First Rate Car Service in Manchester - My husband and I arrived in Manchester Piccadilly Station by train from a week in Edinburgh. The next day we had the pleasure of meeting Mike Daniels and had our first personal encounter with Manchester Taxi Tours. Later our son-in-law flew in from the USA and joined us in Manchester. Mike's black cab became our second home! Several months earlier, I'd reached out to Mike with a list of places near Manchester that after doing genealogy research I'd found where my husband's father's family had been born, married or died that we might like to visit. Mike realistically helped me plan three day trips, as well as a Manchester city tour and trip to Manchester City Stadium (our grandson in New Jersey's a big fan) in Ardwick and to Levenshulme two places on my list of family places to see. Our first day we drove to the seaside to Lytham St Anne's and Blackpool. Another day Mike drove us to Ashford-in-the-Water and Bradwell, two family places on my list, with visits to Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House in the scenic Peaks Natinal Park area. Mike found us a delightful Aisseford Tea Shop in Ashford for scones and the local famous Bakewell tarts. I would like to point out that Mike's Manchester city tour is outstanding and we learned so much about the city's port history and diversity. We viewed the system of canals the city is built on. Although we'd planned to take the train from Manchester to Liverpool we instead asked Mike if his schedule allowed could he drive us and we are glad we did. His cab, as in hackney carriages accommodated our luggage up front. Mike was most gracious, charming and professional and his cab was comfortable and clean. Both my husband and I are in our 80's and I do need to use a cane and Mike was always there to offer assistance. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mike Daniels' services if you are in need of a car and driver in Manchester and greater Manchester. You will not be disappointed.

Miles and Smiles - What an amazing tour, Mike was a great guide, knowledgeable and funny. I have lived in Gretaer Manchester for 57 years and never seen the hidden places, gems and amazing sights before. Access to these places all in the comfort a London Black Cab, get to places people never really see.

Mike’s Manchester Taxi Tour is Fantastic! - Mike gave us a wonderful tour of Manchester in his Black Taxi Cab. What a friendly, engaging, informative, entertaining, accommodating gentleman Mike is! If you are in Manchester, this is the perfect tour. For us, it was a fantastic solution for our very long layover at Manchester airport. I contacted Mike through Viator ahead of time and for a reasonable additional amount, he met us in the arrivals hall at the airport in the morning with a sign. Then we went on his wonderful tour learning the history and seeing the sights of Manchester. We hopped out of the cab at several spots for a better look and pictures. We had extra time before our next flight, so Mike dropped us at an historic pub for delicious beef short rib pie for me and fish & chips for my husband. Mike picked us up again and on the way back to the airport stopped to show us the Manchester United Football Stadium. A fantastic day, thanks Mike!

City taxi tour - Had a fantastic time on this tour, Mike is such a nice and knowledgeable guy! We have both lived in Greater Manchester all our lives but we learned SO much. Mike’s love for the city shone through and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. In fact, I’ll be back because my husband wants to do the tour now! Thank you Mike

Best taxi tour in Manchester by far! Loved it! - Absolutely brilliant tour of Manchester! If I could give 6 stars I would. Mike was a fantastic guide- very informative, funny, patient (one of the participants had mobility issues). The tour of Manchester lasted around 2 and a half hours, and we were also picked up from home and dropped off by Mike after the tour. Suitable for both locals (you will discover things you never knew were there!) and tourists alike. Mike has loads of recommendations for food and drink, museums and days out in Manchester. Would highly recommend!!!
