Welcome to Boston, Massachusetts—one of America’s oldest cities and the place where history, culture, and innovation all come together. Founded in 1630 by Puritan settlers, Boston grew from a small colonial town into the “Cradle of Liberty,” where the seeds of the American Revolution were planted. This is the city of the Boston Tea Party, the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, and the first reading of the Declaration of Independence. On these streets, ordinary citizens took extraordinary steps that changed the course of history. But Boston isn’t just about revolution—it’s also about reinvention. From its early days as a seaport and marketplace, to its rise as a center of education, science, and medicine, Boston has always been a city that pushes boundaries. You’ll see that mix everywhere we go. Cobblestone streets in the North End still echo with the footsteps of patriots, while grand boulevards like Commonwealth Avenue showcase 19th-century elegance. Modern towers like the Hancock Building rise beside historic treasures like Trinity Church. And neighborhoods from Beacon Hill to Back Bay all tell a different part of Boston’s story. Along the way, we’ll pass world-class cultural landmarks like the Museum of Fine Arts, Fenway Park, and the Boston Public Library. We’ll point out the quirky spots too—from the Cheers Bar to the bench where Robin Williams filmed Good Will Hunting. And of course, we’ll explore the flavors of Boston, from North End cannoli to the city’s obsession with seafood and chowder. Boston is also a city of firsts: the first public school, the first public library, the first subway, and the first great American ballpark. Famous figures like Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Paul Revere, Louisa May Alcott, and Martin Luther King Jr. all have ties here, leaving their mark on both the city and the nation. So buckle up as we set off on this driving tour of Boston. We’ll blend history with fun facts, point out landmarks on your left and right, and give you a true sense of what makes this city so unique. From revolution to Red Sox, from cobblestones to skyscrapers—this is Boston. Let’s hit the road!
