PhotoWalks Tour of Boston's Back Bay

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.

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!

Informative guide. Great photo tips and a new way to look at the wonders of Boston.

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!

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.

I am actually an experienced photographer (wedding photographer on Long Island, NY) and found this tour wonderful. I think its such a great idea and provided a unique look at Boston. The photographer we were with provided great advice & phototips and I really captured some beautiful shots in Boston's Back Bay. Even my friend who did the tour with me enjoyed the experience even thou she is not a photographer. It really was a great experience and I would def recommend it to anyone visiting the Boston area! Two thumbs up!

* 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.

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.

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.
