Bremerhaven Greeters
Free Personal Walking Tour with a Local
Discover Bremerhaven through a free personal walk with a local
Bremerhaven is situated at the river Weser, just a few swim strokes from the North Sea.
Get to know the city together with us, we would like to show you around our most favoured places.
We may walk on the dike and explain the semaphore or water level signalling station, have a look at the fishery port and historic vessels of the ships museum. We could show you a bit of the city’s 200 year history, old housing quarters and transformation, busy naval industry or the modern leisure port. Perhaps you would like to vist the emigration museum, the historic museum, the zoo or the arts museum.
Whatever you are specifically interested in, we are looking forward to welcoming you in our town and to show why we love to live here.

Remember: A Greet means meeting a local resident to walk around town with you as new friends. The first step will be to talk to the Greeter about the details of your personalized tour. It's not about taking part in a standardized tour, but about exploring the city with an expert volunteer .

What our guests say
Thank you very much for showing us some of Bremerhaven; past & present.
Even with the wind & rain, it was a perfect tour for us! Standing in that room with the etching of the ship’s deck surrounding us, and then near where the passengers boarded for their journey to America–truly special for me. It almost brought tears.
We enjoyed driving through the modern container/shipyard. Learning more about you during our tour just added to the enjoyment.
The rest of our stay in Bremerhaven was also interesting as we spent time retracing emigration at the Auswanderer Haus, visited the Zoo am Meer, and read about the interesting history during our exploration of Historical Museum. But your personal tour was the best!
We wish you the best. Again, thank you!
I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional experience we had during our trip to Bremerhaven, thanks to your organization and the wonderful volunteer guide, Heinrich.
As a family of four—Papa, Mama, daughter, and son—we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, especially the time spent in the historical museum Bremerhaven. Heinrich’s extensive knowledge about the city’s history and his engaging storytelling made the tour both educational and enjoyable for all of us. His passion for Bremerhaven’s heritage truly brought the museum to life and left a lasting impression on us.
Please extend our sincere thanks to Heinrich for his dedication and the memorable experience he provided. We greatly appreciate the efforts of your organization in making such enriching activities available to visitors.
Thank you once again for a wonderful afternoon in Bremerhaven.
