Add it to your bucket list!
This was very interesting and fun. Our ticket lasted all day with a planned tour. The observation deck is amazing. Definitely worth the visit. The professional ringers are there on Thursday so that would have been great to see
Operator response
Thank you so much Stacey for this lovely review. Thursday is definitely a great day to visit, since our ringers are present.

Family bell chiming experience
We all thoroughly enjoyed our bell chiming experience. Our guide Tony was very knowledgeable and his talk about the different bells and the bell tower itself was very interesting and informative. We all enjoyed ringing the bells and our walk around the bell tower itself. Tony was very helpful with my visually impaired husband, helping to guide him to where he needed to stand to ring the bell and looking after his cane. We would definitely recommend this experience to others. Thank you.

The tour of the tower was great. Ringing the bells was a great experience. Very easy to book online directly. The view from the observation deck is stunning. It is wonderful to see the Anzac bell chime at midday. We highly recommend this tour.

Enlightening bells
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...
