Really glad we did both! The Sound of Music tour was funny and interesting. We had a fantastic and enthusiastic guide who was engaging throughout (April). The Salt Mine tour was a surprise in the best way. Long day, but not to be missed if you have the time

Deanna_C

Our guide Mitch for Sound of Music tour was hilarious. The salt mines tour was an eye opener. The scenery everywhere was glorious. Would recommend!

Morgan_S

This two-part tour has two reviews. The first part of the day in the Original Sound of Music portion was great. We had a wonderful guide Batina. She was very engaging and upbeat the entire tour. There were songs played on the bus and she even reenacted The Lonely Goatherd for our entertainment – you have to experience it. Overall, if you have not seen the Sound of Music watch it before this trip. Otherwise this trip will not make much sense to you. And be prepared to sing along! The tour takes you around to the different sites where the movie was filmed. Insight is provided on what was real and what was movie magic! It was a lot of fun and I recommend this portion of the tour. The second half of the tour in the Salt Mines was not quite as enjoyable. Our guide Walter that drove the van of 8 people was very informative on the ride out to the salt mines. There was a recent snow fall and there was some lovely scenery to be photographed along the way. But when we got to the salt mine that is where the experience was somewhat of a letdown. After changing into our coveralls (to protect our clothing) we were not given much direction after that. There were a few other much larger tours at the salt mine that we were grouped with. We were handed a handheld receiver that would be our guide (in English). The larger groups were then boarded onto the train first and we were the last people to get on the train that would go into the mine. We were not instructed how to get on the train and there was no consideration for my elderly mother to provide her access to properly get on the train which involved sitting on the seat like a horse ride. With a replaced hip she needed more assistance to be able to swing her leg over the seat and she ended up falling trying to get on the train seat. Then they did not give us any warning or directions that there was going to be a “group photo” taken before the train left the boarding area – so we were not looking in the direction of the camera. The lady shooting the photo would not retake the picture either after I told her we did not know she was taking a picture as we were just boarding the train. Then once the train arrived at the drop off site the handheld receiver guide was not working so we had no idea what we were doing there. A lightshow of some sort came on and there was no explanation as to where we were. But there was a man speaking in German from the salt mine the whole time unfortunately we did not understand his presentation the entire time in the mine. Next thing we know we are to get on a slide and go down further into the salt mine. The slide was the only fun part. When we arrived at the bottom of the slide the German speaking guide continued speaking in German and we still did not understand anything. The receiver finally turned on halfway through his presentation and a few words in English were spit out the receiver, but the explanation was like 30 seconds long while the Austrian Guide spoke for like 5 minutes. This continued throughout the tour in the salt mine. So we were not well informed about the history and the activities of the salt mine. Then we came to the end of the salt mine tour where we had to get back on the train and there was no space to get on. The large tour group that we were bunched into were not leaving any space available. We had to squeeze into a spot that was barely enough space for my elderly mother to climb into. After arriving back to the starting point we were rather disappointed in this experience. From here we departed to go to a little town called Bertchesgaden for a stop to have coffee. However everything was closed – this stop was a waste of 60 minutes. I would have rathered just returned directly to Salzburg – the sun was already setting for the day when we arrived there and we would have more useful time back in Salzburg. I would not recommend the salt mine experience. Uncouple the two and just do the Original Sound of Music portion.

The salt mine tour was so much fun. They take you to a ute little town after as well. The Sound of Music with our tourguide Zoey was fantastic. She sang along to the music, was funny and you could tell she enjoyed her job. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone. This was the highlight of my trip to Salzburg.

sarahjo2023

Had a great tour guide for both; Zoe was excellent and a lot of fun. Walter was also great. Loved the Salt Mine.

Neha_J

Salt mines trip was a total winner. Very unique experience. Great and entertaining guide. Sound of music trip took us through some panaromoic views with interesting snippets from the movie and it's locations. Overall a good day spent!

Regie_M

Loved the salt mine experience. It was very interesting and FUN. Sound of Music tour lacked excitement. Wished it was more about the nostalgia of the movie and less about the reality of the Von Trapp family. More singing, less talking.
