If you're a fan of The Sound of Music, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Michael! He’s friendly, witty, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing every filming location to life with fascinating details and fun anecdotes. From iconic hillsides to charming villages, Michael made sure we didn’t miss a single spot. He also has a great eye for photos and insisted on capturing memories for us at every stop, which made the day even more special. It was a full day of joy, laughter, and nostalgia. If you're looking for a comprehensive, entertaining, and heartfelt journey through the world of The Sound of Music, Michael is your guy. The hills were alive—and so were our spirits!
Javier Y.United States
Our family of six, 3 couples, booked the “The Hills are Alive” tour with Michael and we couldn’t be any happier. He is very knowledgeable, flexible and accommodating. Also, Michael displayed a good attitude and sense of humor which is always welcoming and positive to make an 8 hour tour even more enjoyable. He had a great lunch stop recommendation for a warm soup on a cold afternoon. When visiting Salzburg, Vienna, don’t hesitate to contact Michael, and book one of his tours to your liking; you won’t be disappointed!

Our tour guide, Michael Toth was fantastic. Very fun tour around Salzburg and up into and through the mountain and lake areas. Nice and super clean van. Michael is friendly and has a good sense of humor.
Michael S.United States
Michael gave us a great Sound of Music Tour! The hills were alive with his knowledge, inside stories and humor regarding both the movie and Salzburg. He took us to many iconic sights and into the countryside to see life in the hills all while listening to songs from the movie. We loved it highly recommend Michael!
