I thought our guide Angela,was very interesting and helpful. The experience of ringing the bells was fun, and surprisingly more difficult than expected as the bells got bigger. Would have loved to try and play a simple tune...
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We'll be sure to let Angela know you had a fun time chiming the bells with her.
Done the tour for$20, which included chumming the bells. The tour guide was only new to the job, he done a good job and answered all questions asked of him. Lived here many years and thought to go inside yo do the tour, enjoyed with friends

It was a great experience to learn about the bells and the bell ringers. You will get to ring a bell and then see the bell you are ringing on a tv screen.
