History relaxing, simple and effective version - The tour begins with a 2D and 3D projection. Each with his helmet and language (more than 10 groins). Photos are forbidden, which is normal.
Even those who are not passionate about history can take a taste: nothing rebarbative, well synthesized... You get out of there without a headache!
The visit continues with the Sacra Infermeria (the sacred infirmary).
You need to understand a little bit of English or use translation software that can be downloaded on the phone.
Some people with basic English could understand: the guide spoke very good English, simple, distinctly. A real pleasure for some who didn't seem reassured at first.
You even discover the origin of some common words (salary, quarantine...).
Really interesting. No room for boredom...

Hidden gem - I was in malta for 4 days at a music festival and thought I would visit Valetta for a few hours and thought I would give this ago. So glad I did. I learnt so much from the video about Malta. I had no idea the temples were so oldviof the back of the video I made time to visit mdina, rabat and the archaeology museum in Valetta. Anna our guide around the hospital was so knowledgeable. She made the tour enjoyable. Thank you

Amazing experience - The experience was amazing, not only that there was a variety of languages you could choose. I was mostly surprised that they had Hungarian. That also explained every single detail perfectly, so in my opinion you should visit.

An hour we’ll spent! - Along with a walk around St.Elmo’s Fort, the audio - visual presentation was a really enjoyable experience, and at a special price for seniors!

Information-packed show, but brilliant and entertaining guided tour - The audio-visual show did a reasonable job of conveying Malta's long and turbulent history. I found it very engaging and enlightening, though some of the sections went a bit fast. The animations/multi-media clips were also not used to the maximum effect. They seemed to be merely a backdrop over which the narrator would speak rather than actively being used to tell the story.
The guided tour of La Sacra Infermeria was excellent. I enjoyed that much more than the show. The lady guide spoke with such authority, theatricality and humour that she really made the history come alive for me. It was not a dry informational presentation, but filled with little anecdotes about life at the time of the infirmary and how you can see the impact of historical events on contemporary Malta.

Great audio show in the cinema hall unfortunately in need of repair, guided tour of the hospital rooms is very good - The film is amazingly good and really entertaining. Together with the dedicated and professional tour of the hospital and theatre, it was worth it.
But: The cinema itself is really scrappy. The armchairs are heavily worn, sometimes even locked due to wear. Many of the headphones are broken. But if you have a working headphone and you sit, the sound and image are quite good.

Irritating experience - We purchased the audio visual experience and hospital tour through TA on Thursday for Friday morning. On Friday morning we arrived for the scheduled time to be informed in a surly manner that the hospital tour wasn’t happening and that I shouldn’t have been sold it in the first place. I was instructed to return on Saturday morning. On arrival on Saturday morning there were no staff present and I was told by a staff member in the hospital itself that there no tours scheduled at all. So I was effectively scammed out of half the ticket price. The audio visual experience was decent enough despite dated headphones and the toilets being out of service. On using the toilets upstairs I was barked at by an employee that ‘all the tables were reserved’ - on informing them that I wasn’t planning to sit down / eat the employee grunted at me and carried on working. Not a positive first impression of the service culture in Malta.

The building is worth it - It's not worth it, the documentary doesn't contribute anything and seems to be more than 10 years old with some historical mistakes
We saw it with students who looked like high school when they turned on the light 90% were asleep 😂😂
The infirmary visit is all in English so you get it right.
20€ per person for what they offer is very expensive
