It was a good tour. Michaela did a great job. The amount of knowledge she has on the actual Von Trapp family, the actors, and the movie creation was really impressive. It made for an interesting trip around the Salzburg area.
The Context Salzburg "Sound of Music" tour was a highlight of my visit to Salzburg. It will be so enjoyable to watch the movie again and recognize all of the beautiful and unique settings. Particularly the church where Maria and the Captain married. I just can't say enough good things about the fascinating details we learned. The countryside around Salzburg where the movie was filmed was breathtaking. It's a don't-miss Context tour! Michaela was Marvelous!
A first-rate, well-organized, thoughtful tour. Michaela was gracious, knowledgeable, and accommodated our specific interests.
