Arrange for your personal professional tour guide in Saint Petersburg

Having a professional English-speaking personal tour guide will greatly benefit your visit to Saint Petersburg. Your personal tour guide is not just a walking and talking city-guide-book but a great companion as well. The personal tour guide will make sure your visit to Saint Petersburg goes smoothly and that no problems arise. Should there be any the guide will help you handle them.

A personal guide will help you plan your time in Saint Petersburg wisely, taking into consideration all your likes and preferences. When alone in an unknown city it helps to have somebody you can fully rely on or ask for assistance.

Our team consists of only the best qualified tour guides who have been studying English for a long time, worked in the tourist business for at least 2 years and have proven themselves to be very reliable and responsible. Nevertheless, they all are a lot of fun and simply enjoyable personalities to be around.

All of our personal tour guides have been especially trained to deal with customers from abroad and they all possess special guiding permissions to tour in various museums of Saint Petersburg and its suburbs.

Personal Tour guides speaking other major European languages are available on request. (Spanish, Italian, German, French)

While the tour guide is assisting you, you are expected to pay the guide's expenses like any transportation costs if you're using public transport, lunch or dinner expenses, museum entry fees (only if needed. Our personal tour guides have special guiding permissions to most museums, but if the museum you're interested in is not on the list (like Central Railway Museum) then you pay for the guides ticket which is fairly inexpensive.)

If you think you will get tired of walking all the time during your trip to Saint Petersburg you can hire a car with a driver who will take you wherever you wish!

Having a private driver proves to be essential for doing The City Tour as you get the change to see the most remote places of the city. You can ask the driver to stop at any place you like for taking pictures or shopping, minding the traffic signs.

A driver is very useful when making trips to the suburbs of the city, like Pushkin, Pavlovsk or Peterhof. This enables you to save time and hit two or even three places a day, while using public transportation reduces your chances to seeing just one particular place.

When you hire a driver on an hourly basis there's an additional one hour charge for the delivery of the vehicle, minimum 4 hours (3 hrs + 1 hr delivery)

Please note that the clock with the driver runs from the pick-up at your hotel in the morning to the drop-off at the same place (or any other if specified) in the afternoon/evening. So, when you are visiting a palace or walking in the park you're still charged for the driver services, as the driver is waiting for you.

Most people coming to Russia don't know Russian. It's not a problem at all. A lot of people know at least few words of English and they will be happy to help you for free on the streets or cafes and restaurants.

But sometimes there will be probably situations when you need an interpreter for meeting a friend, an official ceremony or during a business meeting. It's always convenient to hire an experienced interpreter on an hourly basis.

Most of our guides studied to be professional interpreters and have degrees in Languages and Linguistics.
