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 a wonderful experience
I had the most wonderful experience with Timo, who is very easy-going and sophisticated. He literally walked me through the town both physically and historically. He is highly refined and intellectual. I would very much be happy to walk again with him.
Bonn Tour
We had a wonderful experience with, Gert, our Bonn Greeter. Gert took us around the city centre, sharing the history of the places we visited. He grew up in Bonn, it was interesting to hear his stories and see the city through the eyes of someone who knows it so well. We’re looking forward to showing our friends and family around ourselves!
We joined this 3-hour Bonn city tour as a small group of four. The Greeter, Dr. Gert Fischer, provided comprehensive information about Bonn’s history, landmark buildings and urban transformation. A nice blend of city narratives and personal stories, paired with thought-provoking discussions, made the tour captivating. Knowledgeable and humorous, he delivered an immersive outdoor cultural and history lesson. It was a memorable and rewarding experience, which made Bonn a really impressive city for us. Thank you!
Interesting perspectives on Bonn
Gert helped us to understand something of how Bonn came to be, with its particular history, geography, and society. We appreciated the perspective of a knowledgeable Bonner and, thanks to Gert, knew where to go and what to look for as we explored the city later that day, and the next, as we travelled south along the Rhine.
