Who are the Greeters?
Unlike a guide, with a professional card that will provide you with a broad cultural and historical knowledge of places that are visited during guided tours, a Greeter is a loving and passionate volunteer for his city and region. He enjoys welcoming visitors as he would welcome friends or family.
He offers his time to make discoveries, for free, of the places he loves, tells his story, talk about his neighborhood and share his recommendations. Here the visitor engages in a participative and sustainable tourism approach, he is an actor of his discovery.
Where do Greeters come from?
In 1992, Lynn Brooks wanted to erase the negative image of New York: a scary and sprawling city. She wanted to publicize her city as she loved it. With the help of her network of friends, she then proposed to tourists, unusual strolls organized in the districts of the "Big Apple" by inhabitants. The first Greeters organization was born. Since this creation an international federation has been formed integrating many destinations including Grenoble, where ten Greeters welcome you to make you discover the city in their own way.
