Unbelievable experience, especially for the price. I booked the classic experience (not the VIP). Because I assumed we would be eating at the same tables for the concert, and we like the acoustics better from the back. Turns out that dinner is outside, in the back of the fortress and overlooks a beautiful valley and alps. Concert is inside the fortress. Our classic food menu was good (had to pay for our drinks). If you book VIP you get front row seats at the restaurant, and a menu with food options, some drinks included. Our classic seats were still fantastic, and our waiters were exceptional. Concert was amazing! 90-minutes, and performed by highly skilled, professional musicians, not students.

This trip was fantastic, our tour guide Sylvia, was just wonderful. Full of interesting facts and very helpful advice. Half day trip was plenty to visit Hallstatt. This village is truely stunning (as was the journey there). We visited the Bone house, walked around the town, had lunch, half hour boat hire and time for icecream. Honestly my favourite day of our holidays. Thank you Sylvia, you have definitely found your calling!!

I thoroughly enjoyed all four hours of this tour. Why? The docent makes the tour. In this case, we didn’t simply see Salzburg city sites and places associated with the making of the Sound of Music, nor did we simply see the glorious mountains and lakes east of Salzburg to Mondsee, our guide passionately spun numerous stories of the movie. I loved his sense of humor and apparently the tour did as well for there was much laughter and singing. Well done. And kudos to our driver for we had the afternoon slot and negotiating the city and country roads was no minor feat. All in all, the driving was top notch and I say this as the son of a professional driver. Kudos. To those reading this review, yes, this is a tour most appropriate for fans of the movie and actually enjoy singing along (we didn’t simply four songs and heard a few more). If you want strict Salzburg history, read the title of the tour and browse some more: we needed this light and fun tour after numerous days of excellent but often sobering museums. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
