We’re in the Top 10% – and Feeling Frisky About It!
Big news from the tiny island that packs a mighty punch: Malta Themed Tours has officially captured its first international award — the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2025. That’s right, since a break during the pandemic and rebranding – in just one year of guiding guests through the scandalous, dark, and daring corners of history, we’ve climbed into the top 10% of TripAdvisor experiences worldwide as one of the best tour guides in Malta
We’re over the moon! (And had to pause and let that sink in) Top ten percent. Out of millions of experiences around the globe, from wine tasting in Tuscany to camel trekking in Morocco , our little Maltese mischief-making operation is rubbing shoulders with the very best tour guides in Malta among the top world-wide. Not bad for a company that started with one rogue idea: What if history tours were less yawnnnn and more… “Oh my god, did they really do that?”
Why This Win Feels So Juicy
This isn’t just a shiny badge for our website. It’s recognition that guests don’t just want cookie-cutter generic mass tourism tours. Our lovely guests crave authentic Maltese experiences that surprise, delight, and sometimes make them spit out their coffee with laughter 😉
For us, the award confirms what we’ve believed since day one: history is best served with a wink, a smirk, and maybe a side of scandal. Facts and Fun both intertwined. It means that when travellers search for Malta tours that are high-quality, personal, and unforgettable, they’re finding us and our authentic experiences… and loving every minute with one of the best tour guides in Malta
And to be honest… being in the top 10% worldwide is Malta’s equivalent of striking historical gold. We might not have discovered a lost treasure chest, but earning the trust and love of our guests feels even more valuable 🙂 xxx
Giacomo Muscat’s Thoughts: “Turns Out I’m Not as Mad After All”
For Founder Giacomo Muscat this award can at a very special moment and his own words:
“Turns out I’m not as mad as everyone thought for swapping finance for tourism… at least, not entirely. Looks like my birthday came early this Awesome August! Huge thanks to all my dear friends (and brave souls) who joined my guided story experiences and made this international milestone possible. The effort of keeping you alive through it all… absolutely worth it. 😉 XXX “
This personal note sums up the heart of Malta Themed Tours. Behind the cheeky stories and historical scandals lies a leap of faith, one that had Giacomo trading the more lucrative spreadsheets and boardrooms for his life passion History and guiding in cobbled streets and bringing to life Maltese corsair secrets. And judging by this award, it was the right call!
