914. The bus driver was skilled. We could not believe how he maneuvered the sharp turns and curves! We appreciated the breaks and opportunities to walk. The Salt Mines portion was a nice roadtrip with good information along the way. The underground tour was led by a miner who was proud of his occupation and the mine itself. The boat ride across the underground lake was beautiful. I was nervous about the slides into the lower levels but they were fun and safe.

5.00Amazing combination but be prepared for a full day. Good 9.5 hours in total. Tour guides are amazing, especially Kylie from Australia (not Minogue!) who lives Maria.

5.00If you are looking for something informative and just plain fun, do this tour! Fun little-known info about the movie and its locations combined with SINGING.
A little slice of Bavarian Alps happiness

5.00We loved everything about this experience. The Sound of Music tour met and exceeded expectations. Jose and Ebil made the experience extraordinary. The Slat Mine experience was great as well. My wife did it as a child and was better than she remembered.
This tour was so fun!

5.00My whole group loved this tour! The salt mines were incredible. My only complaint is that there wasn’t only 2 slides. They were so fun. I wish I could have walked back up to them and done them again. The sound of music tour was engaging and happy. Our tour guide brought to life the lives of the VonTrapp family. I’m sad we didn’t get more time to wonder at each stop. Also, we didn’t catch that Austria is a very cash based system. That would have been good to know before we arrived.
Salt Mines and SOM tours the best!
