Nothing special. Expensive to go up. Not worth it. Looks cool but way over priced. Just look at pictures and save yourself the time.
Alex and Howard are very kind, knowledgeable and helpful, and you can really tell they truly love their job. Highly recommend the bell ringing experience. It's really fun and surprisingly challenging. You'll get a good view of Perth city on the top deck.
I love shooting structures and this is definitely one of the more unusual architectural design that I have come to expect from the city. I am glad I got to be here for the night shot with all the lights up! Next plan is to visit again during the day time to get some contrast shots of the tower against a bright blue sky on a sunny day. Of course, I would love to visit the interior of this modern bell tower as well. The view from the top must be magnificent!
Very beautiful construction, amazing views!
Our guide Howard was just great - made this tour unforgettable with provided information and sence of humor. Many thanks!

We went in time for the 12pm bell ring. Nothing much happened, there are 6level only. Highest level was viewing, 5 level was viewing of the big bell and 4 level was watching the big bell ring and information on the bells. Other than that nothing else exciting there.
I have lived in Perth for 10+ yrs, someone had told me that the tour was not worth the money, I should have never listened.
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.

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! ❤️🔒🔔

A nice place to visit to learn a bit more about history of Perth and the Swan Bells. Quite fascinating to learn how the bell tower works. The tower is not that tall hence do not expect a bird's eye view of Perth when you go up to the top. Still a good place to be added into your itinerary when you visit Perth City. Entrance fees required.
