Traveler Reviews

Three of us booked a full day private tour with Carlos for "The Sound of Music: The Hills Are Alive." Carlos picked us up at our hotel on time in a clean and nice vehicle. He took us to see a large number of "The Sound of Music" sites including the Mirabell Gardens, St. Peter's Archabbey cemetery, the historic center of Salzburg, the house and lake that served as the back of the house in the film, the building used as the front of the house in the film, the "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" gazebo, the church used in the wedding scene, numerous scenes from the "Do-Re-Mi" song montage including the bridge, along the river, and the picnic. If you want the full "Sound of Music" experience, I would recommend a private tour such as this over the standard four-hour coach bus tour. The large bus tours are not allowed onto the hill/mountain where the opening scene was filmed. Carlos was able to take us to the hill/mountain where the opening scene was filmed. The site is actually and ironically ju

What a wonderful spring day with Thomas and Carlos. The Sound of Music tour was great it brought the movie back to live and the guide was very knowledgeable on the history of the Von Trapp Family and melded it with the noche. If you need a Sound of Music tour in Salzburg book this one with VIATOR.
