ファッション首都イタリアのミラノ・イン・スタイルゴルフカートツアー

Milan, Italy is an impressive, sophisticated epicenter of genius, forward- thinking architects and furniture designers, fashion market dominance and worldwide financial prowess. It constantly surprises; for this city is fully loaded with unexpected curveballs and out of left field factoids as our guide Ludo of Lechuguita Travel Agency would reveal. From his six person chariot, he would dynamically peel back the layers of this multi-layered metropolis. So it went. We galavanted through the city where the happy hour aperitivo phenom was created (and is going strong in the city’s last canalled neighborhood Navigli where sidewalk cafes come alight at night). Where saffron risotto was cooked up and panettone is served to celebrate the holidays year-round. There, via golf cart we would access elusive courtyards, rarely traversed palazzos and back-alleys of nearly all eight of its remarkable and distinctive flavored districts. Under the esteemed tutelage of the handsome, multi-lingual ( English, French, German, Spanish and Italian) tour meister Ludo of Lechuguita Travel and his swiftly maneuvering VIP Luxury Golf Cart half or full day citywide, we would more fully begin to truly crack our own version of this alluring and inscrutable city’s own DaVinci Code. DaVinci was based in Milan for two decades. Here he created his masterwork The Last Supper. With his life and work come some of Milan’s closely held secrets: Even more would be revealed from the lips of Ludo of Lechuguita Travel, our in-the-know, in-the-loop master guide. Throughout our multi-hour afternoon immersion course details would emerge revealing in part the full scope of the great DaVinci’s contributions to the Milanese economic and cultural landscape. These would include the invention of the lock system, converting an intricate canal system, that no longer exists today. With an absence of sea water, the locks would transmute these canals into a complex, highly-effective global trade network. The locks would then play a key role in shaping Milan into Italy’s, and, for that matter, the world’s, power-brokering financial hub that it is today. In Ludo’s capable hands: WE CAME aloft the lavish golf cart where Ludo picked us up and showered light on our residential Dergano outskirting base. WE SAW the city’s authentic sprawling contrast of its Old World and fully contemporary Chinatown, the second oldest in the EU; the lyrical and enticing artsy and fashion ateliers of once magical and metaphysical Brera; the edgy bohemian converted industrial spaces of Isola, evocative of New York’s artists’ lofts of Soho in its early years. Of course we paid homage to the iconic duomo, castle, and, overarching galleria; the towering curving record-breaking skyscrapers and vertical forests of Porto Nuovo and City Life, boasting the residences of many of Milan’s top-ranked soccer players and Italy’s tallest building; its signature gargantuan conceptual and deconstructed avant garde sculptures, notably our tour’s culminating heroic towering sculpture - the middle finger. This famed/ infamous piece defiantly faces off with the city’s Stock Exchange, boldly expressing Milan’s indefatigable spirit of invention, self expression, freedom and the indomitable will to overcome adversity. Seeming to shout: “Let the spirit of Milan inspire and awaken all who enter its Roman ruins of its Medieval gates, and thus be made more fully aware of its vibrant and futuristic ferocious soul of innovation!” All this and lots more courtesy of Ludo’s red letter comprehensive VIP Luxury Golf Cart Tour into Milan’s sublime treasure trove of earthly delights - exceeding expectations!!!

Such a fun way to see Milan on a HOT summer day. We drove around in style and enjoyed the breeze. Our guide Ludo was very knowledgeable and personable. He found all the shady spots and gave us plenty of time to hop off and see the sights. I highly recommend this!

Our tour guide Lucy was wonderful! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared a lot of interesting history and local insights about Milan throughout the tour. She made the experience enjoyable and was happy to answer questions, which we really appreciated. She was prompt and on time with the beginning and ending of our tour. She took us to as many places as she could, but because of the golf cart’s limitations with parking, restricted roads, and pedestrian-only areas, there were a few landmarks and parts of the city we had hoped to see but couldn’t access. We understand that these limitations were completely outside of her control. Overall, we enjoyed exploring Milan by golf cart, and it was a fun and comfortable way to see the city. That said, considering the price, we felt the experience didn’t quite provide the value we expected. While we’re glad we did it, we’re not sure it was entirely worth the cost. The guide herself, however, did an excellent job and made the most of the tour despite the logistical limitations.

This was a great way to see Milan. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Ludo was a very informative guide and knew an amazing amount of the history of the city and region. There is no way we could have seen so much of the city in such a condensed time frame with any other tour.

This was the perfect tour for us! Our tour guide made us feel included showed us great sights and some hidden grmd

Ludovico is excellent sharing his love for Milan with us. A great way to get a full taste of the city.

Bumpy ride when on cobblestone streets. Very enjoyable and saw many diverse neighborhoods and buildings. Our driver Lucido spoke excellent English since he studied in the US. Very knowledgeable on history, recommendations for sights and restaurants, and comparisons to US. My husband walks with a cane so good way to see a lot without walking too far.
