I've been there four times (so far), and if my guides and drivers have been any indication, the Mongols have got to be some of the most patient people in the world. If your tour guide was on the verge of calling in, then in a lot of countries the idiot would have been expelled twenty complaints earlier.

I fight my own dissapointment every time I visit a place with some significant history and culture, to find the experience altered by the guys in burmuda shorts and sneakers pushing past me as I am trying to catch a view without a crowd of tourists in it. Although is is cool to have "been there, done that," the less known temples and sites can give a better sense of the history and place. Or at least, a better opportunity to absorb it.
