Salzburg was wonderful
Long drive to Salzburg but a wonderful time once there. Several (but not all) movie locations. The town itself was wonderful with many small shops and a great beer garden which was greatly appreciated in 36C (96F) degree heat. Tourguide in Salzburg was very knowledgeable and helpful. She pointed out the best for buying cold water to save several Euros.

Perfect Day!
Alexander did a great job! The tour was a good mix of Dound of Music, all things Austria, Mozart and other composers. Our family had an excellent day!

Salzburg tour highlights
We booked this tour from Vienna due to a love for the Sound of Music! The guide was brilliant and funny and extremely informative! The journey is long but we were aware of that before booking (700km round trip) but there were comfort breaks scheduled. The first stop was at St Michael's basillica (in Mondsee) where the wedding scene was filmed. This was beautiful and I wish we had more time at this area. We then proceeded to Salzburg and had a walking tour that was very informative! we saw some more scenes from the show as well as Mozart's house and his sister's grave and beauiful gardens and churches! it is a beauiful city. The convent was not included in this tour but there was some free time after the tour to explore that ourselves. On return to Vienna we stopped at the famous Gazebo! Overall this was a wonderful day with a very friendly and happy guide. The bus was very clean and comfortable.

Think once, twice and then again
It's a thirteen hour day with practically no time to eat so BRING A PACKED LUNCH - most of the restaurants will be closed when you get back to Vienna. The title of the tour 'Sounds of Music' is mis-leading because it's mostly about Salsburg and Mozart etc. The bus was comfortable apart from the people in front of us who had their seats reclined back too far. The driver was competent. The guide for the day seemed to be knowledgeable with a good command of the English language but wasn't a good speaker, so was difficult to understand. Also, I would describe him as following a script for the day, and so wasn't helpful or particularly nice in anyway. The local guide in Salsburg was similar - don't become unwell or don't ask 'silly' questions - just follow me. Also, you need to be competent in using google maps to get back to the bus pick up point - I'm not but my companion is so it worked out all right, I strongly believe that a tour guide should meet the group at the same point as they part with them. The journey would have been enhanced by showing the film 'The Sound of Music' and/or playing music from it or any music. Despite all that it is a scenic drive with some nice stops on the way and the tiny bit of salsburg that we saw is beautiful

We had a great time! Wish it had focused on the movie more.
We learned a lot about the history of Vienna as well as Salzburg. Mondsee was beautiful and seeing all the movie sites was fun. I appreciated the free time in Salzburg. It could have been better if the guide had played music from the Sound of Music, maybe had a sing-along. Also more trivia from the making of the movie. After all, we are all super-fans of the movie on this excursion.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Vienna is not rushed.
Is Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 86 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna?
+
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 Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna?
+
Around 30 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 Vienna 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 Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sound of Movies: Musical Tour to Salzburg from Vienna 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 Vienna 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 Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Budapest Small-Group Day Trip from Vienna. 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 Vienna?
+
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 Vienna?
+
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.
