How Greether works

When a traveller is ready to embark on a journey, she can search for available Greeters at www.greether.com. Booking a Greeter is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

Step One: Search and select:

Choose your destination, number of travellers, and tour length to see pricing. Pricing is adjusted based on these variables. For example, a 2.5-hour Greeter tour in Istanbul costs $75 USD, while a similar experience in Seoul begins at $80 USD, and in Paris, it’s $95 USD.

As part of this partnership, JourneyWoman members can access exclusive discounts, including a 15% savings using the code JOURNEYWOMAN.

Step Two: Personalize your adventure

You make your own rules! After selecting a date for your experience, choose a meetup spot (for example, outside your hotel) and share your interests with us. The more we know about you and what you’d like to do, the better we can match you with a Greeter and ensure they recommend the best plans.

Step Three: Pay securely and verify

Book your Greeter and complete your profile. Use code: JOURNEYWOMAN for a special discount! Greether ensures safety with secure ID verification, matching government-issued IDs with profile photos. No ID details are stored, and all information is redacted after verification. Learn more in Greether’s Privacy Terms.

Both the guest and Greeter must undergo an identity verification requirement using government-issued identification (Greether implements a secure ID verification process, cross-checking government-issued IDs with profile photos to ensure the safety of all users. Government ID information is not retained, and details are carefully redacted following verification. More information can be found in Greether’s Privacy Terms). Guests and Greeters are matched before your trip begins through the Greether platform and a Whatsapp group to your Greeter (Download WhatsApp here).

Greether recommends booking at least 2 weeks in advance for the best experience. Bookings within 4 business days are possible, but booking early increases your chances of being matched quickly with a Greeter to provide tips and recommendations for your trip.
