This luxury, personalized tour is designed to give you the flexibility to pick and choose the venues, including where to go for lunch.Start your day with a pickup from your Salzburg accommodations by your guide and driver. Walk through the Mirabell gardens, famous across the world for the Do-Re-Mi scenes filmed here. See the Pegasus fountain and dwarf garden, as well as statues from Roman and Greek mythology. Drive up to one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the city, immortalised in Do-Re-Mi, with a fantastic view over the entire city of Salzburg and its millennium fortress. Take the elevator down to the historic town centre and stroll with your guide past the horse baths, festival halls and through the St Peters cemetery which inspired the escape scenes in the musical “The Sound of Music”.
Walk past the cathedral and under the same arches as Maria in "I Have Confidence", and then onto the Residence square. Meet your driver again at the Mozart Footbridge which Maria and the children ran over wearing their curtain clothes. Head back in the luxury minivan and make a photo stop near Maria’s Abbey on your way to Leopoldskron Palace. After a short stop at Leopoldskron, drive on to the palace of Hellbrunn where you will have the chance to visit the original gazebo and gardens. Then, leave the city and drive south into the stunning Bavarian mountains where the opening scene was filmed. Now is your chance to spin in the field, reenacting the opening scene.
Afterwards, head to the top of the Sound of Music trail, where the picnic scene from the movie was shot. Enjoy a short rest here, along with the magnificent panoramic view. Drive back into the town of Werfen where you will have a short picture stop and get a close-up view of the Fortress Hohenwerfen. In the town of Werfen, there are several lunch options ranging from typical Austrian cuisine to one of the most exclusive restaurants in Europe: “Obauer”.
