Summer Heritage Tour

July 1 -14, 2026

To those joining us this July,
thank you.

Day One — Arrival & First Gathering

Our journey begins here (July 1, 2026):

Hotel Name & Address will be shared closer to the date.

If you are arriving before July 1:

  • Check in at the hotel under your name.

  • Let the front desk know you are with Third Culture Vietnam (Dao Huynh)

  • If you arrive early and your room is not yet ready, you may store luggage at reception.

 

Airport to Hotel

Airport: Nội Bài International Airport (HAN)
Estimated travel time to hotel: 35–45 minutes (depending on traffic)

If arranging independently:

  • Use Grab or Xanh SM (Vietnam’s ride-share app).

  • Enter: La Sinfonía Citadel Hotel & Spa

Quick Tip:
Download ride-share apps like Grab before you arrive in Vietnam. You can add your credit card in the app so you don’t need to pay cash each time. This makes airport transfers and daily rides much smoother.

Pre-Trip Checklist (Reminder)

A complete checklist to help you begin preparing:

Essential Items

  • Passport valid 6 months beyond travel

  • Travel insurance (highly recommended)

    • Partnership Referral (Link)

  • Lightweight layers for varying climates

  • One modest outfit for temples

  • Walking shoes

  • Sunscreen, hat, reusable water bottle

Connectivity

  • International eSIM (Airalo, Nomad, Holafly)

Packing Reminder

Because we move frequently — from the North to Central Vietnam to the South, we strongly encourage:

  • Pack lightly

  • Aim for 1 checked bag (20kg) + 1 carry-on (7kg) only

  • Bring clothing that layers easily

  • Leave extra room for items you may collect along the way

Light luggage makes transitions smoother and keeps the journey comfortable for everyone. There will be time to do laundry during the tour.
