Eagle Canyon & Selge
We had a fantastic day. The views from the Eagle Canyon lookout areas were incredible, well worth the small entrance fee. Lunch was good with a beautiful view, absolutely stunning 😍
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! 😊 We’re very happy you enjoyed the breathtaking views, delicious lunch, and the beauty of Eagle Canyon. We hope to see you again on another adventure! 🌿🏞️🙏

Bus tour with photo tops
The tour is more of a bus tour with photo tops. You travel through various hotspots and then have between 10 and 20 minutes to take photos there. If you want to go hiking, this tour is certainly wrong. But if you just want to take some photos of the canyon and amphitheatre, you can book the tour. The guide is very nice and tries a lot.
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback 🙏🏼 Sie haben unsere Tour sehr gut beschrieben – sie ist tatsächlich eher eine panoramische Tour mit Fotostopps. Unser Ziel ist es, die schönsten Orte der Region entspannt zu zeigen, anstatt lange Wanderungen zu machen. Ihre netten Worte über unseren Guide freuen uns sehr 😊 Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei einer anderen Tour wieder begrüßen zu dürfen!

As a bus taxi to the mountains good and cheap, nice views, but chaotic and without a guide.
It was okay, but we were a little disappointed. Value for money was okay, but the services were not quite met. The food was good. What was bad: - There were no German or English speaking guides on the tour, only at the Dallas rafting station. There was only one Russian-speaking guide on the tour who could not speak a word (!) of English. He ignored the non-Russians and did not bother to explain anything. A Russian then translated something for us in English. - The tour went to the zipline station where 3 Russians drove the zipline, we had to wait there without knowing why. The tour did not go (!) to the Tazı Kanyonu platform further north, where the known photos come from. Nevertheless, the view was nice, but not like in the photos. - The return trip was poorly organized. The bus driver apparently had to take more people with him than planned, there was an argument between the employees, a Briton screamed through the bus. People were reassorted at the Jacaranda Hotel. We were forgotten and had to remember ourselves / our hotel, otherwise we would not have come back.
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Leider ist unser Guide an diesem Tag krank geworden und aufgrund der langen Entfernung konnte der andere Guide die Tour nicht rechtzeitig erreichen. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten und danken Ihnen für Ihr Verständnis.

Great views and a very interesting day😍
We joined this tour during our stay in Side and really enjoyed the experience. The view from Eagle Canyon was incredible huge cliffs, fresh mountain air and amazing scenery all around. It’s one of those places where you just stop for a moment and enjoy the view. Visiting the ancient city of Selge was also very interesting. Walking around the old ruins in the mountains gives you a real feeling of history. Later we spent some time near Köprülü Canyon where we could relax by the river and enjoy the peaceful nature. Everything during the day was well organized and the guide was friendly and helpful. It was a very nice trip with a good mix of nature, history and beautiful landscapes. Definitely worth doing while visiting the Side area. Value for money.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the views, the history, and the nature during the tour. Hope to see you again!

Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Side.
How much does Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Side usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Side is not rushed.
Is Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Side, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Side can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Side and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Side within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Side?
+
On Outty we rank every Side experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya Quad, Buggy, Rafting & Zipline Tour w/Lunch & Transfer, Green Canyon Jeep and Boat Tour with Lunch, Jeep Safari Adventure around Green Canyon with Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Side?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Side?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; Lunch; and Guides. Not included: Entrance fees; Drinks; and Personel Expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 524 listed pickup locations in and around Side. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, English and Turkish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Side Eagle Canyon & Koprulu Canyon with Ancient Selge Tour?
+
