What To Expect
The Battle of Long Tan
Long Tan Nui Dat battlefield is the most famous battle fought by the Australian Army during the Vietnam War. This battle took place in a rubber plantation. On 18 August 2016 a low-key ceremony was held on the site of the battle; more than 1,000 Australian veterans and their families travelled to Viet Nam to participate in the 50th anniversary commemoration. The tour will begin with a departure for Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province by minivan. The local guide will take you to the site of Long Tan Battlefield where you will visit the former 1st Australian Task Force at Nui Dat.

5.00We booked a Tour through Tripadviser to Nui Dat and Long Tan. Our tour guide was Hillbilly Jack (HJ). This young man's reseach and presentation is very thorough. I am not a Veteran as The Aussies pulled out before I finished High School, but if you have an Interest in the Involvement of Australia in the Vietnam/American war then request this guy as your guide. HJ, thanks for a poignant and enjoyable day. Long Tan was sobering. A special place to commerate our brave boys. All the best for the future HJ. Greg Knight and Family.

Insightful and Respectful Journey Through Long Tan and Nui Dat

5.00Dingo was an outstanding guide for this tour. His depth of knowledge was immediately clear, and he brought the history of Long Tan and Nui Dat to life in a way that felt both engaging and respectful. During the drive, he provided a collection of books and photograph albums, which added valuable context and helped set the scene before arriving at the sites. His ability to describe the layout and daily reality of the ATF base at Nui Dat was particularly impressive. Given how much the area has changed since the war, his explanations made it far easier to visualise what it would have looked like when it was home to Australian troops. At the Long Tan Cross, Dingo conducted a short, respectful memorial that felt appropriate and meaningful without being overdone. It was a thoughtful touch that underscored the significance of the site. Overall, this tour is highly worthwhile for anyone with an interest in the Battle of Long Tan or the history of the Australian base at Nui Dat. Dingo’s expertise and approach made it a memorable and informative experience.

5.00An excellent and informative tour. The car was very comfortable and the driver fantastic. Dingo our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. His English is excellent and he was happy to learn some cockney rhyming slang from me. Dingo conducted a simple memorial service at the war memorial which i found poignant. The tour was well worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone.
