| I consider myself to be an avid photographer and my camera equipment always travels with me to destinations. I randomly came across PhotoWalks' tours of Boston and thought it was right up my alley. I couldn't be more right! This is the kind of tour you go on if you want a close up look at a part of Boston more native city dwellers never pay attention to. You learn a bit of history as you go along, but you guide really wants you to gets some amazing photos too! You are one in a small group (my tour only had four people plus our guide) and you all have the same objective. You don't have to worry about not hearing your guide or getting lost along the way in a group of fifty other tourists! When I return to Boston, I plan on taking another PhotoWalk tour and only wish there were more tours like this one everywhere! |

| We had a very limited amount of time in Boston and Saba was able to show us a great deal of Boston that I would have missed if I was on my own. The pace was great for photographers and if I came back, I would try another one of her tours. |

A great activity for visitors and locals alike!

| Whether you are a visitor or a local, an avid photographer or a tourist with a throw-away, you will find this tour educational and interesting. I am a lifelong resident of the Boston area, but Saba showed me sights I'd never visited! I enjoyed my first tour (Oct 2009) so much that I purchased a Gift Certificate for my mom as a present and went along with her for a 2nd tour this Spring (2010). Can't wait for my next one!
Saba has extensive knowledge of the city's history, which she couples with a helpful, unique, hands-on photography lesson. |

| I had a wonderful tour with Photowalks in Boston's Back Bay. I learned a lot about this city itself, the architecture, and especially on ways to take memorable photographs. I haven't had my new camera very long and Saba was able to help me - a lot! - with ways to use it, tips, and ideas.
Even though it rained part of the time, it was still well worth it and the rain itself actually made a lot of the photos more interesting! |

| We were a group of 5 adults local to the area. We loved the small group size and Saba's photo tips! Great historical commentary - even learned a few things about the Back Bay and went to places we had never been too. Highly recommend for adults and children interested in history and photo taking. |

| I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about both the area and the art of taking great photos. She took her time explaining things and answering our questions. I enjoyed the tour and came away with a lot of great photos. |

| Saba is personable and fun. She set up many shots for me, so I came away with quite a few professional quality photos. In the process, she opened my eyes to new ways of visualizing potential shots, and helped me to use the features on my existing camera more fully. That alone was worth the price of the tour: Knowing I do not have to buy a better camera has allowed me to focus on the photography. |

| Saba was a wealth of information. She presented it clearly as well defining photographic opportunities. She also demonstrated the shot to be taken so that each member of the group could enjoy the experience.
The 90 minute Back Bay tour was enjoyable and informative.
We recommend this photowalk to those visitors who want to experience the nuances of an area. |

| The Back Bay photo walking tour was everything I had hoped it would be. Saba, our guide, gave us photo tips, plus lots of interesting information about what we were seeing. A great bonus, adding extra value, was the email she sent after the tour which reinforced all of the photography skills emphasized during the walk. |
