We started our day with the Original Sound of music tour, where both our bus driver (Ferdinand) and our tour guide (Bridget) were FANTASTIC! Both of them were so personable, and kept us interested in the history of the movie and the history of the city! They were so fun, and although our tour started early, made the whole experience worth it! Tour provided great views, and great historical significance!
We finished the day at a Salt Mine tour with Leo, and while what we signed up for was just a basic tour, what we got was THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Salzburg, the world wars, and even US/British history! We were so lucky to be the only family on his tour, and instead of just letting us roam freely, he took us all around the town and explained everything we saw/everything we tried to eat/drink! He provided us with more knowledge in the few hours we spent with him, than anyone else we have met throughout Europe! I HIGHLY recommend Leo, and I truly think he was the sole reason our Salt mine tour was worth the trip!!! If you are touring the salt mines with Panorama PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favor and ask for Leo—You won’t regret it!!!
