Bonn greeters
a very personal way of discovering Bonn.
Spend time with a local… just you and your and friends.
what is a greet?
A Greet involves a local person who volunteers their time to walk and share their love of Bonn with you. In contrast to an official city tour guide, Greeters show you the city from a local perspective, focusing on the little things that make Bonn home: a neighbourhood, a street corner, a local pub. You will be privy to personal stories, anecdotes and tips, for example, on where to get the best currywurst.
what guests are saying
Stefan is really knowledgeable about Bonn. Even if it has become his home town, you feel that the city has grown on him. I really liked that we had the chance to talk about personal things and share points of view on many things (food, politics, environment, life style, personal experiences and travel). The little details about the city helped us to relive a Bonn before the madness of the war. And discover aspects of local hero Ludwig Van we did not know.
We had a fantastic experience with Christoph. He was very knowledgeable and made our experience very enriched and engaging.
I had a wonderful time walking around Bonn with Helga. She was so informative, so warm and friendly and I really learnt a lot. It was a wonderful way to get to know the city and to get to know a new friend!
Our train was delayed which changed our plans a bit but Heike was flexible with us regarding the timing and location of where to meet. We appreciated her warm welcome to Bonn and her enthusiasm to show us her city. It was nice being able to pick and choose what we wanted to see and what we wanted to focus on (more history and local things to do). It was fun getting to know each other throughout the tour and I will definitely be looking for city greeters for our future travels because it really felt like a great way to see the city.
