Tell me your destination city/cities, travel dates, number of travellers and arrival/departure airports so I can design an efficient route and timing; these details determine whether we plan a linear north→south route or a circular loop. This is the single most important input for a tailored itinerary.
Specify travel pace (relaxed vs busy), main interests (culture, nature, food, shopping, adventure) and budget tier; this decides which neighbourhoods and activities I prioritise when mapping a sensible route. Clear priorities let me cluster attractions geographically for minimal transit time.
Tell me dietary restrictions, cuisine preferences and whether you prefer cafés, street food, or fine dining; I will then recommend breakfast, lunch and dinner venues with opening hours once I know the destination. If you don’t have preferences, I’ll suggest a balance of local eateries and highly-rated restaurants.
Confirm if you prefer to hire a car, use trains/flights, rent scooters, or rely on taxis/public transport and note any mobility needs; transport choice shapes how tightly we can pack activities and which route direction (e.g., coastal drive vs. train corridor) makes sense.
Tell me preferred accommodation type (hotel, guesthouse, homestay, luxury/resort) and per-night budget so I can place you in optimal neighbourhoods close to the sights in the chosen route. This lets me cluster nightly stops for minimal backtracking.
Provide any must-see attractions, events, celebrations, accessibility needs or health requirements so I can prioritise and confirm opening days/times for those sites while routing logically between them. This avoids closed-day surprises and ensures smooth daily plans.
General guideline examples: Breakfast — local cafés or markets (typically open 7:00–11:00). Lunch — street-food stalls or casual restaurants (11:00–15:00). Dinner — sit-down restaurants or specialty venues (18:00–23:00). I will provide specific names and exact opening/closing times after you confirm the destination.
When you reply with the above details I’ll prepare a multi-day itinerary that flows geographically (e.g., north→south or a loop), with daily schedules, opening hours, exact restaurant recommendations and cost estimates, plus booking links and transit times.
