6.Boston’s Architecture, History + Photo Walking Tour (SMALL Group)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $55

Review of Boston’s small-group architecture and photo walk, covering Back Bay, Beacon Hill, landmarks, guide Saba, value, and practical tips.

“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.”
