Overview

Dive into the real-life of the Von Trapp family on this private Viator Exclusive that can’t be booked anywhere else!
Filmed in Salzburg and the lake district of Salzkammergut, the 1965 musical film was a hit worldwide, using stunning settings that were as captivating as the storyline itself.
Visit ‘The Sound of Music’ film locations, starting out with the SOM city sights such as the Gazebo in Hellbrunn, Palace of Frohnburg in the Hellbrunn Alley .. before you enjoy a guided 50-minute tour through the famous Palace of Leopoldskron – a sublime example of Rococo beauty – and one of the film sites. Continue your day on a high note with a photo stop by Mondsee Parish Church, where the film's romantic wedding was set. The perfect place to end a perfect day before heading back to the city of Salzburg

Our guide Helenka was extremely knowledgable, thorough, kind and enthusiastic throughout the day. Breakfast at Schloss Leopoldskron was such a wonderful way to begin a day celebrating a film that is such a part of so many lives and the day continued to exceed our expectations and make us feel as though we 'lived' the film. Thank you.

While expensive this private tour provided so much more than the "bus tour" this company also provides. If you can afford this I highly recommend.
