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

Amazing walking tour! - Fabulous walking tour experience with Saba in Boston. I learnt so much about the history with fantastic photo tips. So pleased I chose this small group tour rather than a larger group. I could not have asked for a better experience!

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!

Fabulous Freedom Trail - We really enjoyed our Freedom Trail History and Photo Walking tour. Saba's enthusiasm for photography was contagious, and she offered many creative ways to capture terrific pictures of our time in Boston. Saba was extremely knowledgeable about the city's rich history and architecture and we appreciated the historical photos she shared to show how much the area had changed over the years. We were pleased at how willing Saba was to take pictures of us throughout the walking tour, and we now have many memorable photos of our trip to Boston!

Fun Sunday morning touring portions of Freedom Trail - Saba was both knowledgeable on the history of Boston as well as helpful on the camera angles to get great shots of historical sites as well as pictures of my daughter and I. My daughter is currently taking US History in high school and she still learned quite a bit from Saba on the early days of our country's history. We'll definitely be back for another one of Saba's tours.

Know your angles, know your lighting! - There was an exploration of thought into the angles of each photo opportunity which added to the experience tenfold. Being taught photo editing skills via phone app was crucially positive as well.
