Merci

It was a pleasure to have Rudolph as our guide. And we really appreciated that he was able to explain things to us in French. We’ve now got a good impression of Innsbruck, as we didn’t have much time.

He’s made us want to come back and explore the city and the surrounding area. We felt very at ease with him and hit it off straight away. Thank you again.

Social and fun walk around Innsbruck

I had a great afternoon with Lea. She prepared a nice tour and had fun facts about the city, but most importantly she was great company! It was a fun and social way to get to know Innsbruck and each other. Also she knows the best ice cream place (Eis Leis) and had good pizza recommendations (Raed) as well 😉

Emmy is the perfect guide

We loved our Innsbruck tour with Emmy!

She’s kind, speaks English very well and has a lot of knowledge. We had a drink at loft9 with a beautiful panorama on the city, a tip she gave us.

Thanks again, Emmy 🙂

Wonderful time in Innsbruck!

My sister and I had a wonderful time with Rudi and Kurt in Hungerburg and old town.

It’s easy to find common tourist landmarks in a new city, but it is always a pleasure when you see the less conventional and less popular ‘hidden gems’ that a city has to offer. And that’s what Rudi and Kurt showed us. From the modern, controversial church paintings in Hungerburg, to the folk story of Frau Hitt, the morning flew by.

Both Rudi and Kurt were gracious enough to answer any questions we had, as well as being keen to learn about our country.

I would highly recommend meeting either of these two gentleman if you get a chance when in Innsbruck!

Make your own skis?

It was such a pleasure to meet you and Brigitte yesterday! My mum Eunice, sister Christine and I had such a wonderful time interacting and learning from the both of you. We were glad to learn some local secrets that make Innsbruck so special – quirky art in a Catholic church, and a “tomb” in another.

Seeing the ski workshop was a bonus!

Traditional evening was a blast! We were very entertained and the best part was that they played music from Singapore at the end! The way they remember music from so many countries is so impressive!

A wonderful tour with a lovely greeter

We don’t have the words to do justice to our tour with Emmi.

From the start it was like walking around Innsbruck with a friend who can answer all the random questions we’ve had over the years but haven’t been able to ask. Her knowledge was really impressive but the details she could provide about everyday Tyrolean life made the facts come to life for us.

We’ve already decided to come back a year earlier to get the Autumn version of her tour, as long as she’s not booked up! We cannot recommend the experience highly enough, it was like meeting a tour guide and a new friend in one. A total delight. Thank you so much for matching us with Emmi – a truly unforgettable experience.

Book your greeter today!

Rudi was simply great. We got out of old town, and explored some of the lesser known areas. Due to travel problems I was alone, but that didn’t matter to Rudi.

This was my second greet, the first was in Lyon two years ago and it was also terrific.

Amazing

I found having a greeter was a valuable experience. Martina and I hit it off automatically and had much in common. It almost felt like we were sisters from a long time ago. It was a very relaxed environment. I never felt pressured that she wanted to go do something else. She asked me what I wanted to do and when we wanted to take the second trolley trip around she was all for it too. We had lunch and then we had a sweet treat afterwards. This basically is what I wanted to see in Innsbruck using the local greeter versus just going to the Christmas market and seeing the same things that I am seeing in other Christmas markets.

It was a valuable experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
