Review:
Just the name gives you a hint that you are in for a fun, albeit eccentric, time. Emperor Norton's Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine is a unique, informative and fun walking tour of San Francisco’s historic spots. It is led by self-crowned and appointed Emperor Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, a colorful but very knowledgeable character San Francisco is famous for.
The two mile-long tours take about three hours and depart every Thursdays and Saturday from Union Square. You will learn about Lotta's Fountain, Union Square, Maiden Lane, The St. Francis Hotel, the 1906 earthquake and fire, and about Emperor Norton, of course.
