It was worth the price! We had a great experience visiting the museum, St. Catherine’s Monastery, and the Secret Garden in Valletta. The history and beautiful views kept us engaged throughout the visit. There were informative explanations in English as well as several other languages, making it easy to follow along. The staff were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything we needed to know. It wasn't crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and anyone interested in learning more about Valletta's history.

A real gem hidden in Valletta, the church has amazing artwork, visited St Johns Co Cathedral but this I think was just as good and so much quieter.

It was a beautiful church with life like paintings and statues. Malta was the heavily bombed place in world war -2. But this church miraculously survived the bombings with no damage at all.
