Great learning experience - We enjoyed sitting in the cool on a hot day to watch the film. Interesting history of Malta. After that our guide took us into the theatre space for a further talk, then led us to the hospital (two levels) giving further explanation. The guide was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Visit here early on your holiday to learn about Malta. - A great way to learn about the evolution and history of Malta. Out of everything we did on our holiday we wished that we had visited this first as it gives good insights on where to visit and why during your holiday. Well worth a visit.

The infirmary tour is excellent. - The film show is in many available languages. The best part is the infirmary tour and talk. The lady giving the tour gave the information in a clear informative and thought provoking way. Wonderful.

Excellent and very interesting - We visited the 2 sections of the Malta Experience. The first was an interesting slide show of the many invaders who have claimed and left their mark on the islands during the times pre-dating Christ and until the island finally gained independence from the UK. The second, again very interesting is the La Sacra Infermeria tour, brought to life by an excellent guide.

Wonderful, moving film & hospital tour. Excellent cafe, reasonably priced with superb Illy coffee - We came to Malta for the first time last year 2024, partly to do with my father who was here on HMS Illustrious leading a convoy with supplies to help relieve the starving Maltese people. The ship was bombed (129 dead & 91 wounded) & the Maltese Engineers and Dockers helped repair the ship together with the ship’s crew for 9 days before it could slip out of the harbour for more repairs in Alexandria. This was while the Maltese people were being bombed themselves. We have so much to be grateful to the Maltese people who lost so many lives & their homes too. We saw the film of the history of Malta & did the hospital tour last year. We thought it was so moving that we saw the film again but didn’t do the hospital tour this year. I’m also having trouble walking.

Maltese Experience Video - Good Start for your Tour - Worth it if you go at the beginning of your stay on Malta. A good historical summary of the important periods in Maltese history. However, if you go at the end of your stay, as I did, after your tour guide has explained each of these periods in detail, the Maltese Experience is a bit redundant.

Check what's included. Expensive for what it is - The film was dated but okay although nothing special. Unfortunately the hospital was closed and there was no reduction in the price, so it cost €40 for a 45 minute film with headsets. Not great.

Soporific representation of Malta's history in 2025 very old-fashioned - In an old theatre with too small seats, headphones from 15 years ago, the history of the island is told by means of slide images and some moving images. We both fell asleep partly because of the boring story!
