Had a wonderful time on the tour learning about the history of Beacon Hill. Saba was wonderful and I'm very grateful for all the little tips she provided along the tour. Definitely get a different perspective on what you're looking at and learning about.

Personlized History and Photography Tour
Sat, Oct 31  1:00 PM Pyamashita Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We were pleasantly surprised to have such a personalized tour of Boston. Our guide, Saba, gave us interesting perspectives and details of Boston's revolutionary history as well as great tips on how to take pictures of each site. The tips on picture taking will help us beyond just this tour. This tour is especially great for beginning and intermediate photographers.

My brother and I did this photo tour of the Freedom Trail on a very blustery cold day. Saba was our tour guide. She did a great job of showing us how to take dramatic pictures , and how to turn an ordinary picture into a great picture by changing the angle of the shot, or zooming in on a part of the subject, not the whole subject. We learned a lot about the history of the Freedom Trail and North End. I would enthusiastically recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to take better pictures with whatever camera they have, and who wants to have fun while they are doing it.

Fun and interesting

We really enjoyed this tour. The leader was fun and interesting. She knew a lot of her Boston stuff, and was very good with photography suggestions. We saw a lot of interesting sites and got a lot of good pictures. Our guide was also very helpful with some of the people who did not know how to use all of the features on their cameras. We would highly recommend this tour.

A great walking tour.

Saba has a great eye for composition and thanks to her advice I not only got good photographs and learned about the Boston Garden and Beacon Hill areas. I have taken a photography course but I think I learned more from Saba about composition and setting up a picture than I did from the course. My wife is not an avid photographer and only took a couple of pictures, but she also really enjoyed the tour.

Great experience
Wed, Aug 19  10:00 AM sparky6nh Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
My daughter and I did this photo tour for her eighteenth birthday and both had a great time. Our guide did a very nice job of pointing out details in the city that could easily be overlooked as well as relating relevant history and showing us how to incorporate those details and history into our photography. By showing us how to capture a setting with her own camera, the guide also helped us develop more of an eye for creating more interesting pictures. We did the Beacon Hill tour last year and are looking forward to the Back Bay tour next year!

We enjoyed a lot!

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!

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.

why enjoyable and only negative was size of group
Thu, Jul 23  1:00 PM rmikkels Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Extraordinary Tour

This was a wonderful, extraordinary tour. Saba’s knowledge of the history of Boston was exceptional and the photo tips she gave were just terrific. The tour exceeded my highest expectations! I thought I knew Boston, but I saw it in a very different light because of our guide. I would recommend the tour most highly so much so I look forward to taking another tour in the near future.

Intimate and engaging tour
Tue, Jun 2  1:00 PM ncmoogks Male 20-29 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I let a friend take all the photos while I came along for the history. The tour was an intimate group of three which left plenty of time for photographs and one-on-one interaction with Saba. Saba was well-informed about everything on the tour. I think there were only one or two questions that I had that she didn't know the answer to. Unlike other tour guides, Saba did not overwhelm us with information but she was more than willing to embellish any story if we wanted to find out more information. The tours were well paced and we never felt rushed. We had plenty of time to explore the route and to take the photos that we wanted. I had only planned to take two of the five tours before I arrived in Boston, but after I took the first two I immediately took the other three. I would highly recommend these tours to a friend.

Highly recommend this tour, Beacon Hill is a beautiful area and Saba was a terrific guide who gave some great tips on how to take interesting photos and showed us how different angles could really enhance a photo. We took some beautiful photos as a result! Can't recommend highly enough.
