Join us for a fantastic day out on the city!

Emperor Norton’s Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine begins in Union Square and then proceeds down Maiden Lane to Lotta‘s Fountain. From there, we go by the Palace Hotel, up Montgomery Street through the Financial District, a brief stop at where the Emperor used to live, then by the Transamerica Pyramid, the Barbary Coast, the old Colombo Market entrance, and then conclude at the Old Ship. Along the way the Emperor shall regale you with stories of all the sites we are visiting.
