Experience the Wonders of My Private Guided Tours

My Sound of Music - Trapp Family van-walking tour costs 600 Euro per private group up to 4 people or 150 Euro/person for a semi-private tour shared with up to 3 other guests (the van can hold up to 4 guests). Ages 12 and up are welcome. Please look above for all the other relevant information about this tour. One unique special perk of this van & walking tour is that I will 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 an all-season/all-day (8 hours on average) 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. It is a historically fascinating area to see! 

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.
