Great historic tour and photo spots - Saba was very informative, and had not only the history to share about the places we went, but had all of the photo tips one could need. Should you need them. She’s done the tours for 22 years and one of her favorite spots to show the groups is a little street which is well photographed. I have the distinct honor of deciding to not photograph that street which, Saba told me, I was the only one in 22 years not to. It was great to learn so much history, and to see so much and so short of time as a first time visitor to Boston. Highly recommended.

Highlight of our trip to Boston - One of the highlights of our 4 day trip to Boston! I learned so much about the history and architecture of the Beacon Hill and Back Bay areas that I couldn't have put together from websites or any self guided tour. Saba is a fountain of knowledge and full of insights and tips on how to compose the best photographs using your smart phone. Years ago, I enjoyed her Freedom Trail tour so much I booked this one too, and she did not disappoint. A gracious host, she followed up with museum and restaurant suggestions. Highly recommend any Photowalks tours!

Very Nice Small Tour - This was a really nice tour. Saba did a good job of pointing out the history and interesting archtectural highlights of the buildings around Copley Square and Beacon Hill. It was a small group of 5, so it was very personal and even though we are from Boston we learned a few things.
