I recently did a trip to Salzburg and Munich and would be happy to answer any questions. Salzburg is gorgeous and worth going for more than just a day trip.
There are companies that do big bus tours to Sound of Music locations. However, most of the sights are in the city and can be easily seen on foot. I understand that the bus tour takes you out to the house which was filmed as the facade of the Von Trapp house, but you can't go inside. They also take you to the garden by the lake which was filmed as the garden of the Von Trapp House, and they take you to the garden pergola which is in yet another location. We decided it wasn't worth the cost and time commitment of the long bus journey just to see these, so we bought this book and DIYed it. We saw plenty including the 'abbey' (not actually an abbey), the 'cemetery' (it was filmed in a studio but rebuilt as a replica of a real cemetery in the city), the main square (where you see the Nazi flags unfurled in the film and in the I Have Confidence sequence), various locations from the Do Re Mi sequence (fountains, steps, ivy tunnel, bridge, etc) and more... this was all enough for us and it made for a lovely, leisurely walking tour. We went at our own pace and stopped at a beer garden en route.
I would also recommend the Mozart birthplace museum which is in the centre of Salzburg. And if you're into history then a visit to the Eagle's Nest is a must-do. We did a bus tour for that one.
In Munich, the English Garden is a lovely way to while away an afternoon. Take a pack of cards and stay for a while. The Olympic Park is fun; there's a mini golf course there which we enjoyed. We loved the Pinakothek der Moderne art gallery.
Neuschwanstein is also an absolute must-do, it looks incredible from the outside and the inside is fascinatingly bizarre. We went with a company called Mike's Bike Tours and I would 100% recommend them. They do it as a whole day trip including cycling through the Bavarian countryside and wild swimming in a beautiful alpine lake.
