Experience the Wonders of My Private Guided Tours

My Sound of Music - Trapp Family private E-bike tour costs 150 euro/person. Ages 14 and up are welcome in a private group. Please scroll up for all the other relevant information! If you prefer instead of being on E-bikes, to do this tour as a van & walking version to the same locations for the same price, that is fine too! One added perk of this van & walking version is that I will also take you up to the beautiful hilltop meadow area where Julie Andrews twirled around at the beginning of the film! It is located about a 20 minutes' drive up in the foothills outside of Salzburg.

I also offer a private 6-hour E-bike or van & walking tour of Salzburg for those who are not fans of the Sound of Music and who still wish to see all the most interesting places in the old town of Salzburg and the surrounding countryside, without me telling any information about the film or the Trapp Family Singers. We therefore take an extended route in the countryside a little ways outside of Salzburg compared to my Sound of Music tour, while still visiting all the rural palaces, old town and other beautiful locations we normally go to on that tour in Salzburg. This E-bike tour also costs 150 euro per person and is open to ages 14 and up.

I also offer an all-season/all-day (8 hours on average) separate private van and walking tour for up to 4 guests to Hitler's Eagle's Nest and the surrounding area, which is a just a lovely 40 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 around Obersalzberg, including Hitler's Berghof mountain retreat house site (where he spent a third of the war up until it 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 Trapp family hike up over the mountains to escape the Nazis).  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 (3 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. Please write me below for more details. It is a historically fascinating area to see! 

Additionally, I further offer an all-season/all-day (8 hours on average) private van 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. 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. The tour is fully customizable.
