Went with my friend from out of town. Saba is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, provided great tips of the history of the Back Bay and creative photography. We fully benefited from small group: only four of us. Tour was nicely paced, many opportunities to take interesting pictures. Anyone can enjoy this tour. |

The tour guide (Saba?) was extremely pleasant and knowledgable about the area we toured (Beacon Hill).
And, though both my husband and I are active photographers - for both family events and while traveling - we learned so much. I just did not believe I would learn so many neat tricks. I can't wait to take my next vacation to try them out! |

This is a good way to see some of Beacon Hill! Wear good walking shoes as you do encounter uneven surfaces with the cobblestones and bricks! Saba gave good photo tips but I would have liked more info on the history of the area, i.e., why it was important in Boston history and so forth! |

Nov.17, 2011 Camera Walk
Having read many reviews about the 20 person group tours, I arrived at our meeting point with a little trepidation, but trying to keep a positive outlook. I quickly realized there were only 8 of us on this warm, slightly overcast fall day. Saba made us feel so welcome and gave us many historical references and stories, as well as great camera tips for each photo opportunity we encountered. She kept telling us how lucky we were to have this overcast day without too much sun intrusion. This was a wonderful experience and I came home with some memorable shots. I continued to take photos the next day on the walking "freedom trail" remembering tips from Saba. I would highly recommend this tour especially in the off seasons of spring and fall so smaller groups are possible. |

An excellent way to view the City with tips on how to be creative with your camera, with the added bonus of having help at hand. A most enjoyable experience, which I would book again and again. |

The guide was excellent, fun and motivating however the group was much too large. We were too spread out, had to wait in lines to take a photo and the event was not as intimate as it should have been. It was not expensive but being a local person, I can easily walk around Boston and take photos at no cost. I think the photo tour is for more for tourists, although I would have enjoyed it more had there been 1/2 the people. Thank you. |

Address entered into GPS was 206 Washington, Boston. Garmin took me somewhere on Washington, probably
west, but by the time I tried to figure out 206 East I was much too late to join the group. It was a lovely day and I took some great photos on my own but do truly wish I had been able to be there for the tour. |

Took the Freedom Trail walking tour with Saba...and enjoyed every minute of it. I am, what I thought was a pretty knowledgable local, but I found out things that even I didn't know. She was also great with explaining my new superzoom camera to me. NOT a full fledged camera lesson, but great tips on composing images and tidbits about depth of field and stuff I have trouble relating too~even as an X-Ray tech!!
Not a bad walk, she does wait for you, if you get caught up in your photographing....but a steady walk past the Old State house, thru Faneuil Hall......watch those cobblestones....and a finish at Paul Revere's house...which I never saw before.....AND, it's a quick walk from there to Mike's Pastry, for some treats to bring home. I did bring a H2O bottle, but it was a perfect day for walking.
Planning to do another tour with her soon, and considering an Xmas season walk thru Beacoon Hill.(Christmas lights and all Victorian)
Highly reccomend Saba's tour. |

A very good balance between the historic and cultural information and the photo taking tips.
Great ideas about composition and how to "see" things you wouldn't haven seen by walking on your own.
Saba is very passionate and very kind; |

There were 20 plus people in the group and it was hard to really communicate with the tour guide. |
