Stuttgart Greeters
Free Walk with a local
Discover Stuttgart through a free walk with a local
Situated in the heart of lush vineyards and green hills, Stuttgart is also a city of contrasts, and there’s more to this city than its famous car history. While the acclaimed Mercedes Museum is indeed an attraction, there’s also a more genuine side to the city, and the way to experience its multifaceted charm is to dive into the city with the help of the Stuttgart Greeters.
These dedicated local volunteers are genuinely enthusiastic about their hometown, providing an engaging Free walking tour that takes you deep into the very heart of Swabian culture. Don’t bother reading about the sights in your standard tourist guide; a Greeter friend will take you through the colorful areas, pointing out hidden gems that only the locals are privy to.
You could be marveling at the majestic Schlossplatz and its New Palace, but later navigating one of the many ‘Stäffele’ staircases in the city, where you’ll get the ultimate view that tourists rarely notice. Uncovering the local hotspots that serve authentic Swabian food, such as Spätzle, or the very best regional wines, all become a personal journey that the Greeter’s insider information makes simple.

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 .
Maximum six people!
Our core value #2 reads "Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people."
The reason is that each Greet should be an opportunity to talk to each other and that seems impossible in bigger groups.
Also important: we do not mingle people from different requests but serve only you (and your friends).
Meet a local volunteer
Our core value #1 reads "Greeters are volunteers, a friendly face for those visiting a city."
It's true: Our Greeters love their city or town and they are proud to share this with guests.
How could you better discover the most interesting spots of a place?
Free service, no tipping
Our core value #3 reads "Meeting a Greeter is free of charge."
We do not follow a "give what you think is ok (but please give)" strategy. Greeters honestly do not like any tipping because what they give comes from their heart not because of any tipping expectation.
If you would like to support the Greeters as a whole you are welcome to donate to the International Greeter Association here.

Was für eine tolle Erfahrung am Feiertag mit Bernd in Stuttgart. Die Greeter kannte ich schon von Hamburg. Daher wurde die Anfrage nach Stuttgart gestellt, mit Zeitnaher Rückmeldung über den Termin. Die drei Pfälzer waren abends im Musical, und nächsten Tag wollten wir was über Stuttgart erfahren. Wir waren hier über den kurzweiligen, informativen Rundgang begeistert. Bernd war hier echt top mit Seinem Wissen und ist uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert. Immer wieder gerne.
