One of you can see it all without dragging the other 20,000 steps per day.
One of you can sip coffee all day at the café without holding the other back.
You've got 23 browser tabs open. Destinations on a list. A rough idea of what sounds good.
What you don't have is a way to compare how they connect, how long each one actually needs, or what the real arrival situation looks like before you land.
This toolkit is the step that happens before you book anything. The phase where you figure out what your trip actually is.
Your entire trip planning system at a glance. Navigate to any tab, understand where you are in the process, and keep your research organized from the first destination to the final booking.
Clear step-by-step guidance before you start. How to duplicate destination tabs, where to paste your AI response, and what not to edit so the formulas stay intact. Read it once and you won't need it again.
One tab per destination. Rail access and luggage storage. The real arrival situation. Best neighborhood to base from. What to skip. Honest pacing advice. Where to go next by train. One paste fills it all.
All your researched destinations side by side. Rail connections, nights needed, logical order. Finalize your route in the journey table and you're ready to start booking. The itinerary stops living in your head.
Skip the blank page. These ten major rail cities come pre-loaded and ready to drop into your itinerary. Want more? Add 45 more pre-researched destinations at checkout.

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini. Whatever you already use. Not a prompt you'd find free online. This is a long, tested prompt with years of hub-and-spoke research logic already built in. The AI returns a structured report built around how independent rail travelers think about a destination. Not a generic tourist summary.
Works with the free versions of most AI toolsOne paste fills all the research cards. Repeat for each destination. Open the journey table and everything is there side by side, ready to build your route.
One of you wants to see everything. One of you wants a slow morning and a good café. You're not trying to force a compromise, you're trying to find one hub that works for both.
You want to know the real arrival situation, the walkable center, and what's within an hour by train, before either of you spends a day dragging the other somewhere they didn't want to be.
You have destinations in mind but haven't figured out which ones actually work for both paces, or which belong on the route at all.
You're comfortable with Google Sheets and use AI tools at least occasionally. No hand-holding needed, just a system.
You want your research saved somewhere permanent, not lost when you close a browser tab.
What this doesn't do: it doesn't book trains, pull live schedules, or replace a travel agent. Think of it as the strategic research step that happens before all of that. The phase where you figure out what your trip actually is before you spend money on it.
