| I let a friend take all the photos while I came along for the history. The tour was an intimate group of three which left plenty of time for photographs and one-on-one interaction with Saba. Saba was well-informed about everything on the tour. I think there were only one or two questions that I had that she didn't know the answer to. Unlike other tour guides, Saba did not overwhelm us with information but she was more than willing to embellish any story if we wanted to find out more information. The tours were well paced and we never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to explore the route and to take the photos that we wanted.
I had only planned to take two of the five tours before I arrived in Boston, but after I took the first two I immediately took the other three. I would highly recommend these tours to a friend. |

| We had a great time on this tour. In addition to learning to take better photos we also learned a lot of the history of Beacon Hill. She demonstrated how to set up our photos better . In the future I will think more creatively before snapping a shot. She was a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed ourselves. |

| It was wonderful to be able to learn about the area and it's history in addition to learning how to see everything through my lens in a way that made everything more interesting. Our group was small and it felt like my own personal tour. Saba has a wonderful way about her and I was excited to take pictures of everything! And the pictures turned out great. My friends and family were very impressed, as was I. Thank you! |

| For photography lovers, local people and visitors alike. Photo opportunities abound and, on top of that, you learn a little history about Boston and its people. Saba is a great guide, is so helpful and friendly. Don't hesitate to take part in one of these photowalks. |

| 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. |

| The tour is not about learning the technique, but about the composition. Nice walk, learnt about the history, took some nice pictures.... a bit of everything. |
