We had a wonderful experience with Bob’s Tours in Salzburg on their Sound of Music tour. From beginning to end, the tour was extremely well organized, enjoyable, and a great way to experience Salzburg and the beautiful surrounding countryside. Our tour guide, Jacob, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. His knowledge of The Sound of Music, Salzburg, and the locations we visited made the experience so much more interesting and memorable. He was also very attentive to everyone in our group and made the entire tour feel relaxed and personal. The scenery was spectacular, the stops were well chosen, and we came away with a much greater appreciation for both the movie and this beautiful part of Austria. We would highly recommend Bob’s Tours, and especially Jacob, to anyone visiting Salzburg. It was one of the highlights of our visit and absolutely deserving of five stars
Jacob was excellent and very knowledgable…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………,..,.,,,,.,,.
Me and my daughter did this trip with Francesca. We absolutely loved it, we visited lots of filming locations and learned so much about the making of the film and the proper Von Trapp family. Francesca was so knowledgeable and made the trip fun. The small group was a bonus when visiting the sights. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Five stars all the way
My mother and I went to Salzburg in early August primarily because we have always dreamed of going on a Sound of Music Tour. When I was reviewing the options, I went with Bob's because I thought we'd like a smaller group experience vs a large tour bus. We had Robin as our guide and he was absolutely amazing. He showed us locations along with pictures from the movie so we could orient ourselves and gave us a great amount of time to take photos to try and recreate scenes for ourselves. In addition to being a fantastic guide, Robin was also a great driver and navigated the winding roads to Mondsee with ease. It felt particularly special to be able to both see all the Sound of Music highlights and better explore the surrounding towns in the Salzburg area on local roads. We were even able to squeeze in a quick pitstop to take a picture of a sparkling blue Alpine lake--I've never seen anything like it and appreciated all of Robin's local knowledge about the movie and the area. Without a doubt, this tour was the highlight of our trip and I would recommend to any serious Sound of Music fan.
We loved our Sound of Music tour! Our guide was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Our group was small, which helped the experience feel more personal. The van we took was also small, which allowed us to drive to places the larger buses couldn’t go. We learned a lot of fun facts about the Sound of Music and got to see so much of the beauty of Austria. I highly recommend this tour!
Enjoyable and informative tour! Driving in a minibus made it very personal, plenty of opportunities to ask questions of our knowledgable guide. We were shown photos of film locations and given inside info all the way round. An additional bonus to have the soundtrack played on our journey into the hills, as well as interviews with the cast! Great tour, would recommend!
Our guide was Nadja and she was amazing! Nadja took the time to explain all of the locations, details, and history of the Sound of Music. She showed us each beautiful location, gave us enough time to spend at each location, and was polite, professional, and answered all of our questions. She was wonderful and I highly recommend this Tour. Thank you so much!
We loved our four-hour tour of Sound of Music filming sites! Our tour guide Elvis was delightful and knew an extraordinary amount about both the filming of the movie and the actual Von Trapp family story. It was also wonderful to get out of the city and experience the beauty of this region. We appreciated doing the tour in a small group, which gave us greater and easier access to filming sites.
I have waited my whole life to do this tour and it was everything and more! The small tour was amazing as we got to go places the big buses can’t. Francesca our guide was amazing. She made it a special. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Amazing tour. Elvis was so knowledgeable & passionate about the Sound of Music. Loved having a small group as felt it was more personal. Would recommend this tour wholeheartedly 🙏
