  Really interesting and very friendly guides. Worthwhile trip to the glorious days of the United States.

  Beautiful place to visit. Lots of history learned. The guides are well informed and it's totally worth the 20$ or under the trip costs. There are no bathrooms or water fountains on the tour but there's a bathroom where you buy the tickets and a water fountain. Highly recommend it.

  As part of the National Park system, this is an excellent opportunity to learn about American history. Terrific tour and get knowledgeable park rangers. Plan on 3 hours and don't miss it!

  We were visiting from California. I had just finished John Adams' biography by David McCullough so this was a natural stop for us. Before I elaborate, some pointers:
  **Parking in the garage is free (via validation) to National Park visitors.
  **Visiting the homes requires taking a tour. Reservations are made at the visitor's center.
  **The tour takes about 2.5 hours.
  
  We had a great time taking the tour. It includes Peacefield and the homes where John Adams and John Quincy Adams were born. As the newer and larger home, Peacefield was the highlight. Many of the furnishings are in place as are portraits of the Adams family. The home was given to the National Park Service by the Adams family. However, the family reserves the right of full control over its use. I am told that they even close the home occasionally for Adams family gatherings.
  
  Don't miss the stone house where Adams collection of books is housed. In addition to being a sight to behold, it is very cool inside during the summer months.

  Outstanding historical tour. Recommended to any & all U.S. history buffs, as well as to anyone who desires more background on our Founding Fathers (and their noteworthy wives!).
  
  At least one of our guides—a uniformed U.S. National Parks Ranger—held a PhD in history, specifically on John Adams, so he was extremely knowledgeable. Every last ranger we interacted with was the consummate professional.
  
  What a thrill (and privilege) it was to walk thru the four buildings on the tour—three Adams family homes plus their freestanding family library—in the footsteps and most intimate spaces of two of our earliest presidents and their families. Educational too: inspired me to start watching the HBO miniseries “John Adams” for even more learning.
