What Guests Say About Bob's Sound of Music Tours in Salzburg

Amazing experience!

Highly recommend this tour! Great way to explore the Sound of Music sights and drive around the beautiful scenery. Elvis was so kind and we learnt a lot about the movie and Salzburg! We loved that this tour was a small group so it didn’t feel crowded. Very worth it!

This tour is the very best and only way I would recommend doing the Sound of Music tour!

This is the very best tour in Salzburg to see and learn about filming of The Sound of Music. There were only three of us in our van. Francesca is incredibly personable and knowledgeable as well as fun to be with. Growing up in Salisbury she had personal experience playing in the famous gazebo. I also liked that she had photos from the film as well as real photos from the filming of the show to share with us. We had a wonderful tour of the city and countryside! Couldn't ask for a more memorable experience.
