Long Tan Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget"

Tony was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of Long Tan. The pace of the tour was perfect, giving us enough time at each site to explore and reflect. This was one of the most memorable tours of our Vietnam holiday.

We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Tony. His knowledge was impressive, and he made every location come alive with interesting stories and historical background. Comfortable transport, perfect organization, and a fantastic guide made this a five-star experience.

Starting time advised 8.00 am. No one showed up or called or answered the phone when we called repeatedly. At 10.30 am a person turned up and blamed us for the wrong hotel, we checked and we gave the correct information and the tour guide made the mistake. The other hotel was 5 minutes away so obviously a lie to cover the mistake. Why did they not call or answered the phone when we called repeatedly. As our time was limited in Ho Chi Minh and we had no idea what was happening as all calls were ignored we booked another tour. The hotel helped us out here. We have requested a refund numerous times and have now given up. $400 down the drain which is a lot of money.

What an amazing day with Tu. This man's knowledge of Long Tan and Nui Dat through the local perspective was fantastic. If you are thinking of doing this tour I can highly recommend it 👌 we can't thank Tu enough for making this a personal, educational and moving experience 🫶

Sergeant Dao ( or Tony) was a fantastic guide for the trip. His first hand experience of the Australian operations and the base was enlightening and helped paint the picture of the time and place. My son and I thank You To y for sharing this with us.

81 years young. Tony was an interpreter for the ANZACs in 1966, and remembers.the base and the battles personally. Happy to answer any questions, Tony is friendly and helpful as he guides you to the old places and tells you about the changes.

A great experience with our funny and cheeky tour guide Mr Dao (Tony). First hand account of what our blokes had up against them and the sacrifices that many of them paid. It’s a shame that SAS Hill has been quarried, but the main high point still exists. Mr Dao supplied flowers, drinks and lunch and we were driven around by his driver in a nice black Toyota Fortuner, VIP style. Lest we forget.

Tony was my guide, Vietnamese tour guide. 80 years old and was at the battle supporting the Australian troops. he was a wealth of information. very helpful and passionate. highly recommend

We had a very good tour from Saigon to Long Tan with Tu as our guide who was very informative and helpful. It is a very peaceful and memorable location for a memorial to a battle that killed so many on both sides and is now dedicated to friendship between Vietnam and Australia

Mr. Dao was an outstanding tour guide, highly knowledgeable about all aspects of the Vietnam War. Having a Vietnam veteran as our guide made the experience even more meaningful. Visiting the Long Tan Cross was a deeply moving moment. Standing amidst the rubber plantation, just as the soldiers once did, was a powerful experience. We also visited the old runway near Nui Dat and the remains of the helicopter landing pad that once accommodated dozens of choppers, it was truly fascinating. Although much of the area has been reclaimed by local farmers, a bit of imagination helped bring the history to life. The Long Phuoc tunnels offered a unique experience, very different from the Cu Chi tunnels. These tunnels are significantly larger, you can stand upright while walking through them. We explored a 100-meter stretch, encountering bats and hidden shooting posts along the way. A fantastic tour overall, highly recommended!
