Greeters welcome guests and take them on individual Greets through the city – without charge.
The Greeter concept was first initiated and developed in New York by Lynn Brooks in 1992, then it was known as “Big Apple Greeters”. Meanwhile the idea has gained more and more friends – both Greeters and guests.
Hamburg Greeters came into being in the Spring of 2012. At our Greets, inquisitive guests meet up with dedicated Hamburg folks.
We Greeters love our hometown and we like to give you an insight into our personal lives in Hamburg. We accompany you through the city – entirely free of charge, as is customary among friends. You will experience very personal and individual walkabouts and you will hear about our workaday lives.
We do not offer you a complete sightseeing-tour to tourist-attractions, but we can tell you where you can get those.
Please contact us at least two weeks before your arrival in Hamburg, preferably even sooner.
We will be glad to find a Greeter for you who meets with your special requirements. It may be even more exciting for you if you let your Greeter surprise you with his or her own ideas.
Each Greeter endeavours to plan your walkabout in an individual manner. You meet at an agreed place and start your two to three hour exploration through Hamburg – either on foot, by bike or by public transport.
A Greeter will always try to meet your personal wishes. However, particular expectations and “orders” are cases for professional guides.
You can request a Greet using our application form!
What is a Greet?
Our walks of two to three hours are adjusted to the special interests of our guests. We Greeters are volunteers and offer our service when it seems a “good match” and we “feel like it”. We meet our guests at eye level and try to take their background into account. In that way, guests may become friends.
Please note: A Greet is not a guided tour of the city. A Greet cannot simply be “booked”.
What are the costs?
A Greet is free of charge. We enjoy getting to know you und showing you our hometown. We do appreciate a donation towards our costs, though.
How to request a Greet.
You use our application form. The distribution team sends your request to all Greeters on the list. When a Greeter feels that a request “fits”, he or she tells the distribution team. They then give that Greeter’s mail-address to the guest.
From then on guest and Greeter make their own personal arrangements (time, place, suggestions etc.). In the rare case that no Greeter is available, we unfortunately have to turn down the request.
How do guest and Greeter meet?
You use our application form. The distribution team sends your request to all Greeters on the list. When a Greeter feels that a request “fits”, he or she tells the distribution team. They then give that Greeter’s mail-address to the guest.
From then on guest and Greeter make their own personal arrangements (time, place, suggestions etc.). In the rare case that no Greeter is available, we unfortunately have to turn down the request.
How many people in a group?
All Greeters are volunteers. They want to look after their guests in an individual manner when they show them their city – just as they would do with personal friends. So a group should not exceed 6 people who should all know each other.
How can I ask for a Greet?
