Salzburg Super Saver: Hallstatt & Original Sound of Music Tour

Candy_L, May 2026

We had a wonderful...

We had a wonderful experience with Panorama Tours, and the weather was nice and sunny too. Max, the tour guide for Hallstatt, was experienced and gave lots of details and stories on the way. The second half of the Sound of Music tour was conducted by Jose, who was funny and informative. The whole bus was full, and everyone enjoyed singing all the way. Awesome trip!

Adorable Town

It is a beautiful drive from Salzburg. The town is very adorable. I took the boat ride around the lake. It did rain while I was on the boat, but it didn’t last long. My brother took the tram up the mountain to see the views and the snow and he enjoyed it and said it was beautiful.

Great instructor and lots of fun

It was the perfect amount of time for the class. We got to make two dishes and enjoyed those after our goulash lunch. We were a group of about 15 and everyone was easygoing and friendly. I really thought the instructor was fantastic. Jimmy had a great sense of humour and reminded us that it was not imperative to do everything exactly as he had shown us. Some instructors get frustrated if students things aren’t done exactly the same way. The woman who was assisting was not very pleasant, and almost seemed annoyed. I don’t think she smiled once. Several of us spoke about this during the class, so obviously others picked up on it too. I wouldn’t let this deter you from booking this class, but it would have been nice if she’d been more pleasant.

Jose is awesome!!

Jose was one of the best tour guides I ever had. He was hilarious and explained everything so well. He made the entire tour extremely interesting, and he had this incredible way of relaying over a ton of information. I am a huge fan of his, and already told my friends how epic he was!!

A trip to remember!

Shiva was the most amazing tour guide ever. I have been to 41 countries and his wealth of knowledge rivals none. He was pleasant and tolerant of all travel companions despite tardiness. He made sure we enjoyed every aspect of the trip and even offered advice as to other non tour activities a true pleasure! Always a fan of a UNESCO heritage site! Best tour! A must see!

Beautiful music and delightful dinner!

Prepare to be impressed! The Fortress is amazing and the dinner was delightful! We adored the concert and the musicians were entertaining; you could really tell they love what they are doing. The music was fabulous and filled the concert room. Would highly recommend!

Johanna_C, Mar 2026

Outstanding!

I really have no words to do this concert justice. I am not an avid classical music fan but I do like Mozart and they also played Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, which I love. It was breathtaking. A moment/feeling I will never forget. The musicians are world class. Don’t miss the opportunity to see them perform. You won’t be disappointed!

Johannes, our guide, was really knowledgeable. He took the time to bring us around and shared the history of the area, as well as lives of the people living there now. He brought us to a beautiful viewpoint for a photo, as well as recommended a cosy local shop for some schnapps. It was a nice surprise, considering I was only expecting to be brought to the salt mine. My husband and I really enjoyed the trip and will definitely love to bring our children for the trip in the future!

Top evening in Salzburg

This was a lovely experience. Service on the boat and at the dinner was excellent. We enjoyed the boat doing a few Strauss twirls! Dinner was most excellent in the fortress and the concert was superb - such talent and a good mix of shorter classical pieces set in the most stunning room. We were so glad we got to do this - very memorable and totally worth doing!
