5.00This experience exceeded our expectations. It was fantastic to see inside the theatre in a small group, and have a chance to go on the stage, but it’s Jeremy that makes the hour entertaining and fun. His potted history of Malta over the centuries, and how it relates to the theatre and Knights of St John was really engaging - it held the attention of my teenage daughter throughout!
The best interactive show ever

5.00It was an incredible experience – no one has ever told the story of the theatre and all of Malta as fascinatingly as Jeremy did. He gave us a whole range of emotions, engaging stories, fitting jokes, and genuine feelings – it's absolutely worth a visit. We also got to see the theatre's secret spots that are usually off-limits to regular visitors – backstage, and even we were allowed to open the stage curtain! Highly recommended
Fun and engaging

5.00Our guide Jeremy was fantastic - not only was this tour a great run down on the history of the theatre, but includes information on the Maltese language, culture, past and present. Would highly recommend it to everyone. The theatre itself is breathtaking and one of the oldest working theatres in Europe. Overall entertaining & enlightening!
