The tour guide was remarkable. So informative and clearly passionate. She kept the children engaged as well as keeping it interesting for the adults!
We had a lovely afternoon tour with Rini who was very knowledgeable about the printing house and got our girls involved in the tour.
Definitely a must do if you head over to Russell
This lovely place is a a fantastic way to look at history, Stunning gArdens, an intriguing history and a passionate guide explaining the life and love of this building and surrounding areas. Would highly recommend.
Being in the off-season, Russell was fairy quiet on the day we visited. The Mission was our highlight. Maggie was our personal tour guide and cheerfully related the amazing story of the establishment of the mission, on-site tannery and printing factory. Great displays of the printing process and production of books, all tied up with the history of the English, French Catholics and local Mauri people. Easy to get to location and many restaurants close by for lunch afterwards.
We were very impressed with the tour guide who filled us in on the mission and history of Russell. Very interesting!
Thank you for your feedback and very pleased you enjoyed your visit.
Well worth spending some time looking around this small French mission, some nice history good and bad.
