You can use the top menu (Find a Greeter) or simply follow this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“How do I request a Greeter?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

Go to the local Greeter website and complete their request form with as much information as possible.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“What happens after I submit my request?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

As soon as the Greeter destination receives your request you should receive a first confirmation. Long enough before you go there they will try to match you with an available Greeter. They\u2019ll then be in touch with you as quickly as possible by email to organize details well in advance of your trip.
If you think that you got stuck in this procedure please let us know by email to info@internationalgreeter.org. We will try to help you.<\/b><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“How can I change or cancel my request?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

Please send an email to the Greeter destination as soon as possible if you need to change your plans. They\u2019ll do their best to accommodate your changes.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“What does it cost to meet a Greeter?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

All Greets are completely free and always will be. We do not expect any kind of tipping. This is our spirit.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“How can I support a Greeter organization?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

Greeters organizations are administered in different ways. In many cases it is possible to make a donation, but again, we stress that all Greets are free and you are under no obligation at all to make a donation.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“How many people can take part in a Greet?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

Greets are for small groups of a maximum of six people. They\u2019re private walks, so they\u2019re not aimed at tour groups. For larger groups we strongly recommend organising a professional tour guide (Greeters are not professional tour guides!)<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“Will my walk take place if the weather is bad?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

Oh yes, so bring your umbrella. Whatever the weather, we will greet you and as far as conditions allow, we\u2019ll try to show you the best side of our city. But we\u2019ll be there at the arranged time.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“Are Greeters professional tour guides?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

No, we\u2019re not professional tour guides. Greeters are local individuals who enjoy showing new friends their city. If you\u2019d prefer an organised tour with an official guide, have a look at the website of the local tourism board for more details.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=“Why is it free?“ _builder_version=“4.16″ global_colors_info=“{}“ open=“off“]<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
