Felt it was as very rushed and didn’t see everything on the itinerary- didn’t go to the museum in Hissar town only the one at the fortress in the Medrassa. The guide seemed in a great hurry to get finished with me so he could get on to the next group of people coming. I liked it but felt a bit disappointed.
