Summary:
What a fantastic experience - highly recommended. Right from the start we had a lovely welcome and tour. Obviously the highlight was being able to ring the bells some of which were from St Martin’s in the Field church in London - which we have seen and visited.
Thanks to Ilona our expert guide for a great start to our day in Perth.

Summary:
Fantastic experience. Tony was a great guide, really informative. All the staff were really friendly. Bathroom was clean. Having the opportunity to ring the bells was amazing. We were there on a Thursday and hearing the bell ringers and watching the bells moving was awesome. Watching the ANZAC bell ring was really cool too. The outdoor observation deck was a real bonus. Highly recommend this activity. We had such a wonderful time.
