Had there been a way to give a 100 star rating, I would! :) Amazing tour and amazing Saba! Thanks a lot.

Would recommend to any fan of history and photography. Our guide Saba was very friendly and informative. The walk is not too long or difficult. Perfect way to learn about Boston's Revolutionary history and get some great photos.

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 (...). We were pleased at how willing Saba was to take pictures of us throughout the walking tour, and we now have many memorable photos!

We had an amazing tour of Beacon Hill and Boston Public Garden with Saba. She helped us get some great photos in the area with our iPhones and camera. Saba has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the area and its residents. This was one of our favorite activities during our stay in Boston.

Saba Alhadl, founder of PhotoWalks, is not only a superb visual artist and an excellent tour guide; her enthusiasm for Boston locations is irresistible, and so is her passion for helping guests find imaginative photo opportunities. I enjoyed our Beacon Hill tour so much that I signed up for a second walk with Saba during the same short trip, and it was equally delightful. (...) I recommend without reservation that anyone interested in Boston.

I sure enjoyed my time with Saba! She loves her city and loves to teach. I learned some awesome techniques of photography and saw some incredible sights while learning historical details. I have lovely shots from our time together and I would recommend this highly to anyone, beginner, advanced, or on the fence. Thank you, Saba!

Having done similar photo walks before in other cities we were very pleased to book Saba! The tour was both informative and photogenic and Saba knows the local history and her photography with equal high standards. We had the pleasure of improving knowledge of Boston and architectural photography. In our case Saba was most accommodating to changing plans. This flexibility was hugely appreciated!

This is the third PhotoWalks tour I've done. All were great. Saba will tweak the tour based on the interests of all the participants. Lots of interesting historical information and great ideas for photos. A way to see Boston. Cannot recommend enough.

This guided tour is perfect if you love taking pictures (with cell phone or camera)! Saba gives a history lesson while showing you great angles for your shots. Saba also went above and beyond by sending us additional information to other areas we would be traveling to. Thanks Saba!

We had an amazing time on the Photowalks Tour! Saba provided great photo tips, excellent stories, and a wealth of knowledge about the sites we visited. There were a few icing on the cake surprises, including photos of secret hideouts of the Underground Railroad. We hope to return to Boston and take another one of Saba's tours!

I did my first photo tour with Saba 7 years ago with my aunt. We had such a good time and took so many beautiful photos, that we decided to do the tour again last weekend again. Saba helps you to see unique ways of looking at things through the lens. (...) She also creates a personalized experience, forming relationships with all in the group. We even made some pals on our tour and I am in love with how my photos came out.
