Greetings! I am Nigel, a native of Malta. I have been involved in the tourism industry for over 10 years where I have worked in the VIP transportation and logistics sector. Throughout the years, I've held roles both as an executive driver and also managerial positions. My interest in tour guiding came to light during the numerous tours I have participated in as a driver over the years. During those times, I always enjoyed giving clients the best service and information regarding the Maltese Islands. Nothing made me happier than hearing how much they enjoyed their time in Malta. Having worked with many tour guides, I fell in love with Maltese history and the prospect of sharing it with as many people as possible. So much so that I decided to actually acquire the guiding licence to participate not just from the driving aspect, but guide travellers all the way. From my experience in the VIP sector, I assure travellers will get treated as such and I will assist you in any of your needs. I am well versed in Maltese history, especially in that of the World War 2 era. From a general tour of the country, or a peaceful hike in the countryside, to a run-around in a vehicle to get the most out of a short stay. All of my tours can be customized to your liking. Being a native of Malta, I can show you lesser-known areas and beautiful vistas off the beaten path. If not guiding I focus on my hobbies which include: working out, hiking, studying, travelling, gaming, and more. -Higher National Diploma in Tour Guiding -Tourist Guide Licence #1055 -10 years of VIP logistics handling and touring. - First Aid Certification -Real Estate Professional Award None

Then this half-day tour will provide you with an insightful taste of Malta and its surrounding islands. I will guide you around the hot spots and places of interest around Malta. We will, of course, stop at certain sites and along the way, I will be running an entertaining commentary on the numerous landmarks that we will encounter and any questions that you might have.

Nigel was very obliging. Met me at 7am and gave me a whirlwind tour of the island. Amazing scenery and was lucky to catch a pigeon herder launching his pigeons at one of the little monasteries. Very well read and helped explain about the warrior monks and their connection with Malta. Had a great time and got me to the airport on time to boot.

Nigel is a most knowledgeable guide. We appreciated your preparation and organisation along with your willingness to adopt the agenda to suit our needs. Malta is quite a unique country with a remarkable history , geography and culture. Nigel was able to blend his knowledge and passion for Malta as he guided us around the island. We also appreciated Nigel's welcoming manner and friendship and will long remember our afternoon in Malta. Thank you Nigel Lea and Greg Benfield

If ever in Malta book a tour with Nigel. He was so accommodating and made sure we got to see the things we wanted since our time in Malta was limited. He was an excellent source of information on the history of Malta and its lifestyle. If I am lucky enough to return to Malta I hope I can get Nigel for an additional tour. Thanx Nigel for a wonderful day!
