An interesting attraction spoilt by the tour

These rooms are potentially very interesting. But we had a hurried tour of just under 30 minutes, with a guide who spoke very quickly in hard to understand English. Disappointing. The cost (senior rate) was 10 Euros each - which I thought was too much...More

Thank you for your visit and review but I find it very hard toa gre ewith you. Our tours are usually at least 45 minutes. As for the fee which was the discounted one in your case it is not too much at all. If...More

Work in progress but worth a visit

This is still being renovated but there is still enough to see to get a picture of it’s importance. When the museum artefacts are installed, I have no doubt it will be excellent. The tour is free and highly recommended.

A must do in Malta

Very interesting place to visit. I highly recommend, especially to those with a decent, background knowledge of WW2. It is worth joining a tour, which is free. Ours was guided by Steve Church who knew his stuff.

I would like to visit this tour, can anyone explain the location so I don’t get lost please ? I’m familiar with most of the capital, is it close to the Malta experience ?

Start the tour from Upper Barakka and you will be taken to the War Rooms as part of the tour. Upper Barakka is close to Castille, the prime minister's office.

Is the museum free in any of the weekdays? Thanks!

No it is a voluntary organisation but it's very reasonable.

I won’t have much time in Valletta (visiting on 1 March) and I’m very keen to get on one of these tours. Does anyone know at what times of day the guided tours run? Also, how long do they last and is the guided tour included in the admission process or is it extra? Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi, I am unsure of the exact times of the tours, when I went one was due to start so we just tagged on to that. It was about an hour and is all included in the admission price. It really is well worth it :)
