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. |

This is the fifth time I've taken one of Saba's tours, and she always shines! She helps me see my own city in a new way every time, and she makes it easy to show off the city to visitors. Saba is terrific with kids and adults, she knows the city, and can show you how to take a fantastic picture no matter what the weather. I wholeheartedly recommend these tours. |

I signed up for this tour with my 13-year-old godson (who was visiting Boston from out of state). We both had so much fun on the Beacon Hill tour. Saba combined just the right amount of history with photography tips. I just looked at my photos from the walk and they are just fantastic. It might be a little pricier than other walking tours, but Saba is so gracious, so knowledgeable, and took such an interest in William and me that it was totally worth it. Whether you're a local or visiting from out of town, this is definitely a tour to take! |

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 was able to fit some much into so little time. We would have spent so much more time trying to find these locations and then more time trying to find a great angle for the photo. I learned some new tips and took some great photos. This is not a technical tour it is a very informative and relaxing stroll though a great city. You can get as much or as little history that you would like. I asked several questions and she answered them all.
I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a sincere, professional tour guide that will help you enjoy your time in Boston, and the photos you take for a lifetime.
Thanks Saba!

Managed somehow to be the only person on this tour ... we decided to do Beacon Hill and the Public Garden ... COMPLETELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE ... Saba is incredibly knowledgeable about Boston history AND about photography. We instantly clicked and had a whirlwind tour. Got some of my best shots ever. Learned SO MUCH about photography AND Boston! I am definitely coming back! Thanks Saba! |

I booked this event as something to do while my parents came to visit me, as I have just moved to the city. I was a little apprehensive at first just because none of us are experienced photographers by any means. This was not a problem at any point in time, we were well instructed by a very knowledgeable guide. We had a great time, and it was a really interesting way to see so many details of a small part of such a great city. Everyone agreed it was a great tour, and we plan to return! |

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. |

Great value. It was over before I knew it. The outcome was a fresh perspective and a handful of very nice photos. I enjoyed the experience. The spring flowers were past their prime but the swans made up for it. Saba was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the fond memory. |

Zaba offered a very educational tour of the Waterfront of Boston that encluded valuable historical knowledge and picture worthy photo destinations that encluded the North End. I was able to capture composition, as well as her vision, for what turned out to be a rather focused tour - suitable for framing. Her walking tour was grossly underpriced for time spent and information received. I'm thinking seriously of another tour with her at either the Back Bay or Beacon Hill sites. I highly recommend her tour ... thank you Zaba! |

I really enjoyed this tour - I am always being left behind on guided tours because I want to take pictures of the places visited. But this tour was just for folks like me. In fact not only could I take all the shots I wanted but Saba pointed out very nifty angles and views - and also gave tips on how to use parts of my camera more effectively. |

The Boston Public Garden and Beacon Hill was my second photo walk with Saba. She is enthusiastic in sharing her knowledge about the city and about how to take specatular photos. Great for locals as well as visitors!

We had a really nice time doing the tour. The lady doing the tour was lovely and gave me lots of great ideas about how to look at the things we saw in a different way. If you are looking for a lot of technical information this may not be the best tour but if you need help setting up shots to make them more interesting and learn a little more about the history of the area it is great. I'm looking forward to doing more of her tours and maybe taking my 9year old with me next time. |
