St Petersburg Transfer Services
let us meet & greet you at the airport
or anywhere you want!

Our St Petersburg transfer services are your best choice to get to and from the city or anywhere you need to go - plus we keep you and our driver safe from the virus!

Once you've landed at Pulkovo Airport or arrived at one of the main St. Petersburg train stations or seaports, you'll need to decide how to get into the city. There are a number of city transfer options you can take, such as the public transport system, the official Pulkovo taxi, or a private chauffeured car.

Our St Petersburg Transfer Services

The private chauffeured car it's our top recommendation as this way the driver meets you at your arrival gate or anywhere else you ask and takes care of your luggage and later drives you directly to your accommodation fast and hassle-free.

On the contrary, if you take the public transport system you'll be struggling with your luggage on a congested bus or metro; while if you take the official Pulkovo taxi, you’ll need to find a taxi on arrival, and wait until someone is available to pick you up.

We know that there isn't one best service for everyone, but if you want to avoid the discomfort of public transport and long waiting queues then pay a little more and let us help you arrange your St. Petersburg airport transfer before you come.

When you choose a professional private chauffeured you are sure to travel in comfort and safety, and sometimes even in style. So give it a try!☺
