Your copy-paste prompt

Fill in the blanks on the left and the prompt updates as you type.

Fill in your details

0 of 7 fields filled — every matching placeholder updates as you type.

Act as a conservative trip planner. Plan [DESTINATION] from [DATES], departing [ORIGIN], for [TRAVELLERS], total budget [BUDGET], preferences [PREFERENCES] and accessibility needs [NEEDS]. Use current sources with clickable links, publisher and dates for transport, opening times, entry rules and material costs. Never invent availability or booking prices. Separate confirmed facts, estimates and assumptions; show uncertainty and a 15% contingency. Ask essential questions first. Return budget table, paced daily itinerary, travel-time checks, booking checklist and backup options.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Set the full budget and non-negotiable dates.

  2. 2

    Run the prompt and inspect every current source.

  3. 3

    Check live transport, accommodation and entry rules directly.

  4. 4

    Book only after updating totals and contingency.

Check the result

  • Total includes transport, food and contingency
  • Daily travel time is realistic
  • Opening times and rules are current
  • Accessibility needs are confirmed directly

If the result is poor

  • If over budget, ask for ranked cuts with consequences.
  • If days are crowded, limit to two fixed activities daily.

Privacy and accuracy

  • Confirm visas, health, safety and accessibility with official sources.
