Absolutely fantastic! A must visit at the start of your visit to this Island! Anna the guide had the most mesmerising voice so knowledgeable I could have listened to her all day! The film was brilliant and the Infirmary was so interesting it even still smells like a working hospital! A must see

An excellent film and presentation. Well worth the cost. Anna, the guide for the infirmary tour, was superb. In total a well spent 2 hours.

Very 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

Really interesting. The film is about 45mins long which was a good break from all the walking. The hospital tour was interesting with a knowledgeable guide. Really good introduction to Malta

Definitely worth it Audio visual show gave a great introduction to Malta and its heritage. Once we done this, didn't feel the need to do anything similar. Ticked a few boxes for what we were looking after.

We enjoyed this video about Malta. Its a good introduction to the history of the area. After the film you pop into the theatre for mire info before heading into the hospital ward for some info from the tour guide on that.

This was already on our 'Go to' list but several people had encouraged us to visit. I am so glad we did. The film presentation of the history of Malta was really well done and informative (there were a choice of languages for the headphones). We also enjoyed the visit around La Sacre Infermeira, which was part of the ticket (and actually the reason I particularly wanted to go).
