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 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).

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
