Frequently asked questions

  • Are you expected to speak a foreign language as a volunteer?
    Yes. Visitors come from all over the world so all languages are welcome, including sign language.

  • I have a handicap; can I still become a Greeter?
    Yes, certainly! As long as you can provide a 4 hour (maximum) tour.

  • What type of visitors book Greeters?
    Anyone that wants to set out with a local ‘friend’, including families on vacation, visitors of international organisations, new diplomats, adventurers, journalists and more.

  • Which criteria are used to match the Greeter to visitors?
    The most important criteria are: language, preference for a neighbourhood and quite simply, a date.  Furthermore, we look at possible other interests. You meet the visitors at an agreed-upon on location, for instance, at their hotel.
