Lived in Europe 20 years ago and we're back now. The tours were probably a little more personal then as they were only for one language at a time... but the fun of the tour is still there, and the fountains are still amazing for kids, young and young at heart! Always a highlight of any summer trip to Salzburg.... More

Don' t waste your time to many tourists. Guide gives tour in three languages and when he finishes a language that group starts talking. English gets very little information. Fountains not worth it More

We weren't sure what to expect, but this was really a great tour! Actually, part of the fun is NOT knowing what to expect, so I won't give it away, but this attraction is very entertaining. Our guide was fun and the amazing history of the fountains really adds to the enjoyment. Afterwards, visit the Sound of Music gazebo, also... More

The trick fountains are very clever and the tour is informative. You will get a little wet. More

We were here on April 29, 2012 and liked it a lot. The negative factors were the almost 80 people in our tour group. Maybe it was the last tour in the day ( 4 30 pm) and hence there were way too many but still its very difficult to do justice to a group of that size. To add... More

We went to Hellfrunn to see the gazebo from the Sound of Music. LOVED IT!! The Trick Fountains were not that enjoyable for us. They said that the tour would be in both German & English. However, most of it was only done in German so we couldn't understand any of the stories the tour guide shared. When he was... More

A great sense of history. The guide was very good and he is wired for sound so that you can hear him. Don`t miss the Palace itself as the audio tour is very good. More

We really enjoyed the villa with all its eccentricities. My son really enjoyed getting "sprayed" at the table. The tour was very good! More

So nice and "different" place! Definitely worth the entrance fee (about 10 euros). You always need to take a guided tour through the place (on the day we visited Hellbrunn, there was one in every 15 minutes, I think - maybe it depends on how many people are coming), only in the public park you can move around by yourself....
