On the way to Salzburg you will not stop taking pictures of the beautiful lakes and peaks.

Enjoy the chilling of the Residence Square with the famous Residence Fountain, the most famous fountain in the city, chosen for the «I have confidence in me» song. You will take picture of the Summer Riding School, where the Trapp family took part in the world-famous Salzburg music festival and enjoy the silence of the oldest cemetery in Austria by the Sankt Peter´s Monastery. Here the Trapp family finds a secure hiding place before escaping to Italy. As the city in which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born and grew up, Salzburg can fairly claim the title of City of Mozart. Just be ready to bump into Mozart around almost every corner as well. From outside you will also see the Nonnberg convent, that became famous thanks to voice of Maria Kutschera.

It was great to see some of the places where the show was filmed, i liked seeing the church but disappointed the tour guide didnt take us to the original church where Maria got married in the film. Loved Mirabell gardens & mozarts birth place.

I’m not sure I would call this a Sound of Music Tour as it was more a history tour of Vienna, Austria with a touch of Sound and Mozart. You visit some of the sights from the movie but the ones you really want to visit - the Abby, the Von Trapp residents - well you don’t get to see. The Von Trapp residents is now a hotel that you drive by and the guide did not prepare us to get our camera ready to snap a photo. Also - this was a 12+ hour bus tour. I’m not opposed to small children attending but there was an under 14 month old child on the bus that cried for a few hours on the tour, making it hard to hear and enjoy. I applaud the parents for taking a child this young on a tour this long but I was more concerned for the safely of the child as La Vacanza Travel had no car seat on the bus. 12 hours and no car seat? I’m from the US so maybe this is standard practice?

1. This was supposed to be the Sounds of Movies tour but our guide only wanted to talk about Mozart. For Sound of music she would just say oh it’s over there but who cares? No time for photos for sound of music but plenty for Mozart. This is not fair or as advertised. 2. We were 7 people squished into a van and the middle person in the back could not see or photograph anything. .3. The guide was in the first van and we did not hear most of the time anything she was saying. Our contract said we would receive a guided tour there and back. Because I complained the guide drove with us on the way back to repeat what she said on the way there. This still only left us with a guided tour for half the driving time. The description says there and back. Also we were then 9 people in the van now which was too crowded for a 3 hour drive.We should have been told 24 hours before that it would be two mini vans with no actual guide in our vehicle and let us decide. We would have cancelled for sure. The 7Travel person I spoke with when I called to complain while at the rest stop told me it was a mistake to make us use the audio guides in the vehicles. But his solution was not helpful nor did it fulfill the description of the tour as promised.We are all 4 if us senior citizens, two if ys are overweight and one is 88 years old. Travelling on a bus would have been easier than crawling into the back of a crowded basic mini van with limited air circulation.
