Wiesbaden Greeters activities
Here you can find out about the latest activities of the Wiesbaden Greeters at irregular intervals.
April 26 and May 5, 2026 – double double feature with guests from Southern Germany and New York City
2 x 2 Greets on the same day – seems to be becoming a specialty in Wiesbaden! Pia welcomed a lively group of ladies from Bavaria and Ralf hosted two couples from the Stuttgart area, before Heinz introduced his South German guests to the café highlights of our spa town. On the same day, Elizabeth and Peter flew in directly (!) from New York and were able to overcome their jetlag with Greeter Torsten.
Fabienne writes: We had a truly wonderful Greeter walk through Wiesbaden with Ralf. […] He picked us up right in front of our hotel and then showed us his Wiesbaden: personal, authentic, and with a lot of heart. His Hessian dialect added a special touch and made the tour all the more charming. […] A real highlight was the break in a café, where Ralf showed us old postcards featuring scenes from historic Wiesbaden. […] At the end, we shared a drink together at the weekly market. Ralf took an incredible amount of time for us, and you can really tell how much he cares about “his” Wiesbaden. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together and would gladly go on a discovery tour with him again anytime. Highly recommended!
March 27nd, 2026 – a red carpet for our guests
Heike and her sister had a great and “heartely”tour with our Greeter Ralf (behind the camera) in Wiesbaden – a red carpet for them included! Her feedback:
Hello dear Greeters Team,
My sister and I had a fantastic guided tour of Wiesbaden with Ralf on Friday. The tour was incredibly entertaining and engaging—you can immediately tell how much passion and knowledge he brings to it.
We gained fascinating and sometimes surprising insights into the city that we would never have discovered on our own. The personal atmosphere was especially nice—we felt right at home.
A real highlight was the little surprise with the cups he brought along, which we used to taste the thermal water—a great and original idea!
This really makes exploring Wiesbaden fun. Highly recommended!
And we’ll be recommending you to others
Best regards
Heike
March 21st, 2026 – double feature
On a mostly sunny spring Saturday – March 21st – we welcomed guests for two greets the same day. In the morning greeter Heinz-Christoph went through the fully blooming city with Lennart and his friend from southern Germany. Alongside they discussed their favorite music styles and the best sports bars in Town.
In the afternoon Betsy from Virginia/US met greeter Torsten for a stroll across points of interest as well as through neighborly city quarters. At the 64°C hot hot springs they waited for them to cool down to take a healthy sip of the healing thermal water 😉
“I thoroughly enjoyed my walking tour with Wiesbaden Greeters. It was a very personalized experience and the coffee break was perfectly timed. We meandered through the town and I learned a lot about the history of Wiesbaden and great food/coffee recommendations. I would gladly take the tour again and recommend it for family or friends who are visiting.”
March 2026 – Satisfied guests and an exchange with neighbouring Mainz Greeters
We were also able to welcome guests to Wiesbaden in winter, who clearly had a wonderful time: “Thank you so much for your very personal tour,” “… for the very interesting two hours,” “… took advantage of the wonderful service provided by Wiesbaden Greeters.”
We also met up with our neighbors from Mainz to exchange ideas against the backdrop of the Rhine at night. Now we’re waiting for spring and more lovely guests—together with Ophelia at the museum!
December 2025 – Successful first months of the Wiesbaden Greeters
After launching in September 2025, we were soon able to welcome our first guests. Naturally, they came from Germany, even from Wiesbaden itself, but also from Armenia, Iceland, Pakistan and Ukraine.

Taylor Swifts “Ophelia” in the Museum Wiesbaden
In the music video for the song “Fate of Ophelia”, Taylor Swift uses the picturesque painting by German artist Theodor Heyser, whose Ophelia can be seen in the Museum Wiesbaden. In addition to visiting the museum, it is worth meeting up with the Wiesbaden Greeters.
