| This being our first trip to Boston, we wanted to learn and capture the most we could of a specific area. We are a group of friends who are amateur photographers. We chose the Beacon Hill photo walk. We were truly surprised and greatly rewarded by this tour. Not only were we taught new photo techniques, but our instructor, Zaba, also gave us much history, and appreciation of the area which made it that much more interesting. She took the time to answer all questions and many times used her own camera and photo's to show us how to capture an effect. As a group we were sorry we didn't have more time to take advantage of her other photo walks. I highly recommend any tour she offers in Boston. |

| Having just returned from a photo tour of Morocco with a nationally known photographer, I was very pleasantly surprised at the professionalism evident in this well thought out tour of Beacon Hill. The tour group leader encouraged us to look at the scenes in new and unique ways, pointed out what we might have missed and suggested angles for shots we might not have thought of. She even carried her own point and shoot camera so she could explain her suggestions and demonstrate what we might get if we followed the suggestion. Very well done! |

| I signed up for this tour with my 13-year-old godson (who was visiting Boston from out of state). We both had so much fun on the Beacon Hill tour. Saba combined just the right amount of history with photography tips. I just looked at my photos from the walk and they are just fantastic. It might be a little pricier than other walking tours, but Saba is so gracious, so knowledgeable, and took such an interest in William and me that it was totally worth it. Whether you're a local or visiting from out of town, this is definitely a tour to take! |

| We had a wonderful time with Saba. She shared very creative photographic insights with her home town of Boston. We really enjoyed ourselves on the tours and appreciated her patient nature. We went on three different tours with Saba & enjoyed each one. Each tour was different. |

| My 12-year old son and I toured Beacon Hill with Saba and we both absolutely loved it. We both took gorgeous photos and learned so much. I purposely scheduled the tour at the beginning of our stay so that we could incorporate tips into the photos we took the rest of our stay - worked perfectly. Highly recommend! |

| I found this tour to be very enjoyable. Saba is a very good guide, knowledgeable about photography with good tips, both for photographing this neighborhood and photography in general. Saba is a very personable lady who also has a good knowledge of the history of Beacon Hill as well.
While geared for photography, this is an enjoyable tour for non-photographers as well. If you are into photography, I would encourage you to have your non-photographer members of your party to join as well. This is a good tour for anyone with an interest in photography, from someone experienced to someone just starting out. |

| You may be wondering to yourself, "Do I really want to spend the money" on a walking photo tour. My answer is yes because you will be guided by someone who not only knows the historical perspective of the area being toured but also has local knowledge of current residents. You will be prodded gently into seeing through your camera from angles you may not normally employ. I appreciated all the info presented on the tour as well as the photo tips. Enjoy your time on a PhotoWalk Tour. |
