The Experience

What your day looks like

Let’s start at the very beginning – a very good place to start your tour in Werfen. Upgrade your private Sound of Music Tour experience with the official Sound of Music Hiking Tail – a picture-perfect setting on the very famous DO RE MI meadow where Maria and the children had their picnic. Take in breathtaking views of the famous surrounding Alps as well as the valley with the stunning Hohenwerfen Castle as a perfect backdrop dating back to 1077. Continue your private tour following the traces of the Sound of Music musical film – becoming a worldwide hit and reaching meanwhile cult status – to further film locations in Salzburg City as well as the Lake District. See the Rococo Palace Schloss Leopoldskron from the famous viewpoint across the lake beautifully reflecting the palace in the water. Visit the 16 going on 17 Gazebo in the gardens of Hellbrunn Park as well as the hedge maze in the Mirabell Gardens. Be sure to patter the dwarfs on the head while rounding off the DO RE MI song. Conclude your tour with a drive to the Lakes & Mountain Area enjoying the stunning settings being as captivating as the storyline itself. See the picturesque town of Mondsee with the famous wedding cathedral where the romantic wedding in the movie was filmed - a perfect place to end a perfect day.
