Nighttime tour
Jan 2020 • Solo
I’m a repeat customer, repeat reviewer. For anyone who wants to see the city through a different eye, and through a lens, these tours with Saba are a must.
Saba brings enthusiasm and knowledge to each customer. She wants you to be happy with your photos and she will guide you until you are. She will make a novice excited about photography, and will help a more experienced photography with special effects, advanced camera settings, and tips on best locations to get a beautiful shot.
I’ve done Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Bubbles, Zakim Bridge, Longfellow Bridge, and the Holiday light tours.
Whether you’re a local, or a tourist, I’d highly recommend any of Saba’s tours. Not only will you learn something about the city and it’s history, you’ll come away with a handful of lovely pics to remember your trip, and a renewed enthusiasm for photography.

Thank you so much for writing such an awesome review, L. We were such hearty souls braving the cold and wind that January evening on the Longfellow Bridge + Esplanade night tour. I'm so happy you learn something new on each PhotoWalks tour you take. Thank you so much for your support over the years. With great appreciation, Saba

Fabulous photo walk
Jul 2021 • Solo
I absolutely loved my walking tour with Saba, she is so knowledgeable and passionate about photography and the city of Boston. She pointed out so many little details that I would have not seen had I been on my own. She had great stories and tips for my photography. Plus helping me see a different perspective and see the city in a different light, all those little details and stories of real people from
Boston making it all the more interesting. She even helped keep me (somewhat) dry when a rain storm came out of no where. Luckily giving us the park all to ourselves. It was such a great tour even with the rain. Highly highly recommend.

Thank you so much for sharing your PhotoWalks experience. I had just as much fun on the tour as you did as we explored and took fun pictures in Beacon Hill, the Public Garden and then Back Bay in the unexpected rainstorm. What an adventure! Looking forward to seeing you again during your next visit to Boston. All the best, Saba

Freedom Trail
May 2021 • Family
My students and I enjoyed a phenomenal Freedom Trail tour with Saba. She was patient, informative and engaging. My third and fifth graders came out of the experience with big smiles, great photos, and a stronger understanding of the role of Bostonians, and Boston itself, in the Revolution. I would recommend this tour and any other that Saba offers.

Very informative tour
Jan 2023 • Couples
Saba was very knowledgeable about the particular areas that we toured within the city. We were lucky enough to get a private tour and hear firsthand accounts of the history of the area. Highly recommend taking the time to do this tour. Saba was awesome! And we got some great pics!

Highlight of our Boston Trip
Oct 2021
Saba's photowalk was a true highlight of our girls' trip to Boston. She took us to must see places as well as hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. She was an incredible guide for our group, imparting tons of Boston history and info as well as photographic skillset. We learned so much during our time with her and have beautiful photos to show for it. She was incredibly easy to work with and even adjusted our start time when we were delayed at breakfast due to staffing shortages. I can't say enough wonderful things about the entire experience.

A tour worth taking
Oct 2022 • Couples
The entire photo walk was worth the time and money. Saba is very knowledgeable in Boston history and on how to take the best photo! I have two favorite experiences. The first being seeing Bates Hall in the Boston Public Library. The hall is beautiful with a 50ft ceiling like none I have ever seen. Saba showed and helped us take photos that highlighted the beauty of the hall all while telling about how the hall came to be. Another favorite experience was walking through Boston Public Park. The fall colors are just beginning to show. Saba showed us the best places and how to take pictures that reflected the trees in the water. We walked through neighborhoods learning about its history and took amazing pictures with Saba's help. Do yourself a favor and book this tour. You will not be sorry.
