Tips about this business (3)

Look Good

Love the city? Join the team. You need to be over 18 and be willing to commit to one four-hour session per month if you'd like to volunteer. An application and interview constitute the screening process.

The Extras

If English isn't your native tongue, don't worry. Altogether, the volunteers speak more than 20 different languages.

Know Before You Go

Because this not-for-profit organization is pairing you up with a regular Joe or Jane, you have to book your tour four weeks in advance. Your greeter has a busy schedule, too!
