Sights of Salzburg Tours

My Sound of Music - Von Trapp Family private van-walking tour costs 600 Euro per group for up to 4 people (the van can hold up to 4 guests). For private groups on my Salzburg Sound of Music film location E-bike tour, the cost is 600 euro for any group size up to 4 people. For larger private groups of over 4 guests, each additional person costs 150 Euro, with 15 guests being the maximum number. Please scroll up to the "Tours Overview" section to read all the other relevant information about this tour. One unique special perk of the van-walking tour compared to my E-bike tour of Salzburg is that we can drive up to the beautiful opening scene hilltop meadow area in the van, where Julie Andrews twirled around singing 'The Hills are Alive', which is located about a 20-minute drive up in the foothills outside of Salzburg. There is plenty of time once there to make your own twirling video as well! 

My Sound of Music - Von Trapp Family non-private E-Bike tour of Salzburg costs 150 Euro per person. Ages 14 and up are welcome. The minimum group size is 2 guests, and the maximum total group size is 8. Please scroll up to the "Tours Overview" section to read all the other relevant information about this tour.

I also offer an all-season/all-day (8 hours on average) private van-walking tour for up to 4 guests to Hitler's Eagle's Nest and the surrounding area of Obersalzberg, which is only a gorgeous 35 minutes' drive from Salzburg, customized to your wishes. This also includes visiting the actual bunker & tunnel system at the newly renovated Eagle's Nest documentation center museum there and other WW2 noteworthy areas nearby, including Hitler's Berghof mountain retreat house site (where he spent a third of the war plotting his evil deeds) which was destroyed at the end of the war by the British RAF. For Sound of Music fans, we can also visit the Sound of Music film sites in the mountains in that area, including the opening scene hilltop (where Julie twirls around and sings) and closing scene hilltop (where the Von Trapp family hike up over the mountains to escape the Nazis in the film).  We can also visit the gorgeous Königssee (King Lake) in Berchtesgaden, Germany and even ride an electric boat across the lake if you like, just as was shown at the beginning of the Sound of Music! 

This private tour is reasonably priced at 600 euro. This price does not include the fee for the mandatory Eagle's Nest shuttle bus (33 euro per person/round trip) from the Eagle's Nest parking lot, Eagle's Nest museum/documentation center fee (4.50 euro per person), the Königssee electric boat ride if you wish to go across the lake and back, or for the state park entry (9.50 euro for the whole van) to drive up a breathtaking panoramic road to the final meadow scene hilltop. It is a historically fascinating area to see! 

I further offer an all-season/all-day (8 hours on average) private van-walking tour for up to 4 guests to the gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage village of Hallstatt on Lake Hallstatt, as well as to the surrounding lakes and mountain region, including seeing the St. Michael's Basilica in Mondsee (built in the 1400's), where the wedding scene was filmed in the Sound of Music. It is also possible to visit the spectacular picnic scene meadow in Werfen where Julie Andrews plays the guitar and teaches the children how to sing in the Sound of Music. Like all my tours, this tour can be customized to your individual wishes. We will also visit the lovely villages of St. Gilgen or St. Wolfgang on the magnificent Lake Wolfgang.  We can also take the 35-minute steep train ride up to the top of the Schafberg (Sheep's mountain) from St. Wolfgang, as was shown in the Sound of Music during the journey up to the 'picnic meadow' hillside (but now in a much more modern and electric train than as shown in the film). From there you can see at least 5 huge lakes in the hills and valleys below! (This train ride is a separate cost which you would pay at the steep train ticket office). We also will go to the spectacular Lake Gosau, nestled in the high mountain peak region. This private tour costs 600 euro, which does not include any gondola or funicular fees, in case you wish to get even further up in the mountains to see even more spectacular lookout views over the lakes and mountain tops, as well as also not including any parking fees along the way.
