A must have tours to join!
Review by: sanrionjb, November 2017
Both parts were great! belongings stay on bus while in mine so plan accordingly. No photos in the mine but I bought the ones they took at the end- 5 euros- so stick some euros in your pocket if you plan to do this. Went from one activity to the next, so glad I brought some snacks. Loved singalong!

My 16 year old granddaughter and I loved the Salt Mines tour, the train into the mountain was good and the slides amazing, even though they looked challenging to say the least. Would have gone again if we could, the photos they take are only 5 Euros, which compared to anything similar in the UK is a fair price. Would have liked to have bought a guide book showing the tour, as they discourage guests taking photos, probably as lots of flashes would spoil it for other people. Would recommend this tour for such fun._br/_ The Sound of Music tour in the afternoon was also enjoyable but more crowded. Loved seeing the locations from the film and lots of back ground stories. A lot of people on our coach were reluctant to sing along which was a shame, but our guide Ana was very good and tried to get everyone involved. Watched the film on my return home and loved seeing where we had been. Also recommended for lovers of the film.

This is essentially two tours combined which does save some money. We did the Salt Mines Tour in the morning and the Sound of Music in the afternoon. Both tours were excellent. The guides were very knowledgable. We learned quite a lot about the history of Salzburg. The Sound of Music Tour is worth doing even if you never saw the movie. Both tours give you the opportunity to visit the country side and both stop in lovely Austrian villages. The Sound of Music Tour takes you out to the lake district and to Mondsee Cathedral where the wedding scene in the movie was filmed. Be prepared however for the Sing a Long on the way back.

Amazing tour! So much fun to see all the sites!
Review by: Bridget B, October 2017
After reading the many reviews I believe that what separates these tours from very good and great is the quality of the tour guide. Ours was okay but someone who gets the whole bus involved with the singing etc would make it a lot more fun. It was amazing to us how The Sound of Music is an international phenomenon except in Austria we learned! We had dinner with 3 lovely Chinese women and they were able to sing all of the the songs! It was fun to learn more about the making of the movie! The second half was a drive to the mountains where Hitler had his headquarters in WWII and a visit to the saltmines and lunch in Berchetsgadens. I was very disappointed to learn that I had signed up for the wrong tour as I had meant to go to Hallstaat but we made the best of it and enjoyed the other tour as well.

Really enjoyed the salt mine tour. Interesting and entertaining! Although my husband thought the Sound of Music tour was a little cheesy, he ended up enjoying the sites and we both thought our tour guide and driver were a HOOT! They kept us laughing! Would recommend both tours.

The Sound of Music tour was very informative and the tour guide was wonderful but I think your overall enjoyment has more to do with how much you like The Sound of Music._br/_ The Salt Mine Tour was ruined for us by a group of teenage boys who were very loud and rude throughout the whole tour. The guide wasn't much older than the boys and he did not try to quiet them. I could not wait for it to end to get away from the obnoxious group of boys

Sound of music tour was very fun and informative. Our tour lady Anna was amazing. The bus trip out to the Lake District was nice and we enjoyed a lovely lunch there._br/_ The salt mine was a little disappointing after we'd been to the salt mine in Poland

The sound of music was the best tour and the tour guide ana made it an experience to remember. She was the best tour guide for the sound of music and she sings very well, it felt like we were in the movie. Anybody who gets this tour get ana. She is not any other tour guide, every guide should be her

the salt mines day trip was great, we went through Hitler's HQ and saw the eagle's nest on our way to the salt mines. the Sound of Music tour is not for you if you are not a massive fan of the movie
Review by: Tom S, August 2017
Great tour of Sound of Music movie locations. Our guide was a trained singer and her singing made it extra special.
Review by: Gillian L, July 2017
I was so disappointed with this tour. The salt mines section was organised terribly. You share a bus with people doing the eagles nest tour and spend half the time driving them to and from their activities. In the first 5 hours you only have 1h for salt mines and 1 for lunch. The rest is on the bus!

This tour and the guide were amazing! When people ask us about Salzburg, the guide from this tour is always in our story. The tour was fun and happy and made for a great way to see the countryside. I would not miss this while visiting.

Perfect combo! The salt mine were completely worth it, followed by a quaint visit to a Bavarian village. The Sound of Music was fantastic too!

An absolute must while in Salzburg !
Review by: Jennifer D, July 2017
Kirstl was wonderful! She fit the image of Maria and led the group sing-a-long well!! Thank you so much for a great trip to see the sights of a wonderful movie and sharing your home Salzburg with us. The Salt Mine Trip was awesome! It was more than what we expected. Definitely a worthwhile trip!

The tour was fabulous! It was wonderful seeing all the Sound of Music sights, and the scenery was beautiful. The salt mine was so much fun. We loved the wooden slides in the tour. The guides were fun and knowledgeable. Walter was our guide for the salt mine portion and was fun and interesting.

The salt mine portion of this tour was awesome. A very cool experience exploring a cave. They have some surprises along the way.
