Welcome to Wilmington, Delaware — a city with deep history, vibrant renewal, and a riverfront that has reinvented itself more than once. I’ll be your guide today as we explore a place where nature, industry, and American heritage all come together. As we drive, you’ll see the calm flow of the Christina River and Brandywine Creek — the very waterways that helped build this city long before highways and high-rises existed. We’ll pass through historic neighborhoods, waterfront paths, and the heart of downtown where business, art, and everyday life all cross paths. You’ll also hear stories of Swedish settlers, powerful industrial families, and leaders who shaped the nation — from signers of the U.S. Constitution to statesmen who represented Delaware on the global stage. Along the way, we’ll notice the hidden corners of Wilmington — the places that may not shout from a brochure, but quietly hold the city’s soul. We’ll take you from wildlife habitats to charming museums, from lively Market Street to peaceful parks where herons and joggers share the morning. And we’ll wrap it all up with an unforgettable finale at the Nemours Estate — a grand mansion and gardens that will make you feel like you’ve escaped into a European storybook. So settle in, take a look around, and enjoy the ride. Whether this is your first time in Wilmington or a rediscovery, we’ve put together a tour that shows the city’s past, present, and future — all from the comfort of your car. Let’s get rolling — Wilmington has a lot to share!

Let’s be honest—this stretch of highway isn’t exactly the Grand Canyon. It’s mostly trees, more trees, and just enough McDonald’s to make you wonder if you’ve been driving in circles. But here’s where things get interesting. Unlike your typical sightseeing tour, this one’s all about the unsightseeing. We’re not pulling over for monuments or museums. In fact, we’re not pulling over at all—unless your curiosity (or your bladder) says otherwise. In which case, we fully support your spontaneous detour energy. Instead, we’re bringing the stories to you. As we cruise past towns and cities—some famous, some forgotten—we’ll share fascinating, surprising, and occasionally ridiculous tales that shaped them. These are the places that launched revolutions, made headlines, inspired legends—or at the very least, have names that sound like rejected sitcoms. Now, here’s something important for this tour to work the way it’s designed: always follow the signs for I-95 South. Stick to the “Cars and Trucks” lanes, which are always on the right—do not take the “Cars Only” lanes. And skip the Express I-95 lanes; stay on the regular I-95. That’s how we’ll stay on track together. If you do have to leave the route, no worries. Just restart the tour by selecting the next Point of Interest as your new starting point. The app will navigate you there, and the tour will pick up seamlessly. So even if all you see out the window are trees and tail lights, we promise to keep your ears entertained with stories that’ll make you say, “Wait, that happened here?” And maybe even, “Okay, let’s take that next exit.” Ready? Let’s hit the road and discover the hidden stories along I-95—one mile at a time.

Seattle’s story is one of innovation and tradition, from its Indigenous roots and maritime legacy to its role in shaping music, tech, and pop culture. Along the way, we’ll explore vibrant neighborhoods, historic landmarks, and the dynamic atmosphere that defines this one-of-a-kind city. We’ll end our journey at the Museum of Pop Culture, a bold, interactive celebration of music, film, and innovation—an ideal finale to a tour that captures the creative spirit of Seattle.
