What was your best taxi ride?

A few hours ago txteacher asked a question about worst taxi rides. My question looks at the opposite side. We have traveled by small aircraft for many years to remote locations. When we arrive we either need to walk or take a taxi to our destination, and we have had a few unique ones. At Lac La Biche in Alberta, Canada, the ambulance doubled as a taxi to take us on a tour of the local area and a stop for groceries and dinner at a local cafe. In Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada, the taxi driver took us out on the tundra to see Musk Ox (now that's an unusual animal). In San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico, the taxi driver not only gave us a ride to the nearby jungle, but arranged for a boat he could use to take us up the river to a nature center that specialized in crocodile research. I admit, these taxis are really remote and they may serve a different type of customer, but I am sure you have some other memorable experiences.
