Greets are for small groups of a maximum of six people. They’re private walks, so they’re not aimed at tour groups. For larger groups we strongly recommend organising a professional tour guide (Greeters are not professional tour guides!) 8. Will my walk take place if the weather is bad? Oh yes, so bring your umbrella. Whatever the weather, we will greet you and as far as conditions allow, we’ll try to show you the best side of our city. But we’ll be there at the arranged time. 9.

If you’d prefer an organised tour with an official guide, have a look at the website of the local tourism board for more details. 10. Why is it free? Greets are free because our aim is simply to bring people together, get to know new people and show off our beautiful home cities. Greeters offer a free service based on the concept of participatory tourism (where tourism is a source of multicultural exchanges and enrichment for visitors and residents alike) relying on residents’ willingness to volunteer and their enthusiasm. 『 COPYRIGHTS © International Greeter Association AISBL.
