6.From City of Side: Cabrio Bus Safari & Boat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 73 reviews · 7 hours · from $20Best value

Review of Side’s $20 Cabrio bus and Green Lake boat tour, with mountain villages, lunch, waterfalls, value, and practical drawbacks.

“The content of the program is not quite the same as advertised. Visit to the aqueduct and mosque (both 10min).

“We had so much fun on this tour. The groups are small, which is preferable to a large bus and resulted in lots of space to move around the ship. Our guide, George, was very friendly and knowledgable. He shared some of Cyprus' history with us and kept the mood light and fun. We honestly laughed a lot and had a great time! The jeep definitely isn't made for very tall people, (other Hutchins, you're warned) but you're not inside the jeep for a long time and I still preferred this to large bus transportation. On the ship everybody was very friendly as well. We swam with the turtles which…”
