Decision artifact
Make the tradeoff visible
| Decision | Use the ordered planning checklist to compare current provider proposals. |
| Local operating limits | Fix the number of nights and arrival route before choosing lake travel. Place the most weather-sensitive boat plan early enough to move or replace it. Create two route diagrams: one from the guide's stated Old Town route and another from the lake or road provider's stated movement. Add confirmed opening information, meeting points, meal opportunities, and return deadlines before judging whether both proposals fit one day. |
| Required artifact | Ordered planning checklist |
| Fallback | Save the meeting points, return arrangements, and source links in one note. Recheck schedules and border rules close to any regional or international excursion. Before departure, save the municipality, hydrometeorological, provider, and accommodation contacts. Recheck the precise cruise or bus, not merely a general seasonal timetable. If border travel is proposed, obtain current entry information from responsible government sources for every traveler. |

Ask whether sequence Old Town walking outside the hardest heat when possible, then use the waterfront or an indoor stop as recovery. Keep Saint Naum as a distinct half- or full-day decision. Ask the guide about surfaces, steps, and exposure before scheduling heritage walking. If considering a boat, ask whether the provider allows a date change. Ask every Saint Naum provider to state how much visit time the product includes.
