Very Fun Tour

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.

Our photo walk was just as I had hoped and better. Saba is an excellent guide and has great knowledge about photography. She knew how to help with camera settings as well. We enjoyed her commentary on Boston. A perfect balance of a Boston tour and a artistic education. I would recommend this for anyone who likes photography and wants to think about photos in a different way.

Amazing experience for locals or tourists

For her 30th birthday, I took my wife on the Freedom Trail Photo Walks tour with Saba. Prior to the tour, I had actually corresponded with Saba a number of times regarding time slots, tour preferences, the right camera, etc... I couldn't have been more satisfied to have had the opportunity to work directly with Saba in planning this event. She was son incredibly helpful The tour was so engaging and really well done. Saba is enthusiastic and creative in her photo walks business. Personally, I am not a photographer of any sorts, but couldn't help but find enjoyment in the experience. My wife thought it was such a unique and wonderful birthday gift as well. I did well!! =) We got a number of different photos and learned new techniques from working Saba in just an hour and half. I would recommend this tour and any others that Saba conducts for an awesome Boston experience. It DOES NOT make a difference if you are from Boston or not, have walked the Freedom Trail or Back Bay before because Saba will truly open your eyes to the beauty the city has through distinct photography opportunities!!

Beacon Hill Tour
Sat, Oct 2, 10   10:00 AM smchart Female 40-49 Local Individual
Saba did a great job with providing photo opportunities along with the historical tour. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was that I would have prefered a little more technical advice on camera settings to achieve the best picture - the focus of the camera skills was mainly photo composition, which I did find very informative.

A fabulous new way to view Boston!

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!

Fabulous walk about Boston

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 .

By chance I was the only one on the tour and this obviously made it more personal. However I am sure the experience would have been great even in a larger group. The tour covered areas I had already been in but Saba was able to help me see this through new eyes. She has a great photographic eye and is able to help you frame pictures in a more interesting and dynamic way. I would recommend to novice and intermediate photographers alike. Ivan

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.

A bit overrated

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.
