ABOUT THE TOUR
Everywhere Man invites Invisible City Tourists to solve a modern mystery while riding San Francisco's historic cable cars.

Tour participants will hear about a stranger haunting millions of tourist photographs that are taken around San Francisco and posted on the Internet, a man whose image quietly frustrates the fabric of the city's digital history.  "Everywhere Man," as he comes to be known, is constantly visible in the background of photos taken over years and across the city's landscape.  He has never been identified, his anonymity remaining unchallenged until the time comes when he can no longer be ignored.

The story unfolds aboard the cable car, then leads Tourists through a walking tour of Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square as the search draws closer.  The tour ends at San Francisco's Cable Car Museum where the machinery of the cars and cables are laid bare along with the identity of Everywhere Man.
