Maria_P, Oct 2024
From the very start, our driver Tomas was welcoming and patient. Breakfast at our hotel was a little busier than we expected and he waited for us to finish, and then began our tour. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and Tomas was a good driver, making us feel safe and confident traveling with him. Our drive included wonderful and informative conversation -- we felt we made a friend by the end of the day! He took several photos for us and was accommodating to our sightseeing requests. He even bought us some famous Mozart chocolates to enjoy! The sights in Salzburg were beautiful, but Tomas made our day that much more memorable. Vielen dank!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Hi, Maria! Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We're delighted to hear that Tomas made your day in Salzburg truly special. His patience, friendliness, and attention to detail certainly shine through your experience. It's great to know that you felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey, and that Tomas went the extra mile to make it even more memorable with thoughtful gestures like taking photos and gifting you Mozart chocolates! We're thrilled that you felt like you made a friend by the end of the day. Vielen Dank for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable experience!
Itinerary
Schloss Mirabell & Mirabellgarten
The iconic song "Do Re, Mi" was partly recorded at Mirabell Palace. A visit to the gardens will bring back memories of Maria and the von Trapp children dancing around the Pegasus Fountain, jumping up and down the steps and running through the hedge tunnel. Your private driver is delighted to arrange brief stop for capturing unforgettable photos.
1 hourStift Nonnberg
Nonnberg Abbey is the oldest convent north of the Alps and is where the real Maria became a novice nun and married Georg von Trapp. Four scenes from the film were filmed here: the scene where the nuns sing "Maria" in the courtyard, Maria leaving the abbey, the children visiting her at the abbey and the Nazis hunting the von Trapps. Your local driver is ready to create short stop for those perfect photos.
1 hourFelsenreitschule
The Rock Riding School (Felsenreitschule) is Salzburg’s most popular concert venue and it’s where the real von Trapp family won the Salzburg Music Festival in 1936. Fans will recognise this location from the scene where the Captain sings “Edelweiss” and his family joins him on stage to sing “So Long, Farewell”.
30 minutesSchloss Leopoldskron
Leopoldskron Palace is one of the most important filming locations of The Sound of Music, which you should not miss on your themed day trip. The majestic palace and perfect backdrops overlooking the lake served as the main location for filming all the scenes on the lake terrace of the Von Trapp family home. Today, the palace is a boutique hotel.
1 hourSchloss Frohnburg
Frohnburg Palace played an important role in the Sound of Music as it was one of the two filming locations for the von Trapp Villa. Once a private residence, the palace is now a Music Academy.
1 hourVilla Trapp
Although was not a filming location, it would be a shame to miss it on your day trip. The real von Trapp family lived here for 15 years. They managed to board a train at the nearby station to escape the Nazis the day before the Austrian borders were closed. Today, the von Trapp villa is a hotel and an educational Sound of Music museum about the real von Trapp family, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the movie. Capture the moment with a brief photo stop, just one of the exclusive perks awaiting you with our private transfer services.
30 minutesSchloss Hellbrunn
Just outside the city centre is Hellbrunn Palace, home of the Sound of Music pavilion. This is where a romantic scene from The Sound of Music was filmed, when Liesl gets her first kiss while singing "16 going on 17". Visitors cannot enter the pavilion, but they can take as many pictures as they like around it.
