A full-day trip from Side to Eagle Canyon and Selge ancient city, with river lunch, Roman photo stops, and a short canyon hike for $45.
“I wouldn’t recommend this trip. We were picked up and at the first stop we were placed at a table and told to wait.

“I had an amazing experience on this tour! I enjoyed every aspect of it, especially the refreshing and breathtaking Waterfall and Green Canyon. The scenic drive was also enjoyable, and Alex, our guide, provided us with great information. He was polite, entertaining, and engaging. My husband left his bag in Alex's van, but Alex was kind enough to drop it off for us. Overall, it was a memorable experience that I will cherish forever. Thank you, Spass Tour, for such a wonderful day trip!”

Unfortunately, we lose points because the bus driver drove very fast and very close to the cliff, which scared us all. Still, it was a very nice trip :)”
