Superb combination of history and photography techniques - I was so delighted with this tour. I had chosen it because it advertised instruction in photography techniques, and the last photography class I took was prior to the advent of digital photography. Not only did I learn how to acquire and process images on my phone, but also concepts about grouping, color contrast, and framing. This alone would have made this a spectacular tour. However, because I mentioned that I would probably also take the conventional Freedom Trail tour, we modified my original plan to focus on Beacon Hill. I was fascinated by the history and vibrancy of this storied region in Boston. I am almost tempted to take another tour in a different part of town to learn more photography techniques and history.

Absolutely a must - Saba was awesome. I would totally recommend this tour. She was extremely knowledgeable and I am not a history buff but really enjoyed it. Also it was as smaller group than some of the other tours we saw along the way. I appreciated that and I think some of the places we stopped , specially the Parker house would not have happened with a larger group. Thank you Dana for a great tour .

Book this tour - you’ll love it!! - As this was our first visit to Boston we wanted to do something on our first day which would take us around the city and give us an insight to the history, particularly relating to the Tea Party & the War of Independence, so we chose this tour for its assurance on the group size. Didn’t want a huge group where it’s difficult to hear and ask questions. Our guide, Saba met us as promised and it turned out it was just us (my husband, Saba and myself), which was wonderful. Saba is a beautiful lady, who really knows her stuff and we had a brilliant time. She pointed out ways of getting some amazing photos even with just an iPhone. She answered question after question and we ended our tour feeling like we had gotten to know the city so much better and it’s rich history. We also felt we had made a real friend in Saba and we will never forget her. We really can’t recommend this tour enough and if you are reading this, you are encouraged on the strongest terms to book and enjoy! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks again Saba, you made our Boston trip all the better!
