Subject: Re: Individual tour guide for Libya and Iran
Joke and Jos,

The Los Angeles Times had a fascinating story last year by a travel writer who was part of one of the first groups to tour Libya. You can read her story at http://tinyurl.com/dftzp (free membership may be required).

You will see that the writer participated in a tour group but she mentions a local guide as well.

Good luck!
