Milan: Private Golf Cart Tour of Highlights & Brera Art District

Summary

Electric ride past Duomo columns and Brera’s cobbles with a local

You’ll see Milan from an electric golf cart with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story — from Sforza Castle’s lions to Brera’s quiet corners. Enjoy iconic sights like the Duomo up close, pause for photos or gelato whenever you want, and feel both Milan’s energy and its quieter side along the way.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was how quiet the city felt from the back of that golf cart — not silent, but softer, somehow. Our guide, Marco, waved at someone outside a bakery near Sforza Castle and pointed out the stone lions (I’d never even seen them before, though I’ve walked past dozens of times). He told us about the castle’s old moat and how people used to sneak in — he grinned and said he’d never tried it himself. The air had that faint morning pastry smell mixed with street dust; it was early but already busy around the castle gates.

I didn’t expect to laugh so much on a Milan highlights tour. Marco joked about the “Ago, Filo e Nodo” sculpture — said it looked like a giant sewing needle stuck by accident in the grass. We zipped through traffic circles I’d usually dread walking across, then suddenly we were surrounded by glass towers in CityLife. The golf cart felt tiny next to all that steel and sky. There was this moment when we stopped at Sant’Ambrogio — bells echoing off stone walls, pigeons everywhere — and he explained why Ambrose matters so much here. I liked that he didn’t rush us; if you wanted to linger or skip something, he just shrugged and said “It’s your Milan.”

We rolled past the Columns of San Lorenzo where teenagers were sprawled on ancient marble like it was just another bench. Someone played guitar nearby — not well, but loud enough to make me smile. The Duomo came into view all at once, spires sharp against the sky. Marco offered to wait while we walked around Mercanti Square; my legs aren’t great but he adjusted the stop so I wouldn’t miss anything (apparently you can swap out stops if you need). The light bounced off those white stones in a way that made everything feel bigger than life.

By the time we reached Brera, I’d lost track of how many times I’d said “wait, what’s that?” It’s cobbled streets and little art shops tucked between cafes — honestly felt more like a neighborhood than a tourist spot. Marco recommended a gelato place (which was as good as he promised), and then just let us sit for a bit while artists set up their stands nearby. I still think about that view back down the alleyway toward the city center — kind of wish I could bottle that feeling for later.
