| We were pleasantly surprised to have such a personalized tour of Boston. Our guide, Saba, gave us interesting perspectives and details of Boston's revolutionary history as well as great tips on how to take pictures of each site. The tips on picture taking will help us beyond just this tour. This tour is especially great for beginning and intermediate photographers. |

| My brother and I did this photo tour of the Freedom Trail on a very blustery cold day. Saba was our tour guide. She did a great job of showing us how to take dramatic pictures , and how to turn an ordinary picture into a great picture by changing the angle of the shot, or zooming in on a part of the subject, not the whole subject. We learned a lot about the history of the Freedom Trail and North End. I would enthusiastically recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to take better pictures with whatever camera they have, and who wants to have fun while they are doing it. |

| We really enjoyed this tour. The leader was fun and interesting. She knew a lot of her Boston stuff, and was very good with photography suggestions. We saw a lot of interesting sites and got a lot of good pictures. Our guide was also very helpful with some of the people who did not know how to use all of the features on their cameras. We would highly recommend this tour. |

| 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. |

| 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 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!

| Being a photographer myself i really enjoyed the tour and learning the history as well as being pointed in directions a little more unique and not so "touristy" for photos.
the group that joined me also got a lot from this tour and some very creative ideas for there own shots..
I would recommend this tour to anyone with a camera...
very well done |
