What People Say About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
How is payment made?
Payment is usually made upon completion of the service, either in cash or by bank transfer. Monthly deferred billing is available for regular customers and partner establishments. The exact terms are agreed upon at the time of booking and clearly stated in the quote—no surprises, no hidden costs.
Does the tour include a guided walking tour?
No. Knight NCC offers a private transportation service with a dedicated private driver—not a certified tour guide. The driver is familiar with the area and can provide general information about each village, winery, and point of interest along the route. For in-depth guided tours of museums or monuments, we can recommend qualified local guides and assist with reservations upon request.
Can I customize the departure time?
Absolutely. The departure time is completely flexible—we’ll leave whenever you’d like. If you’d like to be in San Gimignano at sunrise before the crowds arrive, we’ll arrange an early departure. If you prefer a more relaxed mid-morning departure, no problem. Just let us know when you book, and the driver will be there right on time at the agreed-upon time.
What happens if it rains?
The tour takes place as scheduled. San Gimignano in the rain has a different but authentic charm—the quiet alleyways, the towers emerging from the fog, the cozy wine bars. The tour is never canceled unilaterally due to weather conditions. If inclement weather makes certain outdoor stops inadvisable, we’ll let you know in advance and suggest alternatives. The final decision is always yours.
Is admission to the towers guaranteed?
Admission to the monuments and towers in San Gimignano is not included in the tour price and depends on the sites’ opening hours. The driver will accompany you to the entrance and wait for you when you’re ready to return. Upon request, we can help you check opening hours and, where possible, book tickets in advance to avoid lines—especially during peak season.
Do you have child car seats?
Yes. Child seats are available upon request—simply let us know when you make your reservation, specifying the child’s age and weight so we can provide the most suitable approved child seat. The Mercedes V-Class is particularly well-suited for families thanks to its generous space and flexible seating configuration.
