Lovely tour - Saba is a great guide who pointed out so many interesting details in Beacon Hill. This tour is like the saying, "stop and smell the roses." You walk and see a lot of things you would probably just pass by or simply notice but never bother to find out about, but Saba gets you to stop, look and learn!

Don't miss Saba's walking tour! - 100 out of 10 would recommend a walking photo tour with Saba, she was amazing! She was so friendly and you can tell she LOVES sharing all the fun facts about Boston and all the stops along the way. There were so many areas we would've just walked right past, but hearing the story behind what you would otherwise deem "just a door" or "just a window", made the area come to life! Saba gave us great tips for some of the photo opps, and offered to take photos of us so that we could be in some together. I wish we had more time in Boston so we could do more tours with Saba. She also emailed us links so i could further learn about some of the important figures in Boston's history. If you are in this amazing city, do not miss this tour! Saba, we will not forget our amazing time here, thanks to you!

Remarkable photo walk in Boston - combined with the history of Boston - When I signed up for this day, I was very excited. It exceeded all of my expectations, and Saba, the photographer who led the experience, amazed me. She was so friendly and was a wealth of information about Beacon Hill. I have lived in Boston and knew very little about this area. The tidbits she would come up with just further piqued my curiosity. I have not done much of my photography on the iPhone. Saba helped me to frame things in a way that had not considered - and, what a difference it made. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, did some great photography and I intend to sign up again. Saba is outstanding!!!

Beacon Hill come to life - Excellent tour! We (my teen son and I) walked up and down Beacon Street before the tour and Saba took us back behind to the neighborhoods and told us all about the more regular people. Very interest facts and made it very relatable. Fascinating and she had lots of interior pictures of homes to make it really come alive. Acorn Street was very cool and the diversity of people really amazing. The slave couple who fled north in disguise and also the first home on Beacon Hill was built by black men. My son and I learned so much. Really fantastic!

A must do tour - We had so much fun on this tour. We learned a lot of history about the residents and buildings of Beacon Hill while learning how to take good pictures on our phones. Our tour guide Saba was knowledgeable, fun and friendly. She knows many of the residents of Beacon Hill and has great stories! Do this tour!

Enjoyable - Enjoyed the tour! The pace was just right, allowing me to truly absorb the surroundings without feeling rushed. Saba’s relaxed and pleasant demeanor made the experience feel personal, as if we were exploring the area with a local friend. The tour offered beautiful opportunities for photography, showcasing stunning architecture, vibrant fall foliage, and delightful Halloween decorations. With just one other couple in the group, the intimate setting enhanced the experience, allowing for engaging conversation and a more relaxed atmosphere. Overall, it was a calming and enjoyable way to appreciate the beauty of the season while capturing memorable photos. Highly recommend!

Saba is the best Tour Guide! - My wife and I did the Beacon Hill walking tour and it was amazing. We learned so much from our tour guide Saba. She was very informative and kind. She gave us great tips on how to take photo centric pictures. We will definitely be back to Boston to book more tours with her!

Disappointing - Very little history was discussed. Too much time was spent on looking in people’s windows and finding architectural curiosities. We found out very little about famous people who used to live there.
