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.
Nui Dat hill
Our first stop-over is Nui Dat SAS Hill, where you will be shown the helicopter parking and camping areas of soldiers and explained the important sites during the war. You will have an overview of the 4 km circle of the Nui Dat base perimeter. Next, we will visit the rubber forest and pass Mong Ngua Mountain – which was used to be the shelter of Vietnamese soldiers.

5.00Dingo was an excellent, knowledgeable and respectful guide with a great connection to the Australian task force. As a veteran I could not have hoped for more.
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.
Australian battlefield tour.

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.
Fascinating and eye opening tour of the Battle around Long Tan

5.00A very professional, well organized and respectful tour, The memorial was memorable and thoughtful. Dingo had very extensive understanding of the area. A must do for those genuinely untested in history.
Long Tan Memorial and Nui Dat - Great tour, however, the guide did not appreciate my original review.

5.00I will begin by saying that my review was originally and still is 4/5. I have now changed my review score due to guilt from many messages from the guide personally on WhatsApp and I do not want to get a man fired or payed less because of my criticism of his company and a rating on an app. My criticism lies with the advertising and price for what you get from SG Tours. I am still confused whether this was meant to be a private tour or with other people. I ended up being alone but I assumed that was because no one else booked that day - the listing does not mention it being ‘private’. The price of the tour left me wondering if I'd just done a little more research, had some of my own maps of the Nui Dat base and a rental scooter I may have had a cheaper and more lengthy experience (minus the guide’s in-depth knowledge). This is no criticism to the guide’s tour just personal budget concerns as a backpacker. The Tour itself: l enjoyed my time with Dingo on this tour and he did have great English as other reviews mention. To me it came across that he has great interest in the battle as well as the Australian Veterans he'd met that fought at the location. I appreciated the service at both the Long Tan Cross and more accurate battle location. If you have the money go for it. If you’re on a budget maybe consider going yourself although you’ll miss out on great knowledge from the guide. If you leave an honest review, even if it critiques the company, don’t be surprised when you are harassed on WhatsApp by the guide personally about ruining their reputation.
