You'll be glad you went!

Great tour! Saba is very knowledgeable and personally assists each individual without being the least bit condescending. Doesn't matter if you have the fanciest digital SLR or a disposable camera, she treats everyone exactly the same. She is also very efficient, covering a lot of ground in a short time and keeping everyone on track. There were ample opportunities for interesting photos, all tailored to real time weather and site conditions. I would never have gotten these shots if I hadn't taken the tour. I participated in the Back Bay walk, but I wish I had more time in Boston so I could have gone on all of her tours!

Photowalk tour 1

A great time we had had with Saba, our guide, really friendly ! I took two of her tours ( Back bay and Public garden ), and me and my father really enjoyed them ( despite he doesn't even speak english, because we come from France ). We start the tour really on time ( despite a missing person in the group, so we didn't have to wait and be dalayed in our schedule ). Saba really opens our eyes and make us enjoyed even more Boston, with her different point of view to take some great pictures !

In a few hours, I learned so much from Saba not only relating to composition and camera techniques but also background of the subjects that enhance my learning experience. I plan to sign up for more lessons.

As a local, I may see Boston in a different light from those that are visiting. I've taken architecture and design for granted, until I went on this tour! Saba is such an excellent host - she shared great knowledge about the creative artistic opportunities we captured on our cameras. I can't wait to take the other tours she has to offer!

I thought these tours were wonderful (I also did the Beacon Hill Tour) and I can't believe the photos I took were mine! Saba is so accommodating and I will be taking another tour in the future.

Saba knows all the great places in Boston when you want great pictures. I accidentally ordered tickets for the wrong day, she was kind enough to let us reschedule even though this is not usually possible.

Amazing!

An enjoyable, eye opening and educational experience! I am a local and yet was actually introduced to new sites. Saba's camera techniques were easy to apply, resulted in interesting shots and she was always ready to answer questions. Her followup with additional information was a great bonus. I highly recommend!

a fun & educational event!

I learned more from Saba about photography than I ever could have imagined. We covered a lot of territory and she included local tales of our travels. It was a great deal for the fee charged. The various trips made it easy to fit in to a tight schedule. Highly recommended!!

why enjoyable and only negative was size of group
Thu, Jul 23  1:00 PM rmikkels Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
THe guide explained in a very understanding way how to look at perspective photographic targets from a photographer's/artist's perspective. Enjoyable to talk with she appeared very knowledgable not only from this perspective but from a historical perspective. The only real negative was the size of the group (13) which when combined with the limited time led to some rushing of pictures.
