- AMichaela· May 14th, 2023The guide Peter was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and caring. The other travellers were great company - having a group of 11 was just right. I enjoyed the change in landscape - gorges, coast, mountains and towns. We also got to swim in the Libyan Sea which was delightful. Peter took us to lovely restaurants where the food and drink were delicious.Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by Explore!
