John Munson (originally from Lake Forest, Illinois, USA) welcomes you to an all-season interesting, lovely, relaxing, and comprehensive 6-to-7-hour Sound of Music film site E-bike tour for small groups (up to 7 people) of the old city of Salzburg and the surrounding green area within the city limits. See all the breathtaking film sites from the Sound of Music and the most beautiful 400-year-old palaces and green areas in Salzburg, Austria while riding at an easy-going, leisurely pace along the Salzburg valley floor on mostly bike paths which are on flat terrain! We make many stops to take photos and to discuss the filming trivia of those sites, as well as visiting the original Trapp Family home and talking about how their real story compares with the film narrative!
Bicycle riders of all levels of ability are welcome, provided you have confident and competent biking skills and have ridden a bike in the recent past. We cover about 31 km/19 miles over the course of the day adventure. My tour offers you a much more private and personalized tour than any other Sound of Music bike or bus tour offered in Salzburg (which usually have between 15 to 80 guests, respectively). We will take a relaxing 30-minute late lunch break to sit and eat in a lovely Baroque Garden next to several ponds at the charming Hellbrunn Palace or at other picturesque nature locations en route. You can bring your own food to eat, or purchase food "To Go" from one of the many cafes/restaurants that we will pass along the way in Salzburg. Riding E-bikes is a great way to see Salzburg while getting exercise at the same time in the open fresh air, instead of being confined in a bus or van with a lot of people. The great thing is that you can exert whatever amount of effort you wish to because of the various assist levels on the electric bike, as long as you are pedaling (these are not self-propelled E-bikes). The E-bikes provide a very smooth ride with very easy control. In case of inclement weather when it is either too cold (below 45 degrees F.) or rainy (raining hard for much of the day) to ride, I offer the option to shift over to a combined city bus or van & walking version of my tour, using umbrellas and rain gear.
My Sound of Music E-bike tour costs 135 euro/person, with bikes which have baskets for your things, and helmets included. Ages 11 and up are welcome.
I also offer an all-season/all-day separate private van tour for up to 4 guests to the Sound of Music film sites in the mountains (including the opening, closing and picnic scene meadow hilltops) just within a 25-40 minutes' drive from Salzburg, customized to your wishes. This can also include the Eagle's Nest and other WW2 noteworthy areas around Obersalzberg, where Hitler's Berghof mountain retreat house site was located (where he spent a third of the war up until it was destroyed at the end of the war). This private tour is reasonably priced at 500 euro. This price does not include the fee for the mandatory Eagle's Nest shuttle bus (28 euro each round trip) from the Eagle's Nest parking lot, Eagle's Nest museum/documentation center fee (3 euro each), or any other incidental fees such as for the state park entry (8 euro for the group) to drive up to the final meadow scene where the Von Trapp's climb over the mountains to escape Austria in the film Sound of Music. Write me below for more details. It is a historically fascinating area to see!
Additionally, I further offer a second all-season/all-day private van tour for up to 4 guests to the gorgeous village of Hallstatt on Lake Hallstatt, as well as to the surrounding lakes and mountain region, including seeing the inside of the St. Michael's Basilica in Mondsee (built in the 1400's), where the wedding scene was filmed in the Sound of Music. We will also visit the lovely villages of St. Gilgen or St. Wolfgang on the magnificent Lake Wolfgang. We also will go to the spectacular Lake Gosau, nestled in the high mountain peak region. This private tour also costs 500 euro (not including any parking or gondola fees up the mountains to spectacular lookouts).
I am also an authorized ticket seller for 2 different nightly Best of Mozart/Strauss/Vivaldi concerts (one of which includes dinner) in Salzburg, performed by ensembles of around 6 string musicians. In one concert, there is a man and woman opera singer (baritone and soprano) who wander around the guest dinner tables singing up close and personal to the guests! Both concerts take place in stunning palaces in magnificent grandiose concert rooms in Salzburg, one in which Mozart himself often performed in the Marble Room in the Mirabell Palace and the other is in the ballroom in St. Peter's Monastery, the oldest active monastery north of the Alps, founded in the year 696. Write me below for prices and details.
When you write me a message below in the contact area or on What's App to book my tours or for more info, I always reply by the end of the Austrian day, if not within the hour. If you like, we can also do a Skype or What's App video call to discuss everything you wish to know, face to face.
Payment for my tours can be made below by credit card, or by Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Wise or normal inter-bank wire transfer. Full payment is requested at the time of booking your tour. One-third of the total tour cost is non-refundable. The remaining 2/3rds is fully refundable until 7 days before your tour date. I still give my tours in the rain, but in case the weather is really terrible on the day of the tour or you prefer to switch the dates at any time, I am happy to change your tour to any other date, assuming I have availability.
