Saba was very informative, and had not only the history to share about the places we went, but had all of the photo tips one could need. Should you need them. She’s done the tours for 22 years and one of her favorite spots to show the groups is a little street which is well photographed. I have the distinct honor of deciding to not photograph that street which, Saba told me, I was the only one in 22 years not to. It was great to learn so much history, and to see so much and so short of time as a first time visitor to Boston. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments, Chris! It was a pleasure to share the history and hidden gems of Boston's iconic landmarks and charming 19th-century neighborhoods with you. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and the backstories along the way. Yes, you made PhotoWalks history by being the first person in 22 years to pass on photographing that special, street! I'm so glad you had a great time as a first-time visitor to Boston. Many thanks for the recommendation. Appreciatively, Saba Alhadi, Owner PhotoWalks

One of the highlights of our 4 day trip to Boston! I learned so much about the history and architecture of the Beacon Hill and Back Bay areas that I couldn't have put together from websites or any self guided tour. Saba is a fountain of knowledge and full of insights and tips on how to compose the best photographs using your smart phone. Years ago, I enjoyed her Freedom Trail tour so much I booked this one too, and she did not disappoint. A gracious host, she followed up with museum and restaurant suggestions. Highly recommend any Photowalks tours!

Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! I'm honored that the Photowalks tour your group took was one of the highlights of your Boston trip. I enjoy sharing fascinating insights and fun facts that you can’t get online or from a self-guided tours. I’m glad to hear you all enjoyed learning about Beacon Hill and Back Bay's history and architecture. It’s great that you found the photography tips helpful as well! I truly appreciate you coming back after the Freedom Trail tour, and I’m so happy I met your expectations again. Your praise and recommendation mean the world to me. Looking forward to seeing you on another PhotoWalks tour soon on your next trip to Boston! With appreciation, Saba Alhadi, Owner PhotoWalks
