Easy to book. Staff was friendly and guides were mature, from the local area and very knowledgeable.

Peter was an excellent guide for the Sound of Music tour. It was very fun. We also had a great time in the Salt Mines. Our guide was very nice and with our small group he was very attentive to help us get going and find our way in the village we visited after our salt mine tour.

Fantastic guide on Sound of Music Tour. Shared a lot of information that was new to me. Would recommend to my best friends. Salt mine trip was unusual experience. It was more fun than expected with slides and boatride inside mountain.

This was an exceptional day tour - with the Sound of Music, saw some breathtaking views of the mountains and learned more on the history and impact that the movie had on the region. The salt mines were beyond anything I would've expected to see. Additionally, the pickup area for both tours is in the middle of an exquisite food market - highly recommend anyone looking for fresh food to shop here - heads up, it is cash only.

The salt mine trip was extremely enjoyable , sound of music was also enjoyable and our guide Bredgit ( i hope i had her name correctly) made the trip so much fun and joyful

Very easy to book, to find directions. Our tour guide was amazing. Kept us informed all the way supplied drinks which was good.

The Sound of Music Tour was fabulous. Great guide and bus operator. Lots of fun facts shared. Hit all the major locations the film was shot. The guide for the salt mine tour was not good. He did not choose to use the microphone so that everyone in the van could hear. Only the couple in the from seat could hear. The actual tour at the mine was great. Very interesting. A long ride to and from to not be able to hear the van driver.

Informative, well-paced and never a dull moment! We enjoyed having the knowledgeable Peter as our guide for the Sound of Music, and a charismatic host for the afternoon tour. He had lots of facts to share on the whole drive to and from the mines (with some scenic stops).

Antonio was a great and enthusiastic guide. Very approachable and cheerful! The weather cooperated as well.

Birgit was our guide for the morning tour to Berchtesgaden Salt Mine to begin our full day tour ( which also included Sound of Music in the afternoon). There were only us (2) and another english couple on the tour. She was a wonderful host, focused on ensuring we were well informed and having a great time. She was always able to provide helpful information and answer our questions and pointed out other sights on the way. We enjoyed the salt mine tour especially the train, slides and boat ride over the lake. A fun morning out with added value from Birgit. What we didn’t realise is there was going to be an opportunity to be guided by Birgit in the afternoon also. But, we returned for our second tour a little early and got scooped up by another guide. This tour was very disappointing and tarnished the shine for the day. On some stops the relevance wasn’t clearly explained and it all felt a bit like the guide was going through the motions and just driving us, rather than guiding. There was also a racist “joke”, that we really didn’t appreciate.

The guide worked exceptionally hard to make the trip fun and convey the story behind the making of the movie Sound of Music. All the locations were beautiful and worth visiting just by themselves, and the stories about the movie filming made it that much better.

Our guides were superb, such a history lesson for the salt mines and the surrounding area plus all the location information on the Sound of Music (even though I've never seen the film). Fully recommend - even when it's raining

Loved the Sound of Music tour and the Salt Mines of Berchesgarten were awesome! Fascinating and informative. Your guide was exceptional

The experience was excellent. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the beautiful landscape of this mountainous region and its surrounds. Gerard and Brigitte were excellent and very knowledgeable guides and this enhanced our experience and made it very special.

Really glad we did both! The Sound of Music tour was funny and interesting. We had a fantastic and enthusiastic guide who was engaging throughout (April). The Salt Mine tour was a surprise in the best way. Long day, but not to be missed if you have the time

Our guide Mitch for Sound of Music tour was hilarious. The salt mines tour was an eye opener. The scenery everywhere was glorious. Would recommend!

This two-part tour has two reviews. The first part of the day in the Original Sound of Music portion was great. We had a wonderful guide Batina. She was very engaging and upbeat the entire tour. There were songs played on the bus and she even reenacted The Lonely Goatherd for our entertainment – you have to experience it. Overall, if you have not seen the Sound of Music watch it before this trip. Otherwise this trip will not make much sense to you. And be prepared to sing along! The tour takes you around to the different sites where the movie was filmed. Insight is provided on what was real and what was movie magic! It was a lot of fun and I recommend this portion of the tour. The second half of the tour in the Salt Mines was not quite as enjoyable. Our guide Walter that drove the van of 8 people was very informative on the ride out to the salt mines. There was a recent snow fall and there was some lovely scenery to be photographed along the way. But when we got to the salt mine that is where the experience was somewhat of a letdown. After changing into our coveralls (to protect our clothing) we were not given much direction after that. There were a few other much larger tours at the salt mine that we were grouped with. We were handed a handheld receiver that would be our guide (in English). The larger groups were then boarded onto the train first and we were the last people to get on the train that would go into the mine. We were not instructed how to get on the train and there was no consideration for my elderly mother to provide her access to properly get on the train which involved sitting on the seat like a horse ride. With a replaced hip she needed more assistance to be able to swing her leg over the seat and she ended up falling trying to get on the train seat. Then they did not give us any warning or directions that there was going to be a “group photo” taken before the train left the boarding area – so we were not looking in the direction of the camera. The lady shooting the photo would not retake the picture either after I told her we did not know she was taking a picture as we were just boarding the train. Then once the train arrived at the drop off site the handheld receiver guide was not working so we had no idea what we were doing there. A lightshow of some sort came on and there was no explanation as to where we were. But there was a man speaking in German from the salt mine the whole time unfortunately we did not understand his presentation the entire time in the mine. Next thing we know we are to get on a slide and go down further into the salt mine. The slide was the only fun part. When we arrived at the bottom of the slide the German speaking guide continued speaking in German and we still did not understand anything. The receiver finally turned on halfway through his presentation and a few words in English were spit out the receiver, but the explanation was like 30 seconds long while the Austrian Guide spoke for like 5 minutes. This continued throughout the tour in the salt mine. So we were not well informed about the history and the activities of the salt mine. Then we came to the end of the salt mine tour where we had to get back on the train and there was no space to get on. The large tour group that we were bunched into were not leaving any space available. We had to squeeze into a spot that was barely enough space for my elderly mother to climb into. After arriving back to the starting point we were rather disappointed in this experience. From here we departed to go to a little town called Bertchesgaden for a stop to have coffee. However everything was closed – this stop was a waste of 60 minutes. I would have rathered just returned directly to Salzburg – the sun was already setting for the day when we arrived there and we would have more useful time back in Salzburg. I would not recommend the salt mine experience. Uncouple the two and just do the Original Sound of Music portion.

Our tour guides were fantastic and we were able to see so much of the area in one day. If you have limited time, we highly recommend this tour.

The tour guide for the drive to Eagles Nest/Salt Mines was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and organized
