Review of Malta’s 45-minute history show and La Sacra Infermeria tour, with practical advice on value, timing, language, and access.
“A very interesting and enjoyable walking tour that helped with orientation around Valetta and learning about the history of this remarkable city. I’d recommend you do this tour on your first day in the area if you can as it also gives you plenty of places to revisit at your leisure. For example, learning about The Knights of St John (Hospitaliers were an elite military force involved in The Crusades, similar to The Knights Templar) will help you to understand much more about the building of Valetta and impressive Cathedral of St John the Baptist. Your experience and knowledge of Valetta will be enhanced. if you go on this tour…”

Review of Malta 5D in Valletta, a 20-minute motion-seat film on Malta’s history with 17-language audio, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Interesting and visually ambitious film in 3d with added moving seats and surround sound. A quick gloss over some of Malta's history and geography. A little light on history but very visually accessible and something fun. We bought tickets in advance of our stay but you can't choose the time - you have to go and hope your show in your language is on, and that spaces haven't been taken with tour groups. You get used of 3d glasses and there is a loo and a vending machine. I'd suggest this would be handy for teenagers or older kids.”
