My husband and I went to the Bell Tower tour's "Romance Package" on Australia Day and had the pleasure of experiencing a truly exceptional tour guided by Howard at the Bell Tower, and we can confidently say it was a five-star experience. Howard's engaging and humorous storytelling made the entire tour not only informative but also incredibly enjoyable. From the moment we started, Howard's passion for the history of the Bell Tower shone through. His anecdotes brought the structure to life, creating a vivid picture of its significance and the events it has witnessed over the years. His ability to blend facts with humor kept everyone captivated, making the tour feel both educational and entertaining. What set Howard apart was his attention to detail and thoughtfulness. After the tour, kindly offered his own 1 dollar coin by treating me to the nostalgic charm of this dollar coin-operated "bell" jukebox. As a special touch and after learning that I was originally from the Phillippines, he played the Philippine national anthem, making the experience not just about the tower but also a celebration of cultural diversity. It was a gesture that personalized the tour and left a lasting impression on everyone. Thanks, Howard! That was truly heartwarming. Howard's warmth and genuine enthusiasm for his role were evident throughout. He went above and beyond to ensure that each visitor felt engaged and connected to the history of the Bell Tower. His dedication to making the tour memorable sets him apart as a remarkable guide, and I highly recommend Howard for anyone looking to have an informative, entertaining, and culturally enriching experience. Five stars don't seem sufficient to express the excellence of Howard's tour – it truly was a highlight of our visit. We hope this gets to Howard and makes his day. 😊 We also super loved our personalised Love Lock and the certifcated we got as "certified bell chimers", so adorable! Kinda felt like we got married again! ❤️🔒🔔

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting The Bell Tower in Perth, and it was an unforgettable experience. This iconic landmark, standing 271 feet tall, offers a unique blend of history and interactive fun.  Upon arrival, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who provided insights into the tower’s rich history. The highlight was participating in the Bell Chiming Experience, where I had the opportunity to ring the historic bells myself. This hands-on activity was both educational and enjoyable, offering a rare glimpse into the art of bell ringing.  Ascending to the observation deck, I was treated to panoramic views of the Swan River and Perth’s cityscape. The vantage point provided excellent photo opportunities and a serene environment to appreciate the city’s beauty.  The Bell Tower houses the historic Swan Bells, including twelve bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London, making it a site of significant cultural heritage. The addition of the ANZAC Bell, the largest of its kind in Australia, adds to the tower’s allure.  Overall, my visit to The Bell Tower was a delightful blend of history, culture, and interactive fun. It’s a must-visit attraction for anyone in Perth, offering a unique experience that caters to all ages. I highly recommend adding it to your itinerary.

The towering glass spire of The Bell Tower located where Perth meets the Swan River in vibrant Barrack Square, is a touchstone for Australian and international tourists. The Bell Tower is one of the largest musical instruments on earth and was custom built to house the historically significant bells of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields Church, the parish church of Buckingham Palace in Trafalgar Square, London. These royal bells date back to before the 14th century! One of Western Australia's most unique and visited attractions, The Bell Tower offers tourists fascinating displays on these famous bells and the ancient art of bell ringing, as well as stunning views of the Swan River from the sixth floor open air observation deck. The Bell Tower is the only place in the world where you can view bell ringing in action or where you can even have a go at bell ringing yourself in one of their interactive Bell Tower Chiming Experience tours. In addition to the royal bells, the Bell Tower is also home to the 6,500kg Anzac Bell. Watch the Bell ring at midday for 1 minute. Located at Barrack Square; just a short five minute stroll from the City of Perth.

Its located in Elizabeth Quay in Barrack Square, across the road from the Supreme Court Gardens. The shape of the building is quite unmistakable. There are two type of entry, normal entry to look around or a tour which includes a session to ring some bells yourself. I went with the bell ringing tour just to see what it was like. The tours are every 30 minutes so not much waiting if you did want to go. The tour involved learning about the history of the clocktower, bells and actually ringing these old bells yourself. Bell ringing is harder than it looks, we just went for a couple of minutes but some of these bell ringers go for hours. The tour also included entry into the bell tower, heading to the top observation deck, to look at the belfry and read about the history of the bells. It was an interesting attraction. The views were nice. It wasn't overly tall so you didn't see past the buildings but it was a nice view nonetheless. There was also an automated bell ringer on the top level which rings for a gold coin.
