A very professional service provided for the few days we were on Islay. We were a semi-large group and Lamb Taxi were always accomodating, professional and friendly. Would recommend to anyone requiring transport around the island

What can I say, amazing service from these guys. We were a group travelling the island for a few days to do some distilleries and walks. We were driven several times by Margaret Ann and Lucas, both fantastic drivers. Very punctual and professional, and also flexible if plans changed. Fantastic value also. Be good to them , as they will be very good to you.

Margaret Anne and Lucas were so kind and helpful - we changed almost every taxi for three days of transport for 9 people and they couldn't have been more accommodating and professional. The price at the end was very very reasonable. Always on time and able to adapt to dropping people who got up late at the various locations. We even got told stories about the distilleries as one of our drivers used to work at a few - just as good as a tour!

We had multiple trips with Lucas. He was very prompt in replying to our trip requests that were not pre-booked. He was kind and courteous and provided some great tips on exploring the island, including where to find a side trail to get to an old castle across a small bay from Lagavulin. The fares were also less expensive than the other taxi company we used as advertised. We highly recommend.

Excellent taxi service, reliable and professional. I booked the taxi last week to visit local distilleries and had a very pleasant experience. Would recommend Lamb Taxi to everyone.
