Overview

Leave the car behind and come explore some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK with Chris in his vintage taxi.
It's not just pretty; it's an incredibly old landscape, and its history goes back beyond the dawn of civilization.
We don't just concentrate on ancient history; we discover what part of North Cornwall plays in today's modern world and in the security of the nation.
We visit forgotten castles; you'll hear of legends and heroes; you'll marvel at awe-inspiring scenery, and you'll learn to dowse.

A huge thank you to Chris and his Glenys for 2 wonderful days in North Cornwall. We spent part of our England holiday in Cornwall in September 2023 and booked a two-day guided tour with Chris. Chris offered us a balanced mix of historic attractions, breathtaking landscapes, interesting facts and curious stories. And always with us, Glenys, this lovingly restored London Taxi in top condition. But it wasn't just Glenys, who attracted attention on our trips, Chris, who was dressed in a vest, shirt, kilt and Dr. Martens, also caused a stir everywhere. You can tell how much passion Chris puts into his tours. We hat a lot of fun and would book a tour with him again at any time. We wish you continued success with your business.

We were entertained and amazed with this well researched itinerary which expanded to include two extra days, as it was such an enjoyable experience spending the time with Chris Terry and his Little White Taxi. Even our 10 year olds were in awe.. He listened to all our questions and made sure we didn't go hungry or thirsty and knew where the nearest WC was located . What an amazing experience this was for all of us. Thank you Chris Terry and your Little White Taxi
