PhotoWalks Tour of Boston's Back Bay

Went with my friend from out of town. Saba is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, provided great tips of the history of the Back Bay and creative photography. We fully benefited from small group: only four of us. Tour was nicely paced, many opportunities to take interesting pictures. Anyone can enjoy this tour.

Saba was very helpful, we are new to photography and she was very detailed in her explanations it was a great time

I've never been on a tour like this before and I typically avoid all activities that could be classed as touristy. The walking tour round Copely Square was superb and was one of the major highlights of our time in Boston. Our guide was very knowledgeable both about the history of the city but also where to take the best shots from and we've ended up with some wonderful photos taken on the tour. Overall, very worthwhile and excellent value for money.

* Provides an introduction to an important part of Boston for out-of-town visitors. * Saba has carefully selected photographically interesting sites, and has good ideas about how to take interesting photos. * The pace is good, with the right amount of walking.

With the help of our guide we got some great pictures from Bostons Back Bay. She gave some quick tips on composition that will be helpful on future photo outings.

This is my second "walk" with Saba and again, she did not disappoint! Saba is very knowledgeable in both the history of the area where you walk, as well as photography and cameras. In addition, she is patient!! She has great insight into unique photo opportunities and you will find yourself looking at everything differently after her tour. She will take the time to make sure that you get the best shot. This time I brought along my 13-year old daughter and she loved it as well. I wholeheartedly recommend these Walks.

This was my second Photowalk with Saba, and I continued to learn from her. I especially enjoyed the time we spent in the library, one of my favorite places in the city. I spend a lot of time in the beautiful Boston Public Library but had never taken interior photos before. Saba had some great ideas for creative angles, and I'm very pleased with the photos. Our group was small, so there was time for individual help. Saba taught me a few things about the controls on my camera which I should have known but didn't, and I think she helped others with their cameras. She's friendly and non-intimidating. She had some interesting stories to tell about the places we visited in the Back Bay. It's a great concept to combine a walking tour with photo tips, and I hope Saba's creative approach to photography will influence my photos of places wherever I go.

I really enjoyed the Back Bay tour I took. Saba did a great job of showing me spots to take certain pics, as well as giving me some tips in general on how to take better pictures. In addition, I also learned a little bit of the history of this area and a few buildings in it. She was very nice, and the time flew by. If you're wondering if the tour is worth it, the answer is yes. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Boston. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

I really enjoyed this tour - I am always being left behind on guided tours because I want to take pictures of the places visited. But this tour was just for folks like me. In fact not only could I take all the shots I wanted but Saba pointed out very nifty angles and views - and also gave tips on how to use parts of my camera more effectively.

My daughter and I were visiting Boston (from Dallas) as a potential location for her to attend graduate school. We are both avid amateur photographers, and she found the Boston PhotoWalks tours online & thought it would be a fun thing to do while there. We did the Back Bay one - primarily because of the various photographic opportunities of that particular tour, but also because we were staying in that area. It met and exceeded all our expectations! Saba was amazing, giving us tidbits of history while showing us some creative angles and tips for photo composition. It was truly a great experience, and we would highly recommend it.
