I toured the New England Botanical Gardens in Worcester with Keolis massAdventures on April 28th, the booking process easy and the provided information comprehensive. The tour was wonderful, with a knowledgeable guide and ample time to explore the gardens independently. Returning to the station was seamless, making the overall experience positive and convenient. I highly recommend booking a trip through Keolis massAdventures to visit this beautiful place.
