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).

Great introduction to the Island if you are not really familiar with it’s history or culture! The hospital tour was well worth adding on, the tour guide we had was excellent and gave a great presentation to our small group about the Hospitaler Knights and their works

An outstanding place to visit for an overview of Malta’s history. The 45 minute film was excellent and available in many languages through headsets. It was informative and very well explained. The guided tour which followed was superb with a fascinating explanation of the history of the beautiful Mediterranean Conference Centre. A great start to any trip to Malta!

20 euro for a 40 minute low budget documentary... save your money and watch a better one on youtube.... Ok to escape the rain.

The cinema screening was 8nvormative and entertaining. You learned a lot about the history of malt and the German audio guide you could choose on the headphones was first class. The technique may not be Up 2 Date but perfectly ok, the rows of seats could be a little further apart. It's a little tight at 182. But now for the best part of it all. The subsequent guided tour of the old hospital. Anna, you were fantastic. I have participated in many tours and many countries but have never had such fun. She was informative and funny and you could tell how much you liked sharing the information. In addition, in the best understandable English I have ever heard, often English or American guides have the problem of not understanding them well because of their local dialects. It was perfect with you. Thank you
