More than Your Average Walking Tour
Learn the History of Boston While Becoming a Better
Photographer
As
Boston’s first and only photo tour company, PhotoWalks captures a creative new
angle on historic walking tours of the city. Each tour is presented with
historical commentary and simple photographic secrets for composing artistic
pictures of Boston’s past and present. The PhotoWalks concept has been very
successful with people of all ages, and all skill levels in part because its
tours allow visitors to see the city from a different angle.
PhotoWalks
offers four different tours with photo opportunities at Beacon Hill, the Public
Garden, along the Freedom Trail and the Waterfront. Each tour is a fun and
unique way to see Boston’s sites and attractions from a unique perspective--with
or without a camera. PhotoWalks tours have inspired locals, tourists, families,
and non-photographers alike to explore their photographic abilities creatively
and observe details in our surroundings closely. They also gain knowledge on
creative photography techniques and Boston’s history at the same time.
Saba, your guide, once worked as a travel
agent. Choosing a career that satisfied her passionate interests in photography
and travel, for eight years she had a fabulous time traveling around the world
and taking pictures. She then decided to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming
an entrepreneur. As a photographer with an eye for details, Saba has over ten
years of experience photographing exotic travel destinations, weddings, children
and portraits.
One day
while walking through the Boston Common and photographing the city scenes around
her, inspiration struck! “What if I mix photography and tours of Boston
together?” What sounded like a good idea eventually became a business. Since
then, PhotoWalks has received extensive
media coverage as Boston's first and only Photo Tour Company and is a proud
member of the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Each tour costs $25 for adults and $12 for
youth 10-17. All walking tours include one copy of PhotoWalks Guide to Creative
Photography. Group rates are available for 10 or more people participating on a
tour together.
