Beacon Hill Tour was great
Sat, Sep 13, 08   10:00 AM msklynnw Female 30-39 Unspecified Unspecified
It was wonderful to be able to learn about the area and it's history in addition to learning how to see everything through my lens in a way that made everything more interesting. Our group was small and it felt like my own personal tour. Saba has a wonderful way about her and I was excited to take pictures of everything! And the pictures turned out great. My friends and family were very impressed, as was I. Thank you!

A pleasant way to learn about the Public Garden.

I had a most pleasant walk through the Boston Public Garden during the tour. I am familiar with the park, but learned a great deal about some of the statues, monuments and trees. I learned a great deal about how to get the best angle to get really professional looking pictures. The tour guide was very pleasant and gracious. She was very patient in showing me how to take pictures - getting the right angle, lighting, etc. I would definitely recommend taking this tour and would like to plan on taking another tour in the future.

Great Experience
Sat, Apr 27  12:30 PM JesPop713 Female 30-39 Local Other
For my sister's birthday, I wanted to give her an experience rather then a gift. She loves history and I not so much. We have lived in Massachusetts 45 minutes from the city for over 30 years and have never done the freedom trail. Since she loves history so much I decided to suck it up and go on the tour. But me being more of a creative type thought that I could make it more enjoyable for myself by doing the Photowalk tour, at least that way I could get something out of it. Saba did a great job combining history and creativity in the tour. Though I did learn about some of the history of Boston and I was actually not bored, I also took over 120 pictures, most of them being frame worthy. I have taken granted the beauty that is held in this gorgeous city and it took looking through the lens of my camera to remind me what I have within a quick drive. I am by no means a photographer, I enjoy beautiful things and I can point and click my camera, nothing fancy. However with Saba's help you would think I was a professional. She made great suggested shots and was good at keeping us moving and allowing me to spread my creative wings a little with my shots. I would recommend this tour to those who want something fun to do that is looking for a more unique experience. I would love to do it again and try a different area! Thanks Saba we will be back!

Great second Photowalk with Saba

My husband and I had taken a Photowalk of Back Bay earlier in the year, and enjoyed it, so when our niece who loves to take photos came for a visit, we signed up for a Photowalk of the Freedom Trail. Learned a great deal about our history and how to effectively photograph the sites that document it, while thoroughly enjoying a great walk around our fabulous city of Boston. Saba is great, very knowledgeable, and super patient with camera novices like me. Will definitely sign up for another photowalk and tell our friends about it too.

Great way to see the city in a new way

Loved this tour. My friend and I had been talking about this for awhile and finally just picked a day. We did the Waterfront tour and even though we'd both been there a million times it was great seeing it from a different perspective and learning new tricks with our cameras. I've been here for years and gone on many tours with visitors, but I still learned new things. Definitely a different way to explore the city.

Always a fun time!

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.

Great tour with wonderful little photo tips
Fri, Jul 13, 12   10:00 AM BackEastBev Female 50-59 Local Individual
I took the Boston Waterfront Tour because I wanted to get some good shots of places I don't normally go in Boston. I always seem to gravitate to the Public Gardens when I'm on my own. Saba gave enough historical info (even for those of us who grew up in the Boston area) and her photo tips along the way were very good: reflections, silhouettes, and unique angles. I enjoyed it so much I am going to take the Beacon Hill Tour and the Freedom Trail/North End Tour if it ever cools down enough on a Tuesday or Friday before I have to start teaching at school again.

You'll see Boston in a whole different way

I liked the perspective on composition that you never think about, and the history that's told along the way. Our group was comprised of 2 locals and one out of town visitor and we all came away with awesome pictures, no matter what camera (I was using my iPhone only). I would recommend this to visitors and locals alike...pace was good, amount of time was good, and our visitor went on 2 other walks and thoroughly enjoyed each.

Fantastic Photo Tour
Sat, Jun 30, 12   10:00 AM julierez Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
Since I'm local to the area, I've been on countless walking tours of Boston over the years. This tour that combined the Boston sights and stories with an eye for capturing great photos was a perfect combination. I really feel like I learned some great camera tips that I can't wait to try out on my own. I would recommend this kind of tour for both tourists and locals. Saba is a fantastic tour guide, and I can't wait to take another of her tours

great way to see historic parts of Boston

The tour was well paced and hit the most important parts of the Freedom Trail. It was enough time to improvise with picture taking and Saba's comments were helpful for taking various types of shots. Thank you!

Excellent tour

Went with my friend from out of town. Saba is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, provided great tips of the history of the Back Bay and creative photography. We fully benefited from small group: only four of us. Tour was nicely paced, many opportunities to take interesting pictures. Anyone can enjoy this tour.

We TOTALLY loved this tour
Tue, Mar 20, 12   12:30 PM Tinabrown87 Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
The tour guide (Saba?) was extremely pleasant and knowledgable about the area we toured (Beacon Hill). And, though both my husband and I are active photographers - for both family events and while traveling - we learned so much. I just did not believe I would learn so many neat tricks. I can't wait to take my next vacation to try them out!

Scale of 1 - 10, 6
Sat, Oct 1, 11   10:00 AM Maschlichte Female Unspecified Local Individual
The guide was excellent, fun and motivating however the group was much too large. We were too spread out, had to wait in lines to take a photo and the event was not as intimate as it should have been. It was not expensive but being a local person, I can easily walk around Boston and take photos at no cost. I think the photo tour is for more for tourists, although I would have enjoyed it more had there been 1/2 the people. Thank you.
