This trip was split into 2, the morning was the Salt Mines and the afternoon was the Sound of Music Tour.
Salt Mines
This was a bit of a gimic tour. The coach drove us to Berchestagen first of all and the tour guide showed us a shop that had a map of the Eagles Nest and he explained the site, even though this wasn't a trip to the Eagles Nest. We then went to the salt mines and walked around (with a German speaking guide) and audio guides that were in English for us. It was distracting, as we were desperately trying to listen to the audio but the guide was speaking over the top. Didn't really learn much about the salt mines.
Sound of Music Tour
The coach took us to a couple of places that were used in the Sound of Music. Not a great deal to see, the chapel, a lake, a couple of buildings and the pagoda. We were taken to Mondsee towards the end of the tour which was beautiful and had an hour or so to do what we liked on the island, we were given a suggestion of a pub to go to, couldn't help but feel that the guide was getting paid for the extra custom!!
The Sound of Music tour was excellent however the salt mine tour was too rushed. The actual tour inside the Salt Mine was good however the tour by your guide/mini bus driver was too rushed. We were rushed into the salt mine, rushed out without a few minutes to look in the shop and were repetedly told to hurry up. Both my wife and I would not recommend the Salt Mine tour because of your guide rushing the trip so much. The guide/mini bus driver was extremely impatient on the road and drive dangerously (unsafe) at times.

In a word, disappointed. Could not take any pictures during the salt mine trip. Sound of Music trip included too many people to make the tour interesting.
