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! |

My 14 year old daughter and I spent an afternoon with Saba on the Freedom Trail walk. We really enjoyed out tour and the advice Saba gave us for taking interesting photos. We came home with beautiful photographs and a new way to approach taking photos on future trips. We highly recommend this unique way to enjoy a lovely city. Saba was very accomodating and informative. |

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. |

I was expecting a lot from the tour, it delivered and then some. I had so much fun learning about the area. Loved learning about new way's to take pictures. I got so many great pictures it is hard to decide what to print and put on my walls. Wish I could have taken more tours while I was there. |

Fantastic Photo Tour

Since I'm local to the area, I've been on countless walking tours of Boston over the years. This tour that combined the Boston sights and stories with an eye for capturing great photos was a perfect combination. I really feel like I learned some great camera tips that I can't wait to try out on my own. I would recommend this kind of tour for both tourists and locals. Saba is a fantastic tour guide, and I can't wait to take another of her tours |

The Back Bay photo walking tour was everything I had hoped it would be. Saba, our guide, gave us photo tips, plus lots of interesting information about what we were seeing. A great bonus, adding extra value, was the email she sent after the tour which reinforced all of the photography skills emphasized during the walk. |

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. |

Great time with personalized attention. This was our second trip to Boston and second time going on the PhotoWalks tours and it was like visiting a friend we know in the area. Saba helped us take several great photos of my wife and I and learned quite a bit of history and trivia along the way. Try to spot the cruise ship. |

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

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. |

The photowalks tour with Saba on Beaconhill was fantastic. I was very unfamiliar with the area but instantly fell in love with it, and Saba was able to point out every little detail and knows the area intimately. I would definitely take this tour again and will recommend it to all my friends. |

For her 30th birthday, I took my wife on the Freedom Trail Photo Walks tour with Saba. Prior to the tour, I had actually corresponded with Saba a number of times regarding time slots, tour preferences, the right camera, etc... I couldn't have been more satisfied to have had the opportunity to work directly with Saba in planning this event. She was son incredibly helpful
The tour was so engaging and really well done. Saba is enthusiastic and creative in her photo walks business. Personally, I am not a photographer of any sorts, but couldn't help but find enjoyment in the experience. My wife thought it was such a unique and wonderful birthday gift as well. I did well!! =)
We got a number of different photos and learned new techniques from working Saba in just an hour and half. I would recommend this tour and any others that Saba conducts for an awesome Boston experience. It DOES NOT make a difference if you are from Boston or not, have walked the Freedom Trail or Back Bay before because Saba will truly open your eyes to the beauty the city has through distinct photography opportunities!! |

I enjoyed the tour through Beacon Hill. Our guide was extremely helpful in both helping identify excellent photograph opportunities as well as providing a historical backdrop to this beautiful part of Boston. I highly recommend for any amateur photographer. |
