Poor to average at best

2.00The setting is lovely and the downstairs cafe serves a delicious soup, but the attraction itself fell short. Despite an 11:00 am start time, we were left waiting in the screening room until 11:20 am, which delayed our next booking. While the historical information is solid, the delivery felt drawn out and the visual quality was surprisingly poor—blurry enough at times that it became unintentionally funny. A poor-to-average experience at best; the staff could also benefit from a more welcoming attitude.
Well worth doing. It...

5.00Well worth doing. It gives you a good history of Mdina. Air conditioned inside and comfortable seating. We also stayed and had lunch at the location which was very good. Just needed some more fans outside.
Terrible experience.

1.00DO NOT BOOK!!!! We arrived to find our tour cancelled, with no attempt to communicate (the vendor lied, I checked carefully. They ruined a day of our short vacation and spent money on taxis. Vendor is completely unreliable. Viator too, we booked with Viator points we accumulated and they were not refunded. Terrible experience, do not risk it!

4.00These films (also in Valletta) are well made and offer a brief summary of the eventful history. The headphones with the language selection mostly work, not overpriced. Highly recommended.
Mandatory programme

4.00In this cinema the history of Malta was explained very well. 17 translation programs. Unfortunately, the cord of the headphones is very short and the seats also have very little legroom. Only drawback. The visit should be part of the compulsory programme if you want to learn about Malta
An amazing experience

5.00It was an amazing experience unlike ant other! Good job everyone!!! We visited the medieval tavern that is part of this as well and it was like we were transported in another time! In addition the food there was great and the waiters/staff were the most polite people I've ever met! The place was magical but the waiters/staff was the highlight of the tavern.
