| We lived in New England for almost 5 years, so I'm familiar with with most of the sights in Boston. While recently accompanying my husband on a business trip, I wanted a tour that would provide me with a "different" view of Boston. Since photography is my hobby, the Photo Walk really appealed to me.
I booked not only the Beacon Hill tour but the Freedom Trail tour on the same day. Our tour guide and photographer Saba, greeted us enthusiastically and gave a brief synopsis of what to expect on the tour. The tour was fast past but the group size was small. Saba explained and demonstrated various ways to photograph sights to make our photos less mundane from the typical tourist photos. Saba was also well versed on history and facts of the sights we visited. She also made the effort to answer questions and to personally assist anyone who may have needed assistance.
This amateur photographer arrived home with many unique and beautiful photographs of Boston. I also have a new perspective of how to view and photograph the world around me.
Thank you for an enjoyable and informative day, Saba! |

| This was my second Photowalk tour and it was a great experience (just as the first tour). This tour was absolutely a great investment in the time - and the cost was extremely reasonable. |

| The history I learned from the walk was wonderful. The photos and the new knowlage I learned was priceless. I expected a lot from the walk and it did not let me down. Wish I could have done all her walks. It was the most fun I have ever had on a walk. When I got back and showed all the pictures, people were amazed and could not believe I took them. And with my point and shot camera. |

| This tour was definitely worth the time and money. If you want to learn how NOT to take photos (that seem boring once you get home to show family and friends) consider this tour a MUST do while in Boston. What you learn from Saba helps you take photos like a pro. When I got home to have a look at my photos they looked like something out of a magazine. I've learned how to frame photos with the right lighting and will take those skills with me wherever I go. I'm definitely going to be recommending Photowalks to all my friends and family who come to the Boston area. Thanks, Saba! |

| Saba's Photo Walk Tours are the BEST concept for a tour I could have hoped for. It was only by accident that I stumbled across her website, and I am so thankful that I found it. It was exactly what I was looking for, as who really wants a plethora of standard, non-impressive photos taken out of a bus window? Saba was highly enthusiastic and made the tour so enjoyable. The photos I was able to take are magnificant, and really capture the beauty of Boston. I highly recommend her tours! |

| I would recommend this tour to anyone. I spent a delightful afternoon learning about Boston and trying out new ideas with my camera. Saba gives you a good historical overview about special places along the Freedom Trail and helpful hints for photographing them. You go home with an appreciation for events long ago, the changing city today, and some great pictures. The tour ends in the North End, and afterwards I enjoyed visiting and photographing Old North Church, Copp's Burial Ground and the local neighborhood streets, inspired to try some of the techniques I had learned. Saba tailors her tour to any level of photographic experience. Family members who don't have cameras will also enjoy the tour with this very hospitable guide. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. We both learned alot about taking good photographs along with the history of the Freedom Trail in Boston. The only negative was that this tour was over booked. There was not enough time for everyone to stand in the right spot to get the perfect picture. A smaller group would have been better. This tour was taked on the 4th of July. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn history with a twist of photography. |

| 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! |
