Die Original Sound of Music Tour
Der Anfang einer wirklich außergewöhnlichen Geschichte: 1963 schickte Twentieth Century Fox Scouts nach Salzburg, um die Verfilmung der Geschichte der Familie Von Trapp vor Ort zu planen. Die Dreharbeiten in Salzburg begannen dann im Jahr 1964. Die Dreharbeiten in Salzburg begannen 1964. Da Flüge und Unterkünfte für über 250 Crewmitglieder, Techniker, Kameraleute, Bühnenarbeiter sowie die Schauspieler extrem teuer waren, war der Zeitrahmen auf sechs Wochen begrenzt, doch aufgrund schlechter Wetterbedingungen dauerten die Dreharbeiten letztendlich rund 11 Wochen.
Zu dieser Zeit hätte sich niemand träumen lassen, dass dieser besondere Film eines Tages zu einem der berühmtesten und erfolgreichsten Filme aller Zeiten werden würde. Nach der Premiere 1965 kamen die ersten Fans aus den USA nach Salzburg, um die Original-Drehorte des Filmszu besuchen. Da die Fahrer von Panorama Tours während der Dreharbeiten sowohl die Schauspieler als auch das Personal zu den verschiedenen Drehorten begleitet haben, kannten sie nicht nur die genauen Drehorte, sondern auch viele Geschichten über die Entstehung des Films. Und so wurde unsere Sightseeing-Tour ORIGINAL SOUND OF MUSIC TOUR® geboren, damit wir all dies mit Ihnen teilen können!

Background Story of The Sound of Music Tour
Let us start with the beginning of this really extraordinary story. In 1963 Twentieth Century Fox sent scouts to Salzburg to plan filming the the Von Trapp Family story on location. The filming in Salzburg started in 1964. As flights and housing for over 250 crew members, technicians, camera men, stage hands as well as the actors were extremely expensive, the time-frame was limited to six weeks, but due to bad weather conditions, the filming took around 11 weeks after all.
During this time nobody dreamt that THIS special movie would one day become one of the most famous and successful films ever. After the premiere in 1965, the first fans from the US started coming to Salzburg, to visit the locations where the movie had been shot. As the Panorama Tours drivers had been involved in escorting the actors as well as the staff to the various places, they not only know the exact locations, but also lots of stories behind the making of this movie. At this time our sightseeing tour, the "Original Sound of Music Tour" was born so we could share all this with you!
