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 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.
