Bermuda Taxi Tours
While there are quite a few organized Guided Bus Tours that are available in Bermuda, taxi tours can give you options in terms of choosing the specific attractions that you want to visit as well as time flexibility.
On top of it, if you consider a per person rate, this could be a cheaper option compared to the organized private tours by vans or mini buses.
Usually the private van or mini-bus tours have fixed routes and coverage, and operate on fixed timings. Taxis that way give you a lot more flexibility. However all taxis in Bermuda are not suitable for such private tours. You should look for the ones that have blue flags fluttering or insignia on their bonnets. Then you know that the Taxi Driver is also a government certified tour guide of Bermuda.
Such taxi drivers are known as Blue Flag certified tour guides and usually have a wealth of knowledge about the island. Some of the tour guides have special areas of interests like history, art, architecture, flora & fauna, military/maritime history, etc.
Some of the taxis in Bermuda are wheelchair accessible and are suitable for persons having physical challenges or disability. Taxi drivers in Bermuda are not allowed to charge any extra for the persons with disability. Some of such taxis may be suitable for electrical wheelchairs and some for manual, but usually not for both.
Note that there are no Car Rentals in Bermuda. Therefore a private tour in a rented car is not possible.
Rates for Private Bermuda Taxi Tours
