Had a great start near the statue of George Washington with everyone scrambling to get the butterfly posing for us on the flowers and my wife got a nice shot of a bee. We stopped by the gardens a couple days before and took some pictures and it was interesting to compare what we took verses what Saba pointed out as good shots that we missed. So get there early and take some shots to see how much more you learned after taking the tour. |

Saba was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Her passion for Boston and photography was infectious. The tour was a great way for tourists and locals, amateurs and accomplished photographers, to learn about Boston and record their impressions photographically. |

I had a wonderful photo walking tour with Saba through the Boston Garden area. Saba gave both contextual background on the different focal points (statues, flowers, boats, places, etc) as well as great composition advice. I'm sure with enough time and a history book you could figure out some of the background information, but her composition ideas are priceless. Saba also happens to be a very nice person as well who goes out of her way to tailor the tour to your desired focus. She isn't a franchise, so know that if you book a tour with PhotoWalks that you are booking a quality experience. Thanks again Saba! |

Fabulous guide - great with local lore and history, and fantastic at getting us to see things differently - incredible improvement in my shooting. Would recommend most highly for all types of photographers, and I will come back for the other tours, and will bring out of town guests as well. |

Great value. It was over before I knew it. The outcome was a fresh perspective and a handful of very nice photos. I enjoyed the experience. The spring flowers were past their prime but the swans made up for it. Saba was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the fond memory. |

This is our second tour with Saba. She is fully a top notch guide of both photography and traditional Boston experiences. We took the Flower tour which included some Beacon Hill as well as Louisburg Square. Saba provides her artistic eye for interesting and memorable photos and is filled with spot on information about any site we were observing. A tour with Saba is not to be missed. We will be touring again with her. |

I was fortunate to be the only person on the tour of the Boston Public Garden, so I got to ask unlimited questions of Saba.
She was very informative and encouraged me to look at the usual scenes with a different eye, a different angle and a more intuitive approach.
There were so many more questions that I could have asked her! Not only was she an informative photographer, she had many bits of information of the history of Boston and I think she would probably be a great friend!
I would encourage anyone to take the tour, and to keep your fingers crossed that you were a part of a small group! |

Saba has a great eye for composition and thanks to her advice I not only got good photographs and learned about the Boston Garden and Beacon Hill areas. I have taken a photography course but I think I learned more from Saba about composition and setting up a picture than I did from the course. My wife is not an avid photographer and only took a couple of pictures, but she also really enjoyed the tour. |
