Malta Themed Tours Wins Prestigious Global Tourism Excellence (GTE) Award for 2025

We’ve got news… very good news  and we’re still grinning like corsairs who’ve just spotted a fat merchant ship on the horizon.

Malta Themed Tours has officially been recognised with a 2025 Global Tourism Excellence (GTE) Award, marking our second international tourism award this year… and our first ever GTE win.

For a small, independent, one-corsair operation, this is huge. Emotional. Slightly unbelievable. And yes… we celebrated appropriately. 

What Are the Global Tourism Excellence (GTE) Awards?

Global Tourism Excellence Awards are not handed out by committees in suits or industry politics behind closed doors.

They are awarded entirely based on verified guest reviews, consistent visitor satisfaction, and genuine love from travellers across the globe.

In short:
👉 The voice of the traveller decides.
👉 No politics. No shortcuts. Just real experiences, honestly reviewed.

And that makes this recognition even more meaningful.

A Big Win After a Bold Rebrand

 

2025 marked our very first full year after rebranding and officially reopening Malta Themed Tours.

We could have played it safe. We could have offered “normal” tours. Instead… we chose:

  • Immersive storytelling
  • Theatrical, character-driven guiding
  • Dark, fascinating history
  • Experiences that feel alive, unpredictable, and deeply human

It was a gamble. A beautiful, slightly dangerous one. And somehow, wonderfully, it paid off.

This GTE Award recognises:

  • Exceptionally high guest satisfaction
  • Consistently strong international reviews
  • Our refusal to follow the mainstream tourism conveyor belt

A Double Celebration: Top 10% Worldwide on TripAdvisor

As if that wasn’t enough excitement, 2025 also brought us another milestone…

TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2025

That officially places Malta Themed Tours in the top 10% of experiences worldwide.

Not bad for a band of history-loving misfits stirring up trouble again after just one year.

Why This Matters to Future Guests

 

If you’re considering booking with Malta Themed Tours, these awards mean one thing above all else:

👉 Travellers like you loved their experience — and took the time to say so.

You can expect:

  • High-quality, in-depth, authentic storytelling
  • Tours that go beyond dates and facts
  • A warm Maltese welcome
  • Experiences that stay with you long after the walk ends

From the Bottom of My (Corsair) Heart …Thank You as there is no “I” in team.

 

This award belongs just as much to:

  • Every guest who trusted us
  • Every reviewer who shared their experience
  • Everyone who recommended us to friends
  • And every supporter who believed in the madness

To everyone who supported us, reviewed us, believed in us, and encouraged us to keep digging deeper into Malta’s deliciously dark and fascinating past… this award is yours too.

I promise to work harder than ever to deliver:
• World-class themed tours
• Unforgettable moments
• And experiences worthy of the trust you place in us
