The tour is rewarding, informative, and offers great photo opportunities with beautiful views. If you’re in Perth and have an hour to spare, this is highly recommended. A top‑class experience from start to finish.
The view from the top was breath taking. Howard was aware that while we were visiting Australia that we were getting married 2 days later and he kindly paid for the bells on the top to play the wedding march, such a sweet gesture from him, making our visit even more memorable, thank you Howard!!
Viewing the bells and exploring which metals they are made from and how they ring.
Being able to ring the bells was a great experience too.
Staff were so friendly and our whole family enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended.
Friendly,welcoming,knowledgeable,helpful staff.
Come and try the bell ringing.
The biggest bell in Australia is on the premises.
Listen to the Anzac bell ringing at noon everyday.
Excellent views from the upper floors.
Some excellent little nicnacs on sale.
A must visit place.
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 Josephine, that gave us invaluable recommendations for vendors, giving us specific points of contact rather than just company names. Most of the vendors we ended up hiring, had worked with Josephine directly and we benefited greatly from their pre existing relationship, as this ensured faster communication, and knowledgeable vendors that knew how to work within the tower and its architecture.
Not only Josephine was on top of everything, bringing up details we oversaw, suggesting alternatives and solutions to any issue we could try and foresee; she was also very proactive and efficient in sending notes with everything that had been discussed and decided during our meetings. She was always responsive to our queries and also added a personal touch to our day, by crocheting 3 small bees for our ring cushion, in line with our wedding theme. Throughout our experience in dealing with Josephine, I have always felt as if we were friends, and she genuinely cared for my wedding day.
When Josephine had to go on annual leave, she organised a meeting with us and Georgie, also a wedding planner at the bell tower, that took over our wedding.
Georgie was perfect.
She helped me a lot during some crucial stressful situations, for instance, she independently liaised with one of my vendors, finding a solution to an issue that they had caused and could have costed me additional fees, or even worst, having to find another vendor.
I was a little stressed when Josephine told me she wouldn't be present on our day, but that stress was completely unfounded.
Georgie had everything under control and communicated with vendors on my behalf to optimise everything, directed my wedding party during rehearsal and even helped me prepare my centerpieces a few days before the wedding. Dealing with her was amazing, and i will never be able to repay her for the kindness, understanding and reassurance she offered me at a such delicate and important time.
The wedding day went off without a hitch.
I have absolutely no complaints to make, not about Georgie, not about the bell tower staff. Everyone was kind and professional and I really feel like our wedding exceeded any expectations I had.
Thank you immensely, for being part of our story and for being so amazing at your jobs.
With love,
Bree
I would definitely recommend this experience to others. They’re very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.
Thank you for the great experience!
Thanks to Ilona our expert guide for a great start to our day in Perth.
Home to historic bells, fabulous views and a great spot for a maternity shoot, even on a rainy day!
Beautiful pics by Andrew Robertson of Gascoyne Media, with Perth pattern facts from Hidden de Tours.
Would only reccomend if you were really into bells tbh
Completed in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium, the tower incorporates a remarkable set of 18 bells – including 12 from the historic St Martin-in-the-Fields Church in London, some of which date back over 600 years. Even without stepping indoors, the sense of heritage is evident.
Architecturally, it’s a stunning fusion of modern materials: glass, steel and copper form an eye-catching spire that evokes both nautical imagery and contemporary design. It stands out beautifully against the skyline, particularly at sunset when the light plays off its metallic surfaces.
The surrounding area is pleasant to explore, with Elizabeth Quay and landscaped paths providing a peaceful setting and excellent views across the water.
Even without a tour, the Bell Tower offers a striking visual experience – a perfect blend of old-world significance and modern creativity.
There were plenty of bell exhibits to see and we marvelled at the turret clock which chimed every 15 minutes and by the hour. Seeing the turret clockwork is a wonderful alternative for my young child who is not old enough to see the Big Ben in its clock room. The gold coins from the bell tower visit can be engraved with name and date for free at the Perth Mint.
Other than the overall pleasant visit, I have to commend the admin and customer service at the tower who responded quickly to my email on enquiry about tour packages and lost items. The personnel had kept safely the bell tower fridge magnets I had left behind and offered to post them to Malaysia for a token fee. That made my day completely.
Hope to be back again for another visit in the future, to see the bell ringers in action.
The bell ringing tour is definitely worth the extra few dollars.
There's lots to learn bout bell ringing, it seems there's a lot more skill involved than simply pulling a rope. The mechanics behind moving the bell, running the bell, installing a new one etc are quite interesting.
I found the Gold and Bells package which included a tour at another 'not yet visited' place of interest of mine, the Perth mint.
Tour starts at 11, wish I knew I could of had access prior because I definitely needed more time to get around the levels.
I really enjoyed the interactive part of the tour and just for that experience alone, money well spent. Staff are absolutely lovely. Finished up hanging with the Anzac bell and had to get to the Perth mint for a 12.30 tour.
I recommend this place ????%
