Good tour with useful photo tips - Good way to see the Beacon Hill area and receive some good photo tips as well. Saba shows you the best way to use your phone or camera and will give you as much instruction as you'd like. Very pleasant and communicative. She also took some great photos of our group using our phones.

Seeing Beacon Hill through an artist's eye. - Saba is a great storyteller and she sees the sites of the tour through the eyes of an artist. We loved being reminded of stories we've known and hearing new ones. Beacon Hill is one of the oldest sections and an absolutely beautiful part of Boston. Such a wonderful tour. Thank you.

Great Photo Walk - Saba was a great photo guide. Im a life long local and experienced photographer, she brought us to places I hadn’t photographed before. Her historical background commentary was a great addition. The pace was perfect with plenty of time to shoot. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun photo walk with a history narrative. If you’re coming to Boston and want to get some great pictures of Beacon Hill this is a great value.

Great tour! Highly recommend for history, fun and photos. - This was such an amazing tour. Saba, the guide, has been taking people around Boston for more than 20 years. She was so entertaining and informative. She took us all around historic Beacon Hill and the Boston Common and Public Garden. Not only did she know the history of all the beautiful homes and streets in the neighborhood, but she knew the owners and even had photos of the interiors of some of the buildings. Saba also points out unique photos to take and gives you tips on how to take them. Thank you Saba for such a memorable day!

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!

Good. Better on a cooler day. - Saba was knowledgeable, easy to understand and had great tips on photography and well as great stories about the homes, land, buildings and people. She's an expert with i-phone and I have an android. I wasn't able to use any iPhone tips but her composition tips were excellent. Unfortunately it was a super hot day - 90 degrees with 90% humidity. And very little breeze or shade. And beacon hill is concrete and brick. My friend and I only last an hour of our tour then headed home.
