John Adams and John Quincy Adams Birthplaces Quincy MA
We booked the tour of the John Adams and John Quincy Adams Birthplaces online at Recreation.gov. The homes are run by the National Parks but the website in outsourced. The website is quirky, to say the least. It took me a couple of tries before I figured out how to reserve a slot for the tour. I grabbed the last two spots in the tour group. When I was all done with it, I had to pay by Credit Card the full $1 per person tour fee. haha, a lot of work for a little $... When we arrived at 141 Franklin St Quincy MA for the tour it ended up only being 3 couples, 6 people on the tour. Either they are keeping the tour groups very small or most people that book the $1 tours don't care about losing their $1 fee. In any event, the tour guide was great, very informative and encouraged questions from the group. I would highly recommend taking the tour of the two homes.

There is an opportunity for improvement
We toured the Kennedy Museum in the morning and had a tour time. Have toured several homes of older presidents by purchasing tickets on site or no ticket was required. When we arrived, there was only one ticket left. The Ranger refused to bend the rules and let two of us go. She needs customer service training. The visitors center was not crowded. She did restart the film for us. There were three employees in the center so maybe one should be driving the trolley? Leading another tour? Tour guides could drive their group in the trolley? We walked to the house and while there saw two guides + one in training? They were much more customer oriented! This site is full of our history. Don’t turn people away!
