My wife and I visited the United First Parish Church after brunch on the Memorial Day. The guided tours are given by volunteers upon request. There is no need to follow a schedule or make a reservation in advance. Our tour guide Tom was super knowledgeable about American history and gave us a very thorough overview of the history of this church and the magnificent lives of John Adams and John Quincy Adams. We enjoyed this tour very much and would strongly recommend it to anyone visiting the City of Quincy. There is no admission required. The suggested donations are $5 for adults and $3 for students and seniors.

Amazing experiences! Never been so close to history. Great tour given by a volunteer. A Must-go if you ever visit Boston!

Showing the church to Texas cousins gave me a history refresher course. The tour was informative and well worth the time. Having two US Presidents -John and John Quincy Adams in one spot is a pretty special credit to Quincy.

My tween daughter and I visited here on July 7 while also visiting the Adams National Historical Park across the street. 1. To begin with - the crypt is downstairs. First there is a presentation in the church which describes (in my humble opinion) in a bit too much detail every last bit of information of how the church was constructed. 2. After that you walk down the stairs into the crypt and see a very beautiful Adams burial site for President John and First Lady Abigail and President John Quincy and First Lady Louisa. 3. There are three American flags. a. As requested by himself, the one over John's coffin is the one from his time period b. As requested by himself, the one over John's Quincy's coffin is the one from his time period c. Right outside - at the gate going into the crypt - there is a modern American flag. 4. I asked the guide if there was ever a time when the flags were not displayed (as noted in several reviews found here) and she said, "Certainly not - this is a Presidential burial ground. We always display the flag proudly and also have the two earlier American flags over the coffins." The tour took about 20 minutes; I recommend the stop.
