I enjoyed the day overall. The guide at Selge was knowledgeable, and the ancient city itself was impressive. The rafting was a highlight, and the views along the river were stunning. The only downside was the long transfer times, but the van was comfortable and air-conditioned, so it wasn’t too bad.

The tour had some cool parts, especially the rafting, which was fun and well organized. The ancient city was interesting, but I wish there was a bit more time to explore on my own. The van rides were longer than expected, and it made the day a bit tiring. Still a decent trip for a mix of culture and adventure.

The day had some highlights. Selge was interesting and the rafting was fun. However, the long transfer times made it a bit tiring, and the lunch break felt too short. Good if you want to see some history and have a bit of adventure, but expect a full day with lots of time on the road.
