It was worthwhile, informative and fun.

My husband and I both enjoyed Photowalks tour of Freedom Trail very much. The tour guide was very patient and spent lots of time describing the various monuments and best ways to photograph each of them. I would recommend the tour to anyone. And it was not too expensive.

Not for Serious Photographers
Tue, Mar 24, 09   12:00 PM cmiskow Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Historically, the walk was wonderful and the guide was very knowledgeable. The photography tips, however, were more geared towards "vacation snap shot shooters" than serious artistic photographers. I was expecting tips regarding aperture, depth of field and exposure setting; the tips I got were mainly "set the camera on automatic, point and shoot." She discouraged the use of a filter, which I thought was somewhat limiting to my own creativity and often suggested shots that I felt were traditional "post card views" rather than encouraging the photographer to look for a new point of view or a new take on a familiar setting. If what you are looking for is photographic memories of yourtrip to Boston, then this is your ideal tour; however, if you are a serious hobby shooter, take the tour, leave the camera in the hotel, then retrace your steps the next day on your own.

Different fun from a trolley tour

I enjoyed the tour a lot. Actually walking through the town was a different experience from a trolley bus tour. You can stop and learn the details, and after the tour it made me feel more familiar to the area. Also the activity of taking photos with some advices was very interesting. Back at home, many pictures taken from angles I had never thought of made a nice photo album of the freedom trail. Highly recommended. I would like to take another tour again.

I would recommend this tour to anyone with a camera... very well done

Wow! History meets photography: A perfect combo!

Saba, did a super job! She knew her history, as well as her photography. Boston is SUCH a great city, and this was the perfect way to explore it. It was a nice balance of historical information & photography techniques & composition. Saba is a true professional in every sense of the word. She loves what she does & that really translates! Thank you for a wonderful day, Sincerely, Lisa Katilus

Great history lesson with bonus of fun pictures

Saba was very nice and informative. She provided a great history lesson throughout the tour along with helpful hints on how to photograph important landmarks. She was able to "tweek" the tour for our specific wants and needs. Would recommend again!
