Recommendable choice for Pamukkale - The guide is multi-lingual and very friendly and nice. The arrangement of the whole trip is good. We had lunch after the tour before heading back.

Day trip to Pamukelle - It was an excellent excursion which was managed quite well by Shahin. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us very good insights about the history of the region.
We would definitely recommend him to others and would come back ourselves. Unfortunately, we had a couple of families who recklessly did not follow the time given, delaying the entire bus. They acted entitled and were quite rude when called out.
Overall, Shahin was an excellent tour guide which made the trip memorable for us.

Express Fun! - The bus arrived on the dot, it was safe and comfortable, and got us there ahead of the crowds! Despite the long commute and the “express” nature of the actual tour, we didn’t mind the stops en route knowing this is vital for driver alertness and road safety! Also, the stops were no surprise as they formed part of the scheduled itinerary. We didn’t shop at the stone sellers but a few others enjoyed it, just like we enjoyed our much needed breakfast stop while some sat on the bus - it’s what we all signed up for!
Shahin the guide was ever so knowledgeable, well spoken and patient, especially in dealing with a group of passengers who kept showing up late, with little awareness or regret for how this was affecting other families, children and staff who were clearly making an effort otherwise. Shahin’s confrontation of the issue on behalf of us all escalated rapidly and for this he did apologise publicly (multiple times) but that group’s lack of empathy and resentful attitude remained unchanged.
What could be better: I think it would make the express tour more enjoyable if the operator could switch to a paid lunch on the site and cut the overall price a bit (or offer breakfast instead). The stone shop felt like a bit of an anomaly given the overall tour budget!

Easy way to get to Pamukkale from Antalya - We looked around for a few options before choosing this one.
Having been on a few of these tours, I would say that the common theme involves a lot of unnecessary stops at local shops. In this case, though, we only made one such stop, at an onyx making place.
We were picked up at the time that was communicated the day before (5:45), we stopped at a road cafe for breakfast (not included in the price), then we arrived at Pamukkale where we spent about 2 and 1/2 hours, we then moved to a buffet restaurant nearby (the food wasn't the tastiest), and finally headed back.
Unfortunately we were always running late, partly because a large group on our bus was always getting on the bus late (on top of being rather noisy and inconsiderate), which caused several arguments and delays. I don't feel this was handled too graciously by the staff, but I can also see one can lose his temper when challenged.
The drive is very, very long, and the coach was rather slow and could use some fixing (it stalled a few times on the way back). Apart from that, the guide was helpful, friendly, and spoke lots of languages), and the tour delivered pretty much what was promised.

UNPROFESSIONAL.. AVOID AT ANY COST.. - Unfortunately this was the worst trip some one would ever want on their holidays specially with children. We were travelling as a family of 2 Adults & 2 child. We started our trip at 05:30 am and ended our trip at 09:00 PM. Within this 13 hours of our trip we got only 2 & half hour at the place to cover Cleopatra Bath, Cotton Mountains & Heriapolis.
Guide Shahin had very limited knowledge about the history of the place. During our stretched drive to Pamukkale, he only spoke about what altitude we are travelling. No meaningful information shared about the culture & history of the place.
One of our friend went with the other agency and guide was so knowledgeable that he also advised what to avoid when going in the Pool ( as it is very rocky & slippery inside ), how to walk safe on the Cotton Mountain to avoid any slips.
He was one of the most unprofessional guide some one would ever want on his trip. Because of unwanted shopping stops, ( which was not advised at the time of booking ) within this 13 hours you only get 2 hours at the destinations. Upon telling him about “ VERY POORLY MANAGED TRIP”, he felt offended and started shouting & asking us to SHUT UP.
While returning the Bus broke down & they divided the families in 3 different cars. The cab driver they sent kept telling he does not speak English & don’t know anything. It was a torrential rain & he left us at the security check point instead of dropping us at the hotel door. My son fell of the car in rain and got hurt.
VERY UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.
In one word , AVOID AT ANY COST. SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING WITH CHILD.

Worst experience ever avoid at all cost - We went for a day tour with Excursions Mania at Pamukkale and had a nightmare experience with our tour guide Shahim or Shahin whatever his name was. At one point in time he had an argument with one of our friends where he raised his voice asking them to "shut up" threatening us to kick us out of the bus. His behaviour was of a typical Turkish goon. During the tour, on the microphone all he talked about was altitudes and how in his experience black coffee reduced his man power. He had extremely limited knowledge of the place and made up stories all along about how ancient empire was full of uneducated kings. This goon guide should be vetted as he lacks manners and does not know how to talk to women as he shouted at our friends wife just because she was standing and waiting for someone to move so she could sit. All in all extremely poor experience. We left Antalya at 5:30 am, breakfast stop at 6:30 am lunch after 2:30 pm. We spent hardly 2 hours in Pamukkale. The bus also broke down and we had to wait over 45 mins for replacement bus. It was pouring down and the driver blatantly refused to drop our friends to hotel door by stating "no english". I would like a refund if possible. Avoid at all cost.
