Questions About This Tour

Yes, this covers the main sites well; serious Gandhara scholars or researchers may want longer, but a day gives a thorough introduction for most visitors.
It's possible but rushed, we'd generally recommend treating them as separate day trips, or a longer combined day starting very early if you specifically want both.
