The Malta experience off my bucket list,

5.00One of the best things we did. Being Maltese but growing up overseas you sometimes know some of these stories or history but seeing it explained and portrayed in this way was a moving experience. I must admit I did shed a tear thinking about what my parents went through during WW2.
Fascinating and informative

5.00The experience started with a film about the history of Malta. The film is really interesting and we really felt like we got to know and understand Malta a bit more. There are headsets for each chair with multiple language options-the English version is narrated by Derek Jacobi. After the film We had a tour of the old knights hospital building. The guide was so knowledgeable and if anything what we learned on the tour was even more interesting than the film. We thoroughly recommend a visit to this experience.
Highly Recommend a Visit Before you tour anywhere

5.00We thoroughly njoyed our visit, The Malta Experience, the 45m video/movie was very interesting and informative. We learnt a lot about the history of Malta. Then the guided tour of the infirmary, we saw the old hospital wards, again was very interesting, the lady guide was very good. We njoyed our visit, it let us njoy the other tours of the island that we had with the background information from here. Highly recommend a visit. :) :)

5.00Very interesting the video is very worth watching at the beginning of the tour of Malta, it helps a lot to understand the history of the place. And the advantage is that you can listen to it in multiple languages. It helped us a lot to hear it in Spanish
Informative and a great insight into Maltas history
