The Experience

What your day looks like

Come and join us on this wonderful private tour with breath-taking views! See the picturesque World Heritage City of Salzburg as well as the beautiful landscapes where the opening scenes of the movie The Sound of Music was filmed! The enormous success of The Sound of Music Broadway Musical by Rodgers & Hammerstein premiering in 1959 caused film director Robert Wise and 250 crew members to turn Salzburg and its surroundings into a Sound of Music film location in 1964. And it was Salzburg Panorama Tours taking the Sound of a Music film crew to the various locations where the famous movie was filmed – so get all the inside stories and anecdotes first-hand! Right after release, the film became a tremendous success, awarded with 5 Oscars becoming the highest-grossing movie ever and reaching cult status over the years. Both musical and film are based on the "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" written by Maria von Trapp in 1949. So follow the traces of the Trapp family and take a tour through Salzburg and its surroundings. Visit all of the original film settings and learn more about the historical and architectural landmarks of Salzburg as well as the Lake District. We operate our tours either in a minivan (up to 8 passengers) or Mercedes limousine (up to 6 passengers) and are happy to arrange your private tour according to personal interests and individual needs.
