Photography is a hobby I am passionate about and when on vacation, I take it seriously. This tour and the 3 others I took with Saba, were a wonderful way to get to know Boston and to find spots to take good pictures to remember it by. Saba was very knowledgeable and helpful in doing both. Friendly, enthusiastic and flexible, she geared the tours to the season and the needs and skills of the individuals on them. She shared suggestions and demonstated positions for good shots. Her tips for camera operation and settings were very helpful. Additionly, she gave information about the area and tidbits of history along the way. After the tour, she made sure we could find our way back to our transportation. That was important to a person directionally challanged like myself in a place like Boston! I would definitely recommend any of these tours to visitors and locals alike. Thanks for a great time, now I am enjoying my pictures and will continue to try what I learned to improve my creativity in photography.

Saba was very knowledgeable and helpful in doing both. Friendly, enthusiastic and flexible, she geared the tours to the season and the individuals on them. This tour ended up to be private, so we did not even really get to the waterfront but stayed in area I preferred - beautiful peak fall foliage and Halloween decorations.

A lovely way to spend a morning exploring a beautiful neighborhood. Lots of photo tips and opportunities to ask questions. After the class on Beacon Hill we went to Charles St for lunch it was a lovely day.

The Beacon Hill Photo Walks tour was very informative. The tour was well rounded for those who had point and shoot cameras as well as digital SLRs. The shots Saba set up were interesting and helped me to expand my photographic skills. She also told a bit of history and pointed out things of interest throughout the walk. I would have preferred a smaller group (we had 9), and a bit more technical information about camera settings and light, but given the group of varied levels of experience, she handled us well. (And to be fair, I didn't ask a lot of questions... Too busy taking photos!) I think it's a great tour, a fun way to spend a few hours, and it was interesting to see how someone else sets up a shot. Worth the money!

Saba is seriously the best. She takes her time with the tour and the people in the tour. She helped me out and every single person in the group. Great tour for just about everyone :)

We had a great time with our guide. She suggested some great shots and was helpful with camera settings. The group was small with just 3 of us on the tour. This made it more enjoyable for me to not be in a large group. She also suggested a great bakery for us to try. We took her advise and were very impressed with the quality of the desserts we got. Overall it was a great time and a fun way to see some of Boston's Back Bay.

Saba was an excellent guide. Very interesting to hear the history of everything as well as get some great photography tips. Would definitely recommend.

I was looking for a way to see a part of Boston that I hadn't seen before and I love to take picture of places I have been. This was a perfect way to combine the two! Saba took us on a tour of Beacon Hill and gave us a history of the area, while at the same time showing us new ways to see places and the objects around us. She helped me to use my camera to document where I have been in ways I would never have thought before. She is very knowledgeable and makes the walk interesting!

We loved the tour Saba gave of points of interest along the red brick Freedom trail in Boston MA. She provided interesting tips and vantage points for stunning photos of historic city icons , as well as interesting historic commentary along the way. We plan on returning this winter to take her Back Bay tour and hope we can have some snowy scenes to bring home .

I really enjoyed this tour with Saba, and my pictures of Boston improved after this walk. I am an advanced amateur and though I would not call this a technical tour, I still learned some great tips that will stay with me for life. I so enjoyed the history of Boston that Saba is well versed in. I found very interesting the "out of the box" shots that she showed us how to take. Even if you only have a small point and shoot camera, you will not feel overwhelmed.

I received a great history lesson from Saba and also great photo tips. I took many great photos - the only thing I had a hard time adjusting too was staying on track to take the pictures of things Saba was touring. As we walked on the tour, I wanted vere off and take photos of other things I found interesting but felt as thought I needed to keep going to complete the tour. I recommend it and recommend you back track and take any photos of things you saw along the way. Saba was great and was very patient with me if I decided to take photos of other things along the way.

Saba was very sweet and you can tell she knows photography well, however I found myself less than thrilled with the shots we got. Nothing exactly new and exciting that I couldn't have learned from digital photography school website. I have a DSLR and I expected more suggestions on lighting/shutter speeds/aperture than just composition. We took too many reflection and door knocker pictures at Beacon Hill. I wouldn't do it again. I would have just walked the Black Heritage Trail on my own and saved ourselves $60.

Great Tour ! Great Photo shots and tips !
