Great experience from a local - The tour with Saba was informative and fun - I took my dad who loves Italian culture and the North End. He is a local and learned historical facts he’s excited to share. Thank you so much!

No End to North End Charm - Even better than I expected (and I was looking forward to this for months)! Saba's passion and kind demeanor paired with her knowledge of the area, its history, and photography makes her an incredible teacher.
She pulled up images of different buildings to show how they changed over the decades and talked about the drama and the humor of both (in)famous characters and the passersby who people the neighborhood. Her tips, techniques and ideas for capturing unique photos made me feel more confident in seeing good composition and creating interest in each picture. Saba is also kind enough to take pictures of you (and your group).
Perfect weather, good conversation, low foot traffic (Thursday 10:00am session)
Will be back to take the others the next time I'm in town!

Great Time in the North End - Saba is just great. Her tidbits of information and knowledge of the area was only surpassed by the tips she gave about taking pictures with our phones. Would be happy to go on a tour with her anytime!!!

Fantastic Guide who also Takes Your Pictures!! - Saba exceeded our expectations by far. Her “inside knowledge” avoided tourist traps and crowds. Details on landscaping/architecture/history were fascinating. Add to that - she’s a photographer! Pics all included. We will request her again!

An amazing experience! - Learning how Boston's Little Italy came to be was fascinating, but the high points of the tour were the backstory to each point we saw on the Freedom Trail.
