I released my inner Maria!
What an amazing experience!!! The hotel is gorgeous and you get to spend as much time in the main house and gardens, and the grounds and views are stunning - as well as being the locations!!!! The sound of music tour is good and gives you time at a lot of the main sites, takes you through the mountains to where the wedding was filmed, and a drive by the do-re-mi bridge, Nonnburg Abbey and the house front. Good info about the filming too and lots of singing fun! We did our own exploring of the other locations within the city which are a short walk away from where the tour finishes. I’m so glad I did this tour - it was one of my favourite things!!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the beautiful hotel, gardens, breathtaking views, and the many iconic filming locations. It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the stories about the production, the journey through the mountains, and all the singing fun along the way. We’re especially happy that the experience became one of the highlights of your visit—thank you for joining us!

Lakefront RV Cottage in Parry Sound #2: There was rodent fesis in the sink and the cupboards
Our experience with FLC Group and Mills Lake RVs was extremely disappointing.( July 2026) We arrived at approximately 10:00 p.m. in the rain with our three children. We had been told that the RV would either be unlocked or that a key would be left for us. Unfortunately, neither was true. We had to contact the host, but due to poor cellular service we first had to drive to an area with reception before we could make the call. As a result, we were unable to access the unit until approximately 10:30 p.m., leaving our children wet, cold, and uncomfortable. Once inside, it became clear that the RV did not match the condition shown in the listing photos. The unit appeared worn and poorly maintained. There were no blinds in the main living area, there was not enough cutlery for our family, and there were no cereal bowls. More concerning were the cleanliness and sanitation issues. We found significant amounts of rodent feces inside the cupboards, rodent feces in the sink, black mold around the windows, and a strong sewage odor throughout the unit. These conditions made the RV unsuitable for our family. The most disappointing part of our experience was the lack of customer service. After documenting these issues, we requested a full refund, but the host did not respond to our request in a meaningful way or take responsibility for the condition of the property. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend booking with FLC Group. We expected a clean, safe, and accurately represented accommodation, but unfortunately our experience fell well short of those expectations.

Amazing experience!
Unconditionally recommended for any Sound of Music fan! The staff of Panorama Tours took care of all bookings, into the hotel on the grounds of Leopoldskron, to the pickup at the hotel, to the tour itself. Staying at Leopoldskron was totally worth it. The palace and grounds are amazing, plus we got to stand at the actual seahorse gate from the movie! The tour consisted of one bus, about 50 people. Our guide was amazing! We visited all the sights we could, those that are public property. Some places were private property, and we could not visit. I appreciate that the tour respected private property. This includes the seahorse gate. Those on the tour who did not stay at Leopoldskron could only gaze upon the gate from across the pond. On the tour, we had some free some time to explore each location, and souvenir shop. The tour ended in the heart of Salzburg, so we had more time to explore the city before catching a taxi back to Leopoldskron.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear you had such an amazing experience at Schloss Leopoldskron and enjoyed the seamless arrangements, tour, and guide. It’s great that you appreciated the respect for private property and the time to explore Salzburg. Warm regards, Your Salzburg Panorama Tours Team

Trip of a Lifetime -- dreams fulfilled
This stay was a dream come true. To actually be ON property where iconic outdoor scenes were filmed. Most beautiful view from any hotel I have ever stayed at. The breakfast was amazing and served in the beautiful ballroom at the palace. the hotel rooms were very plain, need updating with charging outlets for devices, and needs new carpeting and a paint refresh. Long walk from elevator to our rooms. No food available to us all day as nearby restaurants were closed and didn't open until 6pm. We ordered delivery 3x at great cost to us. a Shuttle to town would have been nice instead of taking an uber every time. SOM tour was amazing, our guide "Kylie" was fantastic. The stop prior to Mondsee the porta potties were disgusting and unusable. IF this is a typical stop for this bus company, maybe they should arrange for them to be usable? Some locations are just a drive-by from a distance, was somewhat disappointing. We never received our "welcome drink" when I asked the front desk about it, she said "oh, that is the waters in your room", I don't think so as they were replenished daily.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent tour experience. We apologize if our tour did not meet your expectations. It is always our goal to provide informative, engaging, and well-organized tours. Please know that your feedback is valuable to us, as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with an exceptional tour experience. Best regards, Your Salzburg Panorama Tours Team

2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salzburg.
How much does 2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $587 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salzburg usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salzburg is not rushed.
Is 2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Salzburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salzburg can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salzburg and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2- or 3-Night Schloss Leopoldskron Stay in Salzburg Including 'The Sound of Music' Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salzburg within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salzburg?
+
On Outty we rank every Salzburg experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Austrian Apple Strudel Cooking Class including Lunch in Salzburg, Salzburg Oldtown: Sightseeing Walking Tour with Licensed Local Guide, Salzburg: Palace Concert at the Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salzburg?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salzburg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
