Request a Greet

Thank you so much for the wonderful afternoon yesterday. Kenny and I both enjoyed it so much. We got to see so much of doodle Dorf and we also enjoyed very very very much spending time with you and with Sue. Looking forward to seeing you I hope in New York sometime soon.

What a treat to have Claudia as our greeter! She shared many special places in Dusseldorf, along with her personal insights and explanations that we would have otherwise missed without her guidance. She even sent us a detailed map of how to use the public transportation to get to our hotel. We felt more a part of the city with experiences like walking through a festival, sharing a typical beer at the oldest pub, hearing about the buildings, learning about history and the origin of the city's name. We so enjoyed her warm and caring spirit. She made our short visit to her home city unforgettable! 

My greeter Iris was so kind and took care of me so well. She arranged a great pick up spot, ensured we had solid time to walk and do sightseeing and rest, sit down to reflect properly. Not only discussing the history of Düsseldorf but also she shared with me tips on daily life in the city, which is really helpful for me as an international student in Germany. She took into great consideration my preference that I let her know in my application, and I truly appreciate the wisdom, knowledge and time she spent for me.  Attached is our photo am Rhein. I wish Iris and all other greeters great health and fulfilling meetings with many more wonderful guests in the world. 

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and sharing your experiences of Düsseldorf with me throughout our walk, Claudia!! Let me know when you come to Singapore and I'm happy to show you around too.

We are writing to express great gratitude to our greeter Iris. 

It was a very cold day, but Iris showed us warmest welcome and took us to many secret spots. She was very professional, made a lot of preparations and shared with us many interesting stories about Architecture, History and Culture.  We had a wonderful city walk and much laughter with her.  We would definitely like to share with our friends about our unforgettable experience with International Greeter Association.  

Thank you for your organization and wish you a very happy new year!

Thank you very much for your time today.  It was very interesting and informative to be greeted by you. Much appreciate the detailed tips and suggestions.  It will be very helpful for us.  

We managed to go up the Rhine Tower as the sun came out. The views were stunning. We also had a very nice evening of music at the jazz bar Em 

Poetzke.

We feel very lucky to have met you and look forward to staying in touch.

 "The Greeters project in Dusseldorf is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the life of the city for a few hours together with a local resident.  This is not a classic excursion with numbers and dates, it is a conversation between two people, as if one friend came to visit another.  In one day, I saw and learned more about the spirit of the city and how it is - to live in Düsseldorf. This is a kind of "couchsurfing", but without spending the night on the couch😄 I sincerely thank the enthusiasts who are developing the project in this city and warm Ukrainian greetings from me❤️"

Hi Claudia, we really loved the walk and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us around Dusseldorf.

Vielen Dank in der Zwischenzeit für die fantastische Tour :)

Thank you another time for your help and kindness. 

I’ll let you know if some days I’ll come back to Düsseldorf.

Just a note to thank the Dusseldorf Greeter network for a most enjoyable walk last week.

We have used the Greeter network in other cities around the world and it is a great way to discover sights and stories you wouldn't normally find as a tourist. A bonus is to meet friendly local that is passionate about their city. 

Your time and effort planning our walk was very much appreciated.

Claudia,

thank you so much for being our thoughtful Greeter today; we enjoyed your company and you showed us places that's not on my radar.

Bonjour Claudia,

Thanks again for the nice tour around your beautiful city.

My daughter and I  would like to express our compliments and thanks to Mr. Thomas Marquardt who was our greeter on 14/12/2022.

We spent wonderful time, scrolling via Duessdolrf center and learning out city history, despite the cold weather.

Thanks Thomas.

When planning our trip we wanted to experience the city from a local. Our Greeter Walter met us outside our hotel and spent 3 hours with us showing us his city of Düsseldorf including the pubs and restaurants he frequents. It was special hearing about his life in Düsseldorf and also some private stories. His insights enhanced our experience in the city. Without Walter we would not have explored and discovered Düsseldorf like we did.

"Thank you very much for the walk around Düsseldorf and I found it very interesting, informative and enjoyable!" 

 I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm greetings you extended to us last Saturday in Düsseldorf. Your presence made our visit all the more memorable and enjoyable.

Your thoughtfulness and hospitality truly touched our hearts. It was a pleasure meeting you and having the opportunity to engage in delightful conversations. Your knowledge and insights about the city and its rich cultural heritage were truly remarkable. We felt privileged to have you as our guide and companion during our time in Düsseldorf. I attach the photos of three of us and feel free to use them for promting the program. One day, I wish to be a greeter as well. I will let you know then.

Once again, thank you for your generosity, friendliness, and for going above and beyond to make our visit to Düsseldorf truly exceptional. Your kind gestures have left a lasting impression on us, and we look forward to reciprocating the same warmth and hospitality whenever you find yourself in our city, Enschede.

Please stay in touch, and should you ever need anything from us, please do not hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the happiness and success that life has to offer.

I really enjoyed the walk and talk with you which had opened the door to explore Dusseldorf further.

It was amazing to know how you planned the tour, especially when rain started falling on just arriving at Uerige so that we could have the grass of altbier. 

Plus the shot of Killpitch was a surprising but welcoming offer, and we are much safer against COVID19 even after being vaccinated twice.

"What an amazing walk with you yesterday. We are so greatful for the wealth of knowledge and chats! We definitely would love to have round 2 of our walk for the Killepitsch soon. "

"Thank you Thomas for the tour you gave us around the city today.

We really liked the warm welcome from you. We had a perfect day ending with a diner next to the Rhine.

We definitly will do it again!"

"Thank you very much for the lovely day in Kaiserswerth, we really enjoyed it. Thank you for guiding us around and making us discover more of our new Home Düsseldorf."

I had a very nice day in Düsseldorf with Johannes. He has shown me his city, where he was born. Anecdotes, history, a very complete tour. We had fun, talk about football, detergents... and many other things. Thanks a lot.
