The city opens like a well-worn novel: cobblestones click underfoot, bell towers clear the air, and the Delaware River hovers at the edge of sight, daring you to look farther. On this private three-hour Outlander-themed walk, guides lead small groups along the same streets where Claire, Jamie, Fergus and Lord John might have moved through eighteenth-century Philadelphia — except here the past is layered into brick, mortar and narrow lanes.
