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

Overview of your Valletta tour

You may have heard that Malta is one of the most bombed places on earth. This tour tells the story of Malta's role during the Second World War that led to this infamous title. Being in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, Malta was always strategically important as a naval base during any conflict in the theatre. In this tour, we will explore the struggles faced by the brave local people and the Allied forces who defended the Maltese Islands. We'll also examine numerous exhibits from that period, showcased at Fort St Elmo's National War Museum. As a well-versed guide in military history, I'll lead you through the period with informative storytelling supported by the excellent exhibits on display at the fort. The tour will take us indoors and also outdoors.

Nigel was a fantastic guide. He possesses a wealth of knowledge about the area and the topics. He got to know us and knew just how much detail we wanted to hear (which was considerable) and how much walking and physical exertion we could tolerate (We were a group of senior citizens) I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for an informative experience

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was very informative and visited sites that we might not have known about and Nigel was very knowledgeable about what happened to Malta during WWII. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history!

Nigel is extremely knowledgeable about Malta during WW2. He is very professional and personable as well. He was patient and let us move at our own pace as we moved around the sites.
