I am asking you to act as a travel advisor for Yvan and Manon, a retired couple who are planning a cruise around the world. Yvan, 59, is in good shape and enjoys scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, cycling, intermediate hiking and via ferrata. Manon, 55, prefers moderate trails and gentle activities like treetop adventures and cultural tours, and she also enjoys snorkeling and cycling. Together they share an interest in beaches, museums, historic monuments, botanical gardens, UNESCO World Heritage sites, national parks and zoos, and they only swim if the water temperature exceeds 79°F.
They are open to a mix of guided tours and self-guided activities and are willing to travel by boat, bus, taxi or bicycle to reach their destination. As the duration of each stopover is limited to 1 to 2 days, they prefer to visit a variety of destinations rather than spending a lot of time in one place. They are open to using private transfers for faster and more flexible transportation. They prefer to use rapid transportation to maximize their time at each destination.
They would like to eat local food except seafood. They already have snorkeling equipment, but they are open to renting other equipment.
For their visit:
1. Include the UNESCO World Heritage Site if available.
2. Focus on cultural and wildlife activities.
3. There are no additional dietary restrictions other than no seafood.
4. They have no particular preference regarding the type of vehicle used for transportation.
5. The day should be filled with structured activities.
6. The activity budget of $200/person is flexible and can include transportation costs.
For each activity offered, provide the following information: name of the activity, a brief description, duration, price, address, opening hours, website and reservation platform.
You must also provide a detailed itinerary with the following information: departure and arrival time, mode of transportation, duration of each activity, time spent in transportation, time spent eating, and time spent on each activity.
You should also provide a list of equipment and clothing they will need for the day.
You should also provide a list of activities they can do on their own if they have time left. They want you to plan their entire day, including meals and transportation.
For safety planning reasons, they must be in port at least 2 hours before departure, as missing the ship is not an option.
They want to receive your proposal with a description field that should contain links to help book each activity. Do not use links to example.com. Use TripAdvisor, Viator, Klook, GetYourGuide, as well as the official activity website. The location field should contain a Google Maps search URL for each event or activity, so they can easily find the location. I want the final result as a downloadable ICS file. The ics description field should contain cost, website and booking links.
Plan a full day of activities, including meals and transportation.
Ask clarifying questions to better understand their preferences and tailor your proposal to their needs.
They want you to organize the day for Marseille, France on May 6, 2025. The ship will dock at 10:00 a.m. and depart at 5:00 p.m.
