Saba is very knowledgable and helpful! A nice mix of history and photography. Accomodates all ages.

Whether you are a visitor or a local, an avid photographer or a tourist with a throw-away, you will find this tour educational and interesting. I am a lifelong resident of the Boston area, but Saba showed me sights I'd never visited! I enjoyed my first tour (Oct 2009) so much that I purchased a Gift Certificate for my mom as a present and went along with her for a 2nd tour this Spring (2010). Can't wait for my next one! Saba has extensive knowledge of the city's history, which she couples with a helpful, unique, hands-on photography lesson.

informative and fun.

Saba was an excellent tour guide - very personable and brought a lot of enthusiasm. She knew a lot about the area, so in addition to pointing out the unique photo ops, provided a good background of the area. She has a natural eye to find ways to present what looks like normal pictures in an interesting and creative way. Next time we're in Boston we plan on doing one of the other tours she offers.

This was a highly recommend tour and it lived up to the hype. It is a great way to see a city for any one who also wants to capture some great pictures. I would love to see this type of tour offered in other cities and will recommend it to anyone I know visiting Boston.

I had a wonderful tour with Photowalks in Boston's Back Bay. I learned a lot about this city itself, the architecture, and especially on ways to take memorable photographs. I haven't had my new camera very long and Saba was able to help me - a lot! - with ways to use it, tips, and ideas. Even though it rained part of the time, it was still well worth it and the rain itself actually made a lot of the photos more interesting!

My husband and I were in Boston for vacation and he is a photography enthusiast, always taking pictures, and has a great camera. I'm a scrapbooker. Our guide was able to tailor the tour to all levels, giving us all shots we could try, but giving my husband camera settings, etc. But still keeping it easy enough for a casual user. Our guide didn't have a big fancy camera so it wasn't intimidating. And she mixed in tidbits about the houses and people in the area. Our tour group was small, which was great. If we'd been visiting longer, we'd have taken another of her tours. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Saba was so knowledgable about the sights and photography! When I come back for another visit I'm doing more of her tours.

I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about both the area and the art of taking great photos. She took her time explaining things and answering our questions. I enjoyed the tour and came away with a lot of great photos.

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.

Saba was a wonderful ambassador for Boston. She shared a lot of stories about the area and guided us to some great photographs to remember our trip. The length of the tour was just right. I have already recommended the activity to several of our friends!

My friends from work and I really enjoyed this tour. It was fun and informative, and Saba was an excellent guide. She took the time to provide historical details and photo tips, which made the day even better. I plan to try one of the other tour locations (we did the waterfront one) in the fall.

I live five miles from Boston, have worked downtown for over 20 years, am very familiar with Beacon Hill, yet Saba was able to show me new ways of looking at it and I learned a few things about it's history that I never knew before. I highly recommend a tour whether you are from out of town or local. I now need to get back to editing the 150 photos I took.......

we had a wonderful tour of the freedom trial with Saba, she was informative, funny and had some great tips on taking interesting and creative photographs. i would recomend it to anyone who likes history and enjoys taking photographs. No need for a high tech camera, she shows you how to take great pictures with any type of camera. Its about a 2 hour walk at a easy pace. Great for first time boston visitors or anyone who would like to get re-aquainted with historic down town.

Saba is personable and fun. She set up many shots for me, so I came away with quite a few professional quality photos. In the process, she opened my eyes to new ways of visualizing potential shots, and helped me to use the features on my existing camera more fully. That alone was worth the price of the tour: Knowing I do not have to buy a better camera has allowed me to focus on the photography.
