I felt this was a good way to see the hisotry of Malta and learn something abut the history of the Knights of St. John and just how ancient Malta is. Located in Valletta, which holds it's own historical roots to Malta's past.... Included with our ticket was a tour of the Hospital built by the Knights of St. John,... More

Felt the content of the show was slightly biased and historically debatable. Facility was good but reception staff were a little pushy for my liking. good insight into Maltese history for beginners I suppose. More

The 45 minute "film" was just a series of pictures of Malta with commentary. It was an expensive picture book and if you have a good guide book, it will tell you everything you need to know about Malta. The ticket person will get you to also see the Knights Hospitallers at the same time, which then cost us 14... More

Gives in half an hour with beautiful images a clear and concise overview of the history of Malta - the video equivalent of the introductory paragraphs of the better travelguide. If the organisation reads this review, two of our kids commented on the text saying that 'maltese people are unique' as scary racial superiority thinking and also on the myopia,... More

The malta experience is a film about Malta and it's history. I did nearly say "just" a film, but it is an interesting account of Malta's history from earliest known times, and an interesting history it is. However, anyone interested enough in spending 10 euro each might well have done some research before going (eg picked up a Lonely Planet)... More
