Highly recommended, it’s very interesting and I have never try bell chiming. Tour guide Jeff explaining interesting history of the Bell and the tower. The bell turning at level 5 attendant lady is very friendly and explain the history of the area, and the music is amazing i love the music bell makes.

Since day one our experience with the Bell Tower has been dreamy. The tower does not need any publicity, the view is stunning, the location is breathtaking, and the historical significance of it as a Perth Landmark speak for themselves. What needs a huge and well deserved shout out is the two lovely wedding planners who are in charge of everything weddings at the venue. We first met with Joseph...
Barry Moore
Awesome place to visit. 6 levels and lots to look at. Great views. We rode lift to top and walked down as it's easier on our legs. Fit people can walk up doing one level at a time. Lots to read and look at. It's all about time and bells.
Glenn Murray
Wow. This was great. Even 'played' on one of their bells, as part of their demonstration for us in 6s. What beautiful gifts these bells are to Perth & WA. The fantastic Gallopli Century Bell sitting in the middle floor and its daily reminder at Noon. Do not miss this on a day the Bell Ringers are practising.
