| I used to live in Boston and had visited Beacon Hill numerous times. This tour really fills you in on the history of the area combining excellent photography tips along the way. I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in beacon hill or photography alone since there are so many wonerful things to take pictures of. I will definately be taking the other tours that are available. |

| I enjoyed the tour through Beacon Hill. Our guide was extremely helpful in both helping identify excellent photograph opportunities as well as providing a historical backdrop to this beautiful part of Boston. I highly recommend for any amateur photographer. |

| My sister and I went on the Beacon Hill photo walk and we both just loved it. We didn't want it to end. Saba was so nice and personal. I was amazed that even after doing these tours for 7 years, she still seemed just as excited to do it like it was her first one. She was very interesting too with all the facts she knew. She had a wonderful eye for pictures. It was so fun to walk through those beautiful streets and see things how she does. It was such a fun experience that I will definately do another tour with her. |

| My husband and I just took the Beacon Hill tour with Saba and would highly recommend it! Unfortunately it wasn't the best day weather wise, but that didn't stop Saba from making it the best experience possible. She had a great attitude and her historical knowledge of the neighborhood only added to the experience. It started out being cloudy and very overcast, but eventually it did start to rain. Make sure you take an umbrella and a lens cloth in case of rain. Despite the rain - our pictures came out great. We wished we would have taken another tour with her - but we only had a few days in Boston. |

| Pay the extra $10 per person to get a private tour, it was well worth it. |

| 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. |

| Saba was great and gave some excellent tips about picture taking. She knows the history of the neighborhoods really well and makes the tour really interesting. She'll help you bring out your creativity and motivate you to take more and more pictures and explore other cities and neighborhoods on your own. The Creative Photography Guide she sends is also very helpful. |

| Not only did I get some great shots, but I also learned a lot about the area! I was hoping there would be more of a photography lesson involved. |

| 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. |
