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. |

Because my friends and myself are from Boston or the immediate area, we were familiar with the geography of Beacon Hill and had walked the streets a number of times before. However, your narration added fun and interesting facts and we enjoyed being introduced to new aspects of our town. |

A delightful day on PhotoWalks in Boston

I was so very lucky to be the only client for the 2 tours I booked. Saba proved to be a wonderful tour guide and I saw numerous places I would not have found otherwise.
The PhotoWalks is an ideal way to see parts of Boston not visible from the tour bus and of course to capture some exciting photos.
I would recommend the tours to all. |

Tour offers a very friendly presentation that is flexible and considerate of all who participate. The combination of historical perspective, photo interest, and unique applications are fundamentally shown with an interactive approach that holds your interest throughout the tour from all angles. A very rewarding experience. |

Address entered into GPS was 206 Washington, Boston. Garmin took me somewhere on Washington, probably
west, but by the time I tried to figure out 206 East I was much too late to join the group. It was a lovely day and I took some great photos on my own but do truly wish I had been able to be there for the tour. |

Fun Time With PhotoWalks

I've done 2 of the PhotoWalks Tours - Boston Waterfront & Beacon Hill. That having been said, I would not have taken the second tour if I felt that it was not worth my time and/or money. I highly recommend Saba and her PhotoWalks. She gives both historical information, as well as, valuable photo tips during the 90 minute tours. Saba is very pleasant and makes every effort to see that her customers' questions are answered and that they enjoy themselves. I think that she does a great job and that her Photowalks Tours are a good deal for anyone interested in learning a little about Boston and in taking photos of this great city of Boston! |

This was my second Photowalk with Saba, and I continued to learn from her. I especially enjoyed the time we spent in the library, one of my favorite places in the city. I spend a lot of time in the beautiful Boston Public Library but had never taken interior photos before. Saba had some great ideas for creative angles, and I'm very pleased with the photos.
Our group was small, so there was time for individual help. Saba taught me a few things about the controls on my camera which I should have known but didn't, and I think she helped others with their cameras. She's friendly and non-intimidating.
She had some interesting stories to tell about the places we visited in the Back Bay. It's a great concept to combine a walking tour with photo tips, and I hope Saba's creative approach to photography will influence my photos of places wherever I go. |

Seeing the details of Boston

I participated in the Back Bay Walk and the Public Garden Walk and enjoyed both. There were only three of us on the Back Bay walk and we each had point and shoot cameras. Saba trained our eyes on door knockers, windows and street scenes that would be missed on the usual tours, all the while providing interesting information about the area. I managed to take postcard quality photos, and used the newly gained knowledge the next day as I visited and photographed other Boston sights The Public Garden tour had about 9 people with varying types of cameras. I noticed that she gave very helpful advice to those with SLR cameras as to best settings, etc. Saba also helped me find optimum settings on my Point and Shoot as well as continued tips on interesting composition and techniques. on my next visit, I will do the waterfront tour.
Owner,guide Saba offers well-planned tours, is prompt, manages to spend time with everyone and is a delight. |

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 Beacon Hill Photowalk was an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday morning, walk around a beautiful neighborhood of Boston, learn some interesting things about the neighborhood, and get some helpful ideas on how to take more interesting photos of places. Saba was very friendly and completely non-intimidating. Her photo instruction is not so much technical as it is about finding new ways of seeing, taking photos from different angles, noticing details that one doesn't usually pay attention to.
I live in Boston and will definitely go on more of Saba's Photowalks. I hope I will be able to use what I learned to take better photos both here at home and when I travel. I think this would be a great activity for visitors to Boston. |
