This was such a beautiful tour with a wonderful guide who loves her job and is all about helping you understand how to enjoy the tour as much as she does. I loved it and the whole family was very pleased and grateful to have experienced it.

Remarkable photo walk in Boston - combined with the history of Boston

Published on Dec, 2024

When I signed up for this day, I was very excited. It exceeded all of my expectations, and Saba, the photographer who led the experience, amazed me. She was so friendly and was a wealth of information about Beacon Hill. I have lived in Boston and knew very little about this area. The tidbits she would come up with just further piqued my curiosity. I have not done much of my photography on the iPhone. Saba helped me to frame things in a way that had not considered - and, what a difference it made. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, did some great photography and I intend to sign up again. Saba is outstanding!!!

Beacon Hill come to life

Published on Nov, 2024

Excellent tour! We (my teen son and I) walked up and down Beacon Street before the tour and Saba took us back behind to the neighborhoods and told us all about the more regular people. Very interest facts and made it very relatable. Fascinating and she had lots of interior pictures of homes to make it really come alive. Acorn Street was very cool and the diversity of people really amazing. The slave couple who fled north in disguise and also the first home on Beacon Hill was built by black men. My son and I learned so much. Really fantastic!

Wonderful Tour, Wonderful Guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

Saba is a very knowledgeable, personable and experienced guide, who made the tour very enjoyable and worthwhile.

A must do tour

Published on Nov, 2024

We had so much fun on this tour. We learned a lot of history about the residents and buildings of Beacon Hill while learning how to take good pictures on our phones. Our tour guide Saba was knowledgeable, fun and friendly. She knows many of the residents of Beacon Hill and has great stories! Do this tour!
