| Had a wonderful time on the tour learning about the history of Beacon Hill. Saba was wonderful and I'm very grateful for all the little tips she provided along the tour. Definitely get a different perspective on what you're looking at and learning about. |

We enjoyed a lot!

| We are from Finland and visited Boston for one week.
Before the trip we found Photowalk website and decided to go to the Beacon Hill Photowalk. It was money well spent and we enjoyed it a lot! Saba was really inspiring and gave a lot of good tips for better photos. She also told interesting stories about different places on the Beacon Hill. This was way better than the ordinary tourist guide tour! |

| 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 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. |

| 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. |

| I really enjoyed this tour. Love to play with the camera to get the best shots possible. This tour taught a bit about Boston and also allowed one to play with the camera and get good shots. The lady had a very good feel for how to take good pictures. I look at them at home and I am very happy about the results.
I will definitly look for this type of tour in other cities also. |

| I define my photography level as advanced amature, and although the techniques shown were not new, the experience of the guide was spectacular. Residents and tourists walked by many of the sites and photo opportunities that only a guide can show. Also the narration of the history was an added bonus.
If you have time, and are in Boston, the photo walk will impress you. |

| I went on the photowalk to get tips on shooting pictures, but was pleased to learn a bunch about Boston during the process. Saba does well to show you both the history and different ways to look and capture a scene. Well worth the price and time. |
