Sound of Music / Hallstatt-Tour

Had a great time seeing the sound of music sights and Hallstatt. Our tour guide was very nice and informative. I learned a lot about the von trapps and sound of music! Hallstatt was incredible. Definitely would recommend.

This was a fantastic day. The small group and the knowledge of the guide was amazing. Definitely a highlight .

This has been a truly outstanding day which exceeded all expectations. Francisca was integral to the success of this tour, possessing an incredible wealth of knowledge and demonstrating such kindness and interest throughout. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that we were the only 2 on the tour, and this worked really well as we kept to our timings and Francisca was able to showcase the natural beauty of this region in a way that felt very customised. It should be noted however that this is a group tour, so we were lucky to be the only ones on this occasion! We had the right amount of time at each stop, allowing us to fully explore Hallstatt, Mondsee and Hellbrunn Palace independently (Hellbrunn was closed for the winter season, but was still a lovely stop to see from outside and to see the Christmas market). We also stopped at various other locations for photos linked to scenes from The Sound of Music, such as where the children fell in the lake, the famous Gazebo and the church in Mondsee. Hallstatt is as beautiful and breathtaking as you could imagine. At the time we arrived, it was just the right amount of busy, not anywhere near overcrowded but not dead either. It is a very walkable town and we were guided on how to reach the famous photo stop and other activities in the town. Mondsee is a charming lakeside village which has a really welcoming atmosphere and the famous St Michael’s Church. Francisca’s knowledge was outstanding. She knew so much about the film, and showed photographs of stills from the movie correlating to the places we were at, as well as sharing images and knowledge about the real world actors and behind the scenes. In addition, Francisca spoke about Austrian Christmas customs, the areas we were driving through, the history of the region and so much more. There was no question she couldn’t answer! Overall, we had an unforgettable day that will keep us buzzing for a while to come. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour, led by a superb guide.
