Interested in seeing more than the tourist highlights of a city, then see it with a local “Greeter”.

Greeters are, more often than not, local citizens who have lived in their city for a while, and some even their whole lives. They know every nook and cranny of their city, especially unique places and hidden gems of which tourists are unaware. You won’t be sharing space with the crowds!

We have had the pleasure of “Greeters” showing us part of their city in New York, London, France, Munich and Vienna to date. It’s an opportunity to meet and converse with friendly people, to learn about life in the city from a local perspective and hear about why they love living in their city. They have been enriching and pleasurable experiences. We always try to plan one or two during our travels if they are available.

The Greeter system is free. You do not pay a Greeter. Greeters volunteer their time at no charge because they are passionate about sharing their city with the rest of the world. Greeters will guide a group of up to six people.

We have been lucky to have been sole clients on our Greeter tours to date. Our enthusiastic guides have gone beyond the call of duty and created bespoke walking tours based on our interests.
