About this tour

Embark on a magical day trip from Vienna and let the beauty of Austria unfold before you from the comfort of your minivan.

As you head toward Salzburg, you’ll be captivated by the breathtaking lakes and mountains of the Salzkammergut region, the heart of “The Sound of Music” country. Pause in the lovely lakeside town of Mondsee to see the beautiful St. Michael’s Basilica (the actual church where Maria’s wedding was filmed), then continue to pretty St. Gilgen, proudly known as the birthplace of Mozart’s mother and perfectly framed by Lake Wolfgang.

Arriving in Salzburg, meet your warm and expert local guide for an enchanting stroll through the city’s most beloved sights. Twirl up the famous Do-Re-Mi steps in Mirabell Gardens, stand in front of Mozart’s birthplace, take in the splendor of Salzburg Cathedral and the serene charm of St. Peter’s Abbey, and savor the original handcrafted Mozartkugel chocolates at the historic Café Fürst.

When the guided portion ends, the rest of the afternoon is yours. Savor a relaxed lunch in a quaint café, hunt for souvenirs in the charming boutiques, or simply wander the fairy-tale streets of this UNESCO World Heritage old town. 

Finally, sit back and relax on a smooth, stress-free minivan journey back to Vienna, with drop-off right at your hotel or apartment door.

Along the way, you’ll have plenty of stops and perfect moments to snap gorgeous photos that will keep this unforgettable day alive forever.
