For fans of the iconic film The Sound of Music, Salzburg is more than just a picturesque city — it’s the real-life stage for one of the most beloved musicals of all time. On this private tour, you’ll step into the world of Maria, the von Trapps, and Julie Andrews, guided by a local expert who knows the film’s behind-the-scenes secrets and historical context.

Start your tour at Mirabell Gardens, where the famous Do-Re-Mi sequence was filmed. Your guide will take you through the beautifully manicured paths and show you exactly where each scene took place. From there, hop in a private vehicle and explore other iconic locations such as:

• The Leopoldskron Palace (used as the von Trapp family home exterior)
• The Gazebo at Hellbrunn Palace, where “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” was filmed
• The Nonnberg Abbey, where the real Maria von Trapp was a novice

But this tour goes beyond the movie. Your guide will also talk about the real von Trapp family, their escape from Austria, and how their story was adapted for Broadway and Hollywood.

Want to sing along? Your guide may even bring along lyrics and encourage a little car karaoke if you’re in the mood! Whether you’re a superfan or just love cinematic history, this private tour offers the perfect balance of nostalgia, scenery, and story — all with Salzburg’s stunning landscapes as your backdrop.
