So much Fun!

We were a little nervous about going on a tour as the weather was looking a little grey. Saba's warm enthusiasm was more then enough to make up for the cold weather. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and loved the people who were on it with us. We learned a lot about Boston's Back Bay and took some great photo's around the area. We learned some interesting photo tips and will likely use them again on our next trip. Thanks for the great experience!

Saba was friendly and informative. It was windy but the light was good, so had the chance to take several nice shots. Even a basic point and shoot camera is fine. No knowledge of photography required.

Best 90 minutes in Boston you can buy

We visited the original Boston Public Library, the Trinity Church, both the old and the new Hancock buildings, and a handful of other locations all inside of 90 minutes. The walking probably was within a three block radius. You're not going to get any startling, or unbelievable photo tips or images on this tour. However, what you will get is a fascinating background for this part of the city, and some functional, useful, easy to remember ideas for how to compose images anywhere you may travel.

This tour was an hour and a half well spent. Our guide was knowledgable about Boston and about photography. She was friendly and helpful. I found her technique of talking a photo with her camera and then showing the group what the result would be very informative. I wish I had been able to take one of the other tours as well.

Fantastic overview of Boston's Back Bay

We had already spent a few days in Boston, exploring on foot, and had seen many of the destinations that Saba had intended to show us. Really appreciated her knowledge of the area and its history and the fact that she pointed out things that we had completely overlooked on our own. On top of that, we learned a bit about how to maximize some of the features on our cameras, and we have some fantastic photos as keepsakes.

I booked this tour as I had prieviosly done the freedom trail tour last year.I booked myself and 7yr old daughter on the Back bay tour.On the Sunday morning we had booked there was only myself on the tour,In England this tour would not have run so big thanks for not cancelling on us.Our guide was so helpful,kind and friendly. Both myself and daughter learned so much and have some fantistic shots of the beautiful city to treasure forever.

This is the fifth time I've taken one of Saba's tours, and she always shines! She helps me see my own city in a new way every time, and she makes it easy to show off the city to visitors. Saba is terrific with kids and adults, she knows the city, and can show you how to take a fantastic picture no matter what the weather. I wholeheartedly recommend these tours.

You'll see Boston in a whole different way

I liked the perspective on composition that you never think about, and the history that's told along the way. Our group was comprised of 2 locals and one out of town visitor and we all came away with awesome pictures, no matter what camera (I was using my iPhone only). I would recommend this to visitors and locals alike...pace was good, amount of time was good, and our visitor went on 2 other walks and thoroughly enjoyed each.
