Very much enjoyed Bok Tower Gardens and El Retiro. A beautiful property and hearing the carillon play Christmas songs was ever so peaceful. Had a wonderful day there.

Such a lovely, relaxing place to visit. Beautiful green spaces and views. The music at the carillon is so soothing and The tower is so gorgeous. Plan a picnic and enjoy the soothing vibes. The cafe also has good eats. Staff throughout the grounds are very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Due to a recent mobility issue I have developed, I found it difficult to find enough benches along the paths. Unfortunately, after starting on the path to the tower I saw that there were no benches for me to sit and rest on, I had to turn back and leave. I could not make it to the tower itself

Bok Tower Gardens is beautiful and a great place to visit. We had visited previously but not toured the mansion which was included in this package. We are so glad we did.
Hearing the Singing Tower carillon is amazing and we enjoyed watching via monitor the live concert as we heard the music.

Tour of he El Retiro house and walk through the gardens to the singing tower. Wonderful activity. Quiet, peaceful. Great views from the tower grounds. (You can not go in the tower). Diverse gardens, mostly well marked. Take your time and enjoy.

Remember there is much walking. There are motorized scooters for rent, but they will be good inside the house. The cafe is excellent for lunch!

A very serene place! The tower is amazing and if you are there when the Carillon performance happens, don’t miss it!
