| 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 decide to do the Beacon Hill tour to celebrate our thirtieth birthdays. We've grown up in the Boston area and it was a fun way to take a close-up look at our city in a way we never see day to day. |

| The photowalks tour with Saba on Beaconhill was fantastic. I was very unfamiliar with the area but instantly fell in love with it, and Saba was able to point out every little detail and knows the area intimately. I would definitely take this tour again and will recommend it to all my friends. |

| 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. |

| Because my friends and myself are from Boston or the immediate area, we were familiar with the geography of Beacon Hill and had walked the streets a number of times before. However, your narration added fun and interesting facts and we enjoyed being introduced to new aspects of our town. |

| 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. |
