Wonderful Walking Tour - We spent an afternoon with Saba walking around Beacon Hill, and found at each stop we learned something new and interesting about the various houses and locations (we live in Boston and have walked through this area often). We also enjoyed seeing some of the hidden courtyard gardens, and Saba was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and residents (both former and current) of Beacon Hill. A wonderful way to get to know Beacon Hill, and I would highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous Tour - I had the best time! It was a rainy day but very beautiful. It was just Saba and I. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and I learned a lot about the houses, buildings and people both past and present. She truly loves the area. I got great tips on photo taking with my iPhone and am excited to put my new “skills” to use! Thank you for such a wonderful time!

Lovely time in Beacon Hill - Saba is a delightful host for the Beacon Hill neighborhood. She has been giving tours for 20 years or so, and knows the back stories of the area. She gave us some great tips on how to photograph the area and our pictures are gorgeous! If you are interested in learning things about Beacon Hill that are not in the guidebooks, and you want to come away with some beautiful photographs, this tour is for you.

Great tour with Saba. - This tour with Saba was absolutely fantastic. She is so smart and knows the area extremely well. She makes the tour so personal because she knows people who live in the community and told us of many interesting back stories. She was open to all questions and always had an answer. I found her pacing very comfortable. Saba was such a great tour guide, that we took another one of her tours the very next day. She also gave us some really cool photo ideas with our I phones. Thank you Saba for being such a sweet person and making part of our Boston visit so memorable. Greg and Iris from Los Angeles.

This was a unique and fun... - This was a unique and fun walking tour. It ended up being a private tour, and Saba had such great stories and knowledge of the area. She answered any and all of our questions -- whether it was about photography or the area. She suggested great shots and framing tricks as well as took some pictures of us, which was appreciated. We liked that it was a casual pace and we could hear stories that might not be typically shared.

Great Walking Tour with Added Fun - A lovely walking tour highlighting historical and architecturally interesting homes in the Beacon Hill district. The added fun on this tour is learning how to take more visually interesting photos. The guide, Saba, is friendly, knowledgable, and loves to share stories. I enjoyed this more leisurely, laid-back walking tour.
