| This was a wonderful, extraordinary tour. Saba’s knowledge of the history of Boston was exceptional and the photo tips she gave were just terrific. The tour exceeded my highest expectations! I thought I knew Boston, but I saw it in a very different light because of our guide. I would recommend the tour most highly so much so I look forward to taking another tour in the near future. |

| The photoguide was very knowledgable about the historical monuments of Boston and provided excellent photo tips, such as the trying to get different angles of buildings to make the photos interesting. One photo that was really cool, was taking a picture of the Benjamin franklin statue from an angle that makes him look like he is walking in the woods instead of being in the middle of the city. Very good tour, would recommend to everyone!!! |

| I previously did the Beacon Hill Photo Walk. The Freedom Trail is my second with Saba. The photo suggestions are wonderful and Saba is very informative. My son lives and works in Boston and during my next visit I hope to do the Back Bay photo walk. I recommend this for anyone who wants to come home with some memorable and creative photos. |

| My new husband and I took Saba's photography tour of the Freedom Trail as part of our honeymoon in Boston. I think this was our favorite activity of the week!
History Lessons -- I had lived in Boston for many years, but Saba taught me so much I did not know, things I had never heard on other tours or read in books. She helped us to see this pretty city in a whole new way. A natural teacher, she tell stories in such a way that you will remember them after the tour. She was also able to pick up on what we were interested in and focus her narratives in those areas.
Photography Lessons -- Saba is a gifted photographer, and she helped us take photographs that were both artisitic, descriptive, and commemorative of our trip. She gave us several tips on how to take attractive, exciting pictures, and then advised us on how to apply those techniques at various stops on the Freedom Trail. Through her advice and by repetition of application, we were able to learn well these photography techniques. She followed up by sending us an email with the techniques and advice all written down so we can use them where ever we go!
I love the pictures we took, and have received many compliments on them after posting them on Facebook! Saba was also kind enough to take a few pictures of me and my husband, which we love.
Though we did not sign up for a private tour, it landed up being just me and my husband, which was nice -- though I think it also would have been fun to meet other people with smilar interests. Saba has a pleasant manner and is a clear instructor and encouraging teacher. She is also a storehouse of knowledge!
Totally worth the price. I hope to take another tour with her the next time we are in Boston. |

| 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 LOVED the photo tour of the Freedom Trail and North End. I've lived in Boston's North End for a year and a half, and my parents have been in the South Shore of Boston for almost 8 years, but we never knew a lot of what the tour provided. My dad is really interested in photography, so this was a perfect outing for him. We will definitely be taking pictures differently from now on! |

| Saba was able to fit some much into so little time. We would have spent so much more time trying to find these locations and then more time trying to find a great angle for the photo. I learned some new tips and took some great photos. This is not a technical tour it is a very informative and relaxing stroll though a great city. You can get as much or as little history that you would like. I asked several questions and she answered them all.
I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a sincere, professional tour guide that will help you enjoy your time in Boston, and the photos you take for a lifetime.
Thanks Saba!

| My 14 year old daughter and I spent an afternoon with Saba on the Freedom Trail walk. We really enjoyed out tour and the advice Saba gave us for taking interesting photos. We came home with beautiful photographs and a new way to approach taking photos on future trips. We highly recommend this unique way to enjoy a lovely city. Saba was very accomodating and informative. |

| We had the most enjoyable Photowalk of Boston last Saturday. Our guide was professional, friendly and informational. I was well pleased with my shots of Boston. I plan on taking additional tours with this guide. This was my second Photowalk with this guide and highly recommend this tour. |
