Greether and JourneyWoman partner to enhance travel for senior female travelers with trusted local connections for safer journeys
Explore the World with Confidence: Greether Connects You with Trusted Local Women Greeters - guides for safer and empowering travel.
Greether, an innovative female travel company and JourneyWoman, the world’s first website for solo female travel, are joining forces to help women travel safely around the world. As part of JourneyWoman’s partner offerings and its Solo Travel Concierge, Greether will connect women travelers with local verified female guides (known as “Greeters”) on the ground in more than 100 countries around the world. Greeters are a mix of a friend, tour guide, and concierge, providing companionship and personalized tours.
“Greether offers a trusted service for solo women who want a little extra reassurance when travelling, while providing local women with additional income to showcase their own knowledge.” said Carolyn Ray. “On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I used Greether and booked a local Greeter who provided me and my daughter with a personalized tour and insider’s view on the city, allowing us to deepen our travel experience.”
Greether is an award-winning travel company with a mission to help women travel safer by connecting female-identified travelers with verified, local women Greeters, who can be booked to explore destinations. With a fast-growing community spanning over 100 countries and 1,000+ cities, Greether has established itself as a go-to platform for adventurous women worldwide.
“Both Greether and JourneyWoman share a commitment to empowering women in travel, prioritizing safety, social impact, purpose, and authentic experiences” says Vanessa Karel, CEO and Founder, Greether. “This partnership represents a step forward in promoting responsible tourism, supporting local women, and inspiring female travelers to explore the world confidently.”
How Greether works
Whether you are traveling solo or having a group adventure, Greether’s local guides, or “Greeters,” offer insider knowledge before your trip even begins, personalized recommendations, and authentic companionship for the time you book them for. Transforming ordinary trips into memorable, enriching journeys that empower women.

Booking a Greeter is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
STEP ONE: Search and select
Choose your destination, number of travelers, and tour length to see pricing. Pricing adjusts 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.
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.
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 our Privacy Terms.
Get Greeted and begin the adventure!
Imagine visiting a friend in an unfamiliar city. Someone who knows the hidden gems, shares the local secrets and welcomes you with open arms. Greether aims to provide just that: a travel experience that feels like a friend’s tour, no matter where you go.
CONNECT AND PERSONALIZE FURTHER
After your booking is confirmed and payment is processed, Greether will match you with the most suitable Greeter and create a WhatsApp group to connect you. This allows you to start chatting and planning in advance. Once Greether's app launches, this process will seamlessly transition to the app.
When to book
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.
Meet up in person
Greether’s Greeters offer a unique way to experience the world, combining authentic companionship with meaningful exploration at your pace. It’s like traveling with a trusted friend, all while contributing to sustainable tourism and empowering local women.
Avoid tourist traps, navigate language barriers, and uncover hidden local gems—all while feeling safe and supported. Experience the destination like a local, not a tourist!
This is travel, redefined: personalized, flexible, and truly authentic.

Greether is always happy to welcome more women in their community. If you are interested in becoming a guide for female travelers, apply here to become a Greeter if you live in a popular city or key travel destination where travelers love to explore!
