Plan a trip through several cities and pause before booking

Plan a trip for [number of travellers]. Treat these as fixed and never change them: we leave [home city] on [departure date] and are back by [return date]; the cities, in order, are [city (nights), city (nights), city (nights)]; the total budget for transport and hotels is [amount and currency]. If any of these cannot work, pause and check with me instead of choosing other dates or cities yourself.

My preferences: [for example, rail for any journey shorter than five hours, hotels with a rating of at least 8 and free cancellation and within walking distance of the centre, no departures before 9 AM].

1. Before searching, ask me anything you need to know.
2. Draft a plan for each day. For every leg, give two options with the operator, local departure and arrival times, duration, price, plus a link to the listing and the time you looked. For every city, give two hotels with the nightly price, the rating and star class exactly as the site shows them, the cancellation terms and the distance to [the area I care about]. Do not round or guess; write "not shown" for anything you could not see.
3. Check the plan: time needed to get between stations and hotels, arrival times against check-in times, and whether [any sights I named] are open on the days we are there.

Then STOP: present the plan and wait until I have picked one choice per leg and one hotel per night.

4. For every choice I make, go to its booking page and complete it, stopping before you reach payment, with the travellers, dates and room I agreed to. Before handing over, read me what that page shows for travellers, dates, the room, the full price and the refund policy.

Whenever you reach a sign-in, a CAPTCHA, a form asking for personal details or a payment screen, pause and let me take over. Never type in card details, and only pick a rate without refunds if I say so.

5. Once I have paid for a booking, record it and its confirmation number in a single itinerary document.
