We are from Finland and visited Boston for one week.
Before the trip we found Photowalk website and decided to go to the Beacon Hill Photowalk. It was money well spent and we enjoyed it a lot! Saba was really inspiring and gave a lot of good tips for better photos. She also told interesting stories about different places on the Beacon Hill. This was way better than the ordinary tourist guide tour! |

My daughter and I had a wonderful time on this tour. We enjoyed learning some very helpful tips on taking pictures and using our cameras. We had a perfect day of picture taking. Saba was easy to talk to, knew the history of the parkl, and she kept us moving at just the right pace. This 90 minute walking tour felt like a 5 minute walk. I will be telling all my friends about this photo tour. We can't wait to walk the Back Bay tour in the spring! |

The other people apparently cancelled, so I was the only participant. We covered a lot of ground, both literally & figuratively, since it was a one-on-one opportunity. She is obviously very familiar with both the history of Boston, as well as places to get great images, not to mention photo techniques.
I would definitely take one of her other walks when I have the chance to be in Boston again. |

In a few hours, I learned so much from Saba not only relating to composition and camera techniques but also background of the subjects that enhance my learning experience. I plan to sign up for more lessons. |

I'm interested in professional photography and figured that this might be a small step for composition and such. Loved that it was a small group (there were only 5 of us) and Saba had a lot of good historical information on what we were shooting as well as great composition ideas. I will be joining her on other walks in the future. Got a lot of information for the money I was paying! Enjoy! |

Well worth the tour booking!

I have had the privilege to walk the tour with Saba alone as a group had postponed to another date. We went to the Public Library and I was full of surprises to be shown a beautiful inner courtyard. Here I stood in a completely different world with photo opportunities galore! During our PhotoWalk Saba guided me to places and pointed out to fantastic shots, I would otherwise never have seen. On that morning it had rained and puddles produced amazing reflections. I was so excited as reflections are my favoured theme in photography.
Saba is a very knowledgeable and entertaining commentator on Boston's History. Next time I visit Boston, I will ensure to make more bookings than just one!

We enjoyed out PhotoWalks of Beacon Hill. We loved the history and beauty of the area.
With Saba's help, we began taking great photos. The tour has changed the way we use our cameras. We learned to be more creative and we are thrilled with the photos we took.
We plan to take more PhotoWalks this fall. |

Our photowalk was very enjoyable. I am not a photographer but I went with friends who are. I have never been to Beacon Hill and I found the tour very interesting. |

why enjoyable and only negative was size of group

THe guide explained in a very understanding way how to look at perspective photographic targets from a photographer's/artist's perspective. Enjoyable to talk with she appeared very knowledgable not only from this perspective but from a historical perspective. The only real negative was the size of the group (13) which when combined with the limited time led to some rushing of pictures. |

My husband and I just took the Beacon Hill tour with Saba and would highly recommend it! Unfortunately it wasn't the best day weather wise, but that didn't stop Saba from making it the best experience possible. She had a great attitude and her historical knowledge of the neighborhood only added to the experience. It started out being cloudy and very overcast, but eventually it did start to rain. Make sure you take an umbrella and a lens cloth in case of rain. Despite the rain - our pictures came out great. We wished we would have taken another tour with her - but we only had a few days in Boston. |

We had a great Photo Tour with Saba. Not only does she teach you what to capture in a photograph, she has a vast knowledge of Boston's history to share with you. This was my 3rd tour and I look forward to doing the Back Bay!
Book one now, you will not regret it!
Sincerely,
Pat McGreal |
