Real Reviews from Real Riders
We made the mistake of trying Uber and waited a half hour for no results. Then we called Olympic and Bob answered, said 10–15 mins, was there in 10. We arranged a pickup time to return and he was there.
Bernie and his team were a pleasure to work with. They arrived on time and worked with us on last minute transport changes. Would recommend this service to anyone looking for a reliable taxi.
Bob is the best taxi driver in Lake Placid — awesome guy, awesome service. He is so knowledgeable of the area and is keen to get you where you want to go.
We used Olympic Taxi multiple times throughout our stay at Lake Placid. Bernie always showed up on time — even when we were in a pinch.
