Short visit to the Mirabell Gardens, either before or after the tour. Jump up and down the Do-Re-Mi steps and see the famous Pegasus fountain, where Maria and the Von Trapp kids danced around. Also, don’t miss the hedge maze tunnel on your right when walking towards the fortress for more breathtaking views of the city of Salzburg.
Photo stop at Schloss Leopoldskron. Enjoy from across the lake the beautiful view of the palace and the fortress as picture-perfect backdrop. Although the interior shootings were done in the studios, Hollywood used the beautiful Rococo Palace terrace as the perfect setting for Maria and the Baron dancing during the ball scene. The lake is also famous for the boat scene, where Maria and the children fell off the boat.
Photo stop at Hellbrunn Park, see the Original Gazebo, capturing the most romantic scene during the Sound of Music film when Liesl gets her first kiss while singing 16 going on 17.
At Mondsee you will visit the beautiful Basilica of St. Michael where Maria and Georg von Trapp got married in the movie: a must-see for any Sound of Music fan. Also, make sure to taste some apple strudel - before you make your own - while exploring this picturesque lakeside town during your 50 minutes of free time.
Edelweiss Cooking Class. After your Original Sound of Music Tour singing Edelweiss and My Favorite Things, it's time for making your own apple strudel. From our Bus Terminal, it is about 10 minutes walk to the cooking class (map on the voucher). Take part in all stages of preparation – of course also enjoying the lavish dessert at the end. Traditional goulash soup (vegetarian or vegan options also available) will be also served for lunch before you are indulging in your own baked delicacies.
Such a fun day out traveling through Salzburg, singing and seeing the sites of the movie! The cooking class after was a bit of a walk uphill but once there we made our own delicious Austrian desserts.
As fans of the movie, this tour really had everything. It was conveniently located near our accomodation and was well organised from start to finish. Getting to visit key filming locations from the movie was surreal and our tour guide, Simon, was incredibly knowledgeable of the story behind the movie. Paired with his timely sense of humour, it was an extremely enjoyable experience! Following on, we finished our day with the cooking classes, recreating classic Austrian dishes. The class was well-paced with our demonstrator taking us through each dish and then giving us the chance to try it ourselves. It was so nice to finish, eating our dishes with the group and getting to chat with other travellers. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a culinary experience in Salzburg!
April was our tour guide and made the tour fun and memorable. She combined conversation about the filming history with sight seeing and singing to keep us occupied for 2 hours. We're still singing a day later! Thanks for a great time 😄
Maybe I said that managed my expectations. The trip was OK. It was nice to see where the movie was filmed. It would’ve been great to be able to go into the gazebo. But I understand there are so many people that come throughthe tour. It’s difficult. I have issues with the description of the tour. I booked a cooking class along with the sound of music tour. The tour guide had very little information and there was confusion in regard to a lunch and beverage that was to be included. The was provided at the cooking class, but not until after 3 o’clock. In regard to the beverages, I was asked to pay for a beverage. That was not provided at either of the tour or cooking class. It clearly stated that a beverage was included. The cooking class was very good. Our instructor was friendly professional, and understood how to teach class properly. I thought we were only going to bemaking apple strudel, but we also made nockerl . I will definitely recommend the cooking class, but I can honestly say I will not recommend the tour.
What a fun experience! Our tour guide gave us so much information and she and our driver were such fun! Loved It.
The Sound Of Music Tour was terrific! The tour guide was great! Energetic, funny and enjoyable personality!
We had an amazing time visiting all the sights of Sound of Music. Our tour guide, April, really made everything come alive! She was fantastic. As well as driver Sammy Davis Junior Jr. We laughed, we sang, we saw. After the bus tour, we made our way over to Edelweiss cooking. Our time there was enjoyable as well. The strudel making was fun and yummy! The cookies were delicious. It was great meeting folks from around the globe. If you are looking for a fun filled day, I would highly recommend this. You will not be disappointed.
Lots of good knowledge shared by the travel expert. Wish we could have gone closer to most of the sights. Too many are view from the bus! The stop in Mundsee was excellent - wish it could have been a little more time!
Best tour I’ve had. Kylie and Dragon were amazing guides. Will definitely come back to Salzburg and take tour again. Thank you Kylie/Dragon you were a great.
The Sound of Music Tour was everything we hoped it would be. Singing the songs from the movie while seeing the filming sites and hearing behind the scenes info about filming made for an enjoyable day. The Edelweiss Cooking class was lots of fun. We made apple strudel as planned but also made a Salzburg nockerl.
Tour guide was very informative. If you know the movie you would appreciate seeing all the sights in real Life
Best tour guides and bus driver ever ! Always feeling safe with this dynamic duo is a must on any tour. Ferdinand, the bus driver, did not disappoint ! Negotiating turns and hilltops with ease, there were never anxious moments. Thank you Ferdinand! As for the tour host, Jose should be awarded an Academy Award! " Let's start at the very beginning..." as the song goes, this man gives more information, humor, kindness and joy than any guide I've ever experienced in a bus tour. He is not content to sit in the front and speak into the microphone. He engages his group, entertains and makes them all feel welcomed and special. Rare qualities, indeed. Thank you, Jose.

This is a MUST DO when in Salzburg if you’re a Sound of Music fan. Our tour guide, Simon, was beyond amazing!!! Please don’t miss this when in Salzburg!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. From singing the songs as we drove around Salzburg and into the Mountains, touring the filming spots our guide and driver we’re fabulous. The cooking class in the afternoon was its own special highlight for our family. Plenty to eat from the prepared beef goulash to the strudel we prepared ourselves guided by Chef Analena.
Wonderful tour . Our tour guide was terrific . We enjoyed the stories, anecdotes and sites visited. We also loved the edelweiss cooking school. Johann was wonderful and we had fun, learned to cook two familiar desserts and enjoyed a nice sit down meal. Very well organized. Highly recommended
Informative, fun, great tour guide and bus driver. Would have liked 15 more min in Mont See to allow for walking distance and time to see church and get apple strudel which was encouraged. Overall highly recommend.
Fun , informative, interesting, inactive everyone ends up talking enjoying a laughter and singing together.
This tour was amazing! One of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The tour guide was amazing and so knowledgeable about how the Sound of Music was filmed and the significance of all the sites in Salzburg that were important to the movie. The cooking class was a blast and the strudel was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
We had an outstanding tour, even with a bit of drizzle and clouds. The views were stunning, David was an excellent tour guide, and Ferdinand the ever cheerful host and excellent driver. I wish I remembered more of the words to all of the songs, but that did not prevent me from thoroughly enjoying singing along with everyone as we toured the gorgeous area and sights. The Edelweiss strudel making (and eating) class was outstanding. They are so organized, they make it so easy to prepare amazing strudel. The setting is perfect, we could not have enjoyed it more! I especially appreciate them providing a vegetarian option for the soup we also got treated to. It was delicious, and I was relieved to not feel like a bother for having dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend both of these tours as a combination or individual events!
