Elisabeth von Trapp Tour

From the Family Whose Story Inspired The Sound Of Music

Hello, my name is Elisabeth von Trapp. Yes, I’m from that family, a granddaughter of the Baron, Georg and Maria von Trapp, whose story inspired “The Sound Of Music “.

I am a Certified Austrian Tour Guide and like nothing better than introducing guests to the exquisite charm, sights and sounds of Salzburg – the city of music, with its narrow streets, medieval walkways, giant fountains, tiny pastry shops, catacombs, Austrian coffee and bread fresh from the oven.

During our time together I’ll share with you the real story of my family: their music, legacy and connection with Salzburg. We’ll visit “The Sound Of Music “ film sites and experience the magnificent baroque architecture and acoustical spaces of Salzburg as we make our way through the city that my family called home.

Over the past many years I have lived, celebrated holidays, studied and performed in Salzburg. In 2022 I obtained my Austrian citizenship making me a proud dual Austrian – American citizen. My husband Edward and I divide our time between Salzburg and our stateside home in Waitsfield,, Vermont.

If you’re in Salzburg this summer, please come and take a walk with me… I’d love to show you a few of my favorite things and places… a von Trapp Salzburg.

Wear comfortable shoes. This is a walking tour in a city designed to be walked !

One last thing…while dancing and singing during the tour is not technically required, it is strongly encouraged and might actually be rewarded with a Mozartkugel… Hope to see you soon… Auf Wiedersehen

What Our Travelers Say About the Trip

"I've had many private tour guides across Europe, but Michaela stood out with a combination of in-depth knowledge, charm and empathy. Her knowledge, passion and enthusiasm are contagious. We were so happy that she accommodated our different tastes and interests. After this great experience, we immediately booked others and look forward to seeing Michaela again soon! "

"Michaela stepped in at the last minute when our guide got sick. She came on time and was pleasant to listen to. She kept our family of 4 engaged throughout the tour. She explained to us many of the special features of Salzburg that we probably wouldn't have experienced on our own. That is exactly why one should opt for a private tour. Thank you again Michaela"

Our guide knew how to present the history of the city in an entertaining and informative way. We highly recommend this private tour to anyone looking for Salzburg with a dedicated guide. It was an impressive bike tour, accompanied by a lot of knowledge and stories about the city of Salzburg."

"We really enjoyed the bike ride through the streets of Salzburg and then out into the countryside. The ride took us past canals, beautiful Palaces and into the parks and tree lined bike ways. Very pleasant way to spend the afternoon out of the rush of Salzburg city itself."
