What you'll see and do
Schloss Mirabell & Mirabellgarten
Short visit to the Mirabell Gardens, either before or after the tour. Jump up and down the Do-Re-Mi steps and see the famous Pegasus fountain, where Maria and the Von Trapp kids danced around. Also, don’t miss the hedge maze tunnel on your right when walking towards the fortress for more breathtaking views of the city of Salzburg.
Schloss Leopoldskron
Photo stop at Schloss Leopoldskron. Enjoy from across the lake the beautiful view of the palace and the fortress as picture-perfect backdrop. Although the interior shootings were done in the studios, Hollywood used the beautiful Rococo Palace terrace as the perfect setting for Maria and the Baron dancing during the ball scene. The lake is also famous for the boat scene, where Maria and the children fell off the boat.
Photo stop at Hellbrunn Park, see the Original Gazebo, capturing the most romantic scene during the Sound of Music film when Liesl gets her first kiss while singing 16 going on 17.
Mondsee
At Mondsee you will visit the beautiful Basilica of St. Michael where Maria and Georg von Trapp got married in the movie: a must-see for any Sound of Music fan. Also, make sure to taste some apple strudel - before you make your own - while exploring this picturesque lakeside town during your 50 minutes of free time.
Salzburg
Edelweiss Cooking Class. After your Original Sound of Music Tour singing Edelweiss and My Favorite Things, it's time for making your own apple strudel. From our Bus Terminal, it is about 10 minutes walk to the cooking class (map on the voucher). Take part in all stages of preparation – of course also enjoying the lavish dessert at the end. Traditional goulash soup (vegetarian or vegan options also available) will be also served for lunch before you are indulging in your own baked delicacies.

Such a fun day out...
Such a fun day out traveling through Salzburg, singing and seeing the sites of the movie! The cooking class after was a bit of a walk uphill but once there we made our own delicious Austrian desserts.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a fun day exploring the beautiful sights of Salzburg, singing along to the famous songs, and discovering the iconic filming locations of *The Sound of Music*! It's wonderful that you also enjoyed the Austrian cooking class and had the chance to create your own delicious desserts. We appreciate your feedback about the uphill walk to the cooking class and are happy that the sweet experience made it worthwhile! Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Salzburg for another memorable adventure!

Such a great experience!
As fans of the movie, this tour really had everything. It was conveniently located near our accomodation and was well organised from start to finish. Getting to visit key filming locations from the movie was surreal and our tour guide, Simon, was incredibly knowledgeable of the story behind the movie. Paired with his timely sense of humour, it was an extremely enjoyable experience! Following on, we finished our day with the cooking classes, recreating classic Austrian dishes. The class was well-paced with our demonstrator taking us through each dish and then giving us the chance to try it ourselves. It was so nice to finish, eating our dishes with the group and getting to chat with other travellers. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a culinary experience in Salzburg!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience combining our *Sound of Music* tour with the Edelweiss Cooking Class. It’s fantastic to know that visiting the famous filming locations, along with Simon’s knowledge and humor, helped make the day special for you. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him! We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the cooking class and the opportunity to prepare and share traditional Austrian dishes with fellow travelers. Bringing people together through food and experiences is exactly what we hope to create. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Salzburg for more unforgettable moments! Warm regarts, Panorama Tours

Fun and informative
April was our tour guide and made the tour fun and memorable. She combined conversation about the filming history with sight seeing and singing to keep us occupied for 2 hours. We're still singing a day later! Thanks for a great time 😄
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that April made your tour both fun and memorable. Her unique blend of filming history, sightseeing, conversation, and singing truly creates a one-of-a-kind experience. The fact that you're still singing a day later is the best compliment we could ask for! We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to April. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!

Two different reviews one OK and one very good.
Maybe I said that managed my expectations. The trip was OK. It was nice to see where the movie was filmed. It would’ve been great to be able to go into the gazebo. But I understand there are so many people that come throughthe tour. It’s difficult. I have issues with the description of the tour. I booked a cooking class along with the sound of music tour. The tour guide had very little information and there was confusion in regard to a lunch and beverage that was to be included. The was provided at the cooking class, but not until after 3 o’clock. In regard to the beverages, I was asked to pay for a beverage. That was not provided at either of the tour or cooking class. It clearly stated that a beverage was included. The cooking class was very good. Our instructor was friendly professional, and understood how to teach class properly. I thought we were only going to bemaking apple strudel, but we also made nockerl . I will definitely recommend the cooking class, but I can honestly say I will not recommend the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the cooking class and that you found the instructor friendly, professional, and helpful. It’s also great to know you would recommend this part of the experience. Regarding the tour description and the inclusion of beverages, we would like to clarify that no drink is included in the tour or the cooking class. This is also not listed as an inclusion on our official website or on any of our partner websites. We understand how this may have led to confusion, and we regret any misunderstanding this may have caused during your experience. We appreciate your comments, as they help us ensure that all information provided to guests remains as clear and accurate as possible.

Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salzburg.
How much does Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg cost?
+
Prices start at $166 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 Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salzburg, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg?
+
Around 7 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg 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.
What is included in Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg?
+
Included: 1.5-hour Cooking Class (learn to make apple strudel); 4-hour Original Sound of Music Tour; Live Guided; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Traditional goulash soup (vegetarian/vegan options also available). Not included: Beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg?
+
Salzburg Panorama Kiosk at Mirabell Platz, corner Hubert Sattler Gasse in front of St Andra Church Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Original Sound of Music Tour & Edelweiss Cooking Class Salzburg?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
