The Hills Are Alive Private Tour - When you wait years to make a trip to Austria, you hold your breathe til it becomes a reality…. This experience did NOT disappoint. Michael asked what we needed & had additional plans! A family of teens and adults brought challenges, but he was ready for it! The landscape itself is beautiful enough. But the information & fun tips were an added bonus. I can’t rate any higher.

Phenomenal Private Tour for Sound of Music Fans - My wife and I did the private “The Hills Are Alive” tour with Carlos, and it was unforgettable. Carlos was EXCEPTIONAL—his knowledge of the film, the real filming locations, and behind-the-scenes trivia was absolutely PHENOMENAL. We visited all the famous spots, but what made this tour truly unique were the off-the-beaten-path locations big buses can’t access—like seeing the actual mountaintop where Julie Andrews sang “The Hills Are Alive.” Standing there was magical. Carlos made every stop meaningful, blending history, scenery, and film lore seamlessly. His passion and enthusiasm were infectious, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. If you love the movie—or just want a once-in-a-lifetime Salzburg tour—this is it.

A great day with a great guide - What an amazing day! We are touring Austria with a large group but decided to take a private tour on a free day. Michael was amazing! He was patient when we had a mixup with the pickup location due to our tour changing our hotel after initial booking. The van was very comfortable and Michael drove safely. We got to see so many locations relevant to the movie while Michael shared stories. We even went back to a couple spots we visited with our large group, but Michael shared even more information about those sites and made the whole day memorable and enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

Sound of music tour - Our tour guide Carlos was amazing. He knew everything about the movie and all the sites used to film it. He took his time and explained everything while showing us parts of the movie related to where we were at the time. This way we were able to understand how the movie was filmed and also many details no one would ever recognize unless someone was explaining them to you. Over all, this was the best tour my wife and I have ever had.

Sound of Music Tour of our Dreams - My mom and sisters and I have been dreaming of doing the Sound of Music tour for decades. We finally made it happen this year and it did not disappoint. Michael was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge, kindness, and sense of humor made the day special. He was patient and knew all the pictures we wanted to take. He even played the relevant songs as we approached our next location. He knows so much about the movie and understood our desire to sing along with the soundtrack (he knows all the words, too.) The meal we ate at the Golden Bear was delicious. The car we rode in was clean and comfortable. Michael made everything easy and enjoyable for us. We did this tour on our first day in Salzburg and I’m glad we did. Michael gave us great insights and recommendations for getting around the city. This tour exceeded our highest expectations and I definitely recommend it.

Fascinating information and stunning scenery. - Carlos was a fantastic tour guide! He’s extremely knowledgeable and is clearly a fan of The Sound of Music and loves Salzburg. We had an intimate tour for the three of us and I would highly recommend it. Not only did we enjoy the main highlights, but Carlos was able to drive us up to the hills to explore extra hidden gems, like the Sound of Music picnic spot up in the hills. It was obviously different scenery at times covered in snow, but Carlos had clips from the movie to show how each place was exactly the same place, as well as explaining some filming trickery. Carlos is entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly and provided an incredible experience.

Full day trip, not - Prompt collection and very prompt drop off. Beautiful scenery, not enough information given throughout the day. Driver nice bit of a grumpy driver. Felt we didnt see everything was our choice 2 areas we pick as he couldnt do both. Pricey trip experience of a lifetime. Not value for money. Feel we paid far too much. We had to pay xtra ourselves to see other areas. And lunch should be included in the price.
