Carlos is the best! - If you are like me and have always dreamed of the Sound of music experience in Salzburg, I can assure you that you will never choose a better experience than this private Hills are alive tour. The icing on top of the cake was Carlos as our guide! The extra steps he took all day to make sure we were both educated and able to check off every box on our wish list was so appreciated. His knowledge not only with the movie itself, the movie locations, but all of Austria’s history made our tour the best of our 15 day trip to Europe! Thank you Carlos for making my dreams come true! Never stop taking that extra step to make your tourist feel so special it is truly appreciated!

Expensive but worth it! - Amazing tour with Michael. We went to so many sites from the movie that can't be done with a big bus tour. He was very knowledgeable about details of the movie and played perfectly timed songs as we approached the sites. I highly recommend this tour - it was expensive but worth it!

Magical sound of music trip with Carlos - Our trip was utterly fantastic. We saw so many of the special sights of the sound of music both in Salzburg and in the hills. Carlos was interesting, knowledgeable and did everything he could to give us a magical experience!

The Hills Are Alive Private Tour - When you wait years to make a trip to Austria, you hold your breathe til it becomes a reality…. This experience did NOT disappoint. Michael asked what we needed & had additional plans! A family of teens and adults brought challenges, but he was ready for it! The landscape itself is beautiful enough. But the information & fun tips were an added bonus. I can’t rate any higher.

Phenomenal Private Tour for Sound of Music Fans - My wife and I did the private “The Hills Are Alive” tour with Carlos, and it was unforgettable. Carlos was EXCEPTIONAL—his knowledge of the film, the real filming locations, and behind-the-scenes trivia was absolutely PHENOMENAL. We visited all the famous spots, but what made this tour truly unique were the off-the-beaten-path locations big buses can’t access—like seeing the actual mountaintop where Julie Andrews sang “The Hills Are Alive.” Standing there was magical. Carlos made every stop meaningful, blending history, scenery, and film lore seamlessly. His passion and enthusiasm were infectious, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. If you love the movie—or just want a once-in-a-lifetime Salzburg tour—this is it.

A great day with a great guide - What an amazing day! We are touring Austria with a large group but decided to take a private tour on a free day. Michael was amazing! He was patient when we had a mixup with the pickup location due to our tour changing our hotel after initial booking. The van was very comfortable and Michael drove safely. We got to see so many locations relevant to the movie while Michael shared stories. We even went back to a couple spots we visited with our large group, but Michael shared even more information about those sites and made the whole day memorable and enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

Full day trip, not - Prompt collection and very prompt drop off. Beautiful scenery, not enough information given throughout the day. Driver nice bit of a grumpy driver. Felt we didnt see everything was our choice 2 areas we pick as he couldnt do both. Pricey trip experience of a lifetime. Not value for money. Feel we paid far too much. We had to pay xtra ourselves to see other areas. And lunch should be included in the price.
