5.00We had the absolute privilege of attending the Dawn Service in Vietnam with Nam and Lady Hong, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Their professionalism, warmth, and extensive knowledge made the entire journey incredibly meaningful and seamless. Nam and Lady Hong went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, while also sharing their deep understanding of the history, culture, and significance of the service. Their passion and expertise brought the experience to life in a way that was both respectful and memorable. We are so grateful for their guidance, hospitality, and genuine care throughout the trip. If you are considering a Vietnam tour or attending a commemorative event, we highly recommend Nam and Lady Hong — they are exceptional at what they do.
The highlight of our trip

5.00We had the most amazing day with Nam. Being able to do a dawn service on ANZAC day at Long Tan was one of the highlights of our trip. Nam's knowledge about Nui Dat was excellent. When we told him my Uncle had served in Vietnam, Nam was able to identify where in Nui Dat he was and take us to those places. This was definitely a life changing experience and I highly recommend doing this with Nam. Also a special mention needs to go to our driver Lady Hong for getting us there safely and in comfort
Exceptional Private Tour with Huong ♥️

5.00We had an incredible one-day private tour with Huong visiting the Long Tan Cross, Nui Dat base, and Horseshoe Hill. Huong was exceptionally detailed, informed, and brought history to life using photos and over 30 years of knowledge. Knowing she personally cleans the Long Tan memorial site every month shows her immense respect and dedication to the site. She was funny, personable, and made the whole day feel tailored just for us. After the history tour, she took us to Vung Tau, which we absolutely fell in love with. The seafood lunch she chose was right on the water and truly amazing. We ended the day with spectacular views from the lighthouse, some sight seeing, and a comfortable ride home. Thank you, Hoang, for your time, knowledge, and for making our trip so memorable!

5.00Hung was an outstanding tour guide on our one-day Long Tan and Vung Tau tour. She was very informative, took great care of us the whole day, and had incredibly detailed knowledge of the Australian war effort, especially at Nui Dat and Long Tan. We were really impressed by how she personally looks after the memorial cross at Long Tan, laying flowers and tending to it regularly – it’s clear she’s been doing this for thirty years with real heart. She also took us to some fantastic spots around Vung Tau, including an excellent seafood restaurant. The food was delicious and the whole day ran smoothly. We had a wonderful time and we want to sincerely thank Hung for her time and care. Highly recommended!
Memorable and inspiring, historical visit.

An incredible Vietnam experience

5.00What an incredible experience. Our amazing guide Huong, and our driver Don ensured we had a comfortable ride with so much information as well as a few laughs. This tour was particularly personal to all of us as we were connected to family who fought in the Vietnam war. Huong took us everywhere she could related to our family connection and even shared historical pictures, songs and stories that were related to the places and times. Lunch was also amazing. 12/10 would recommend. Thank you for such a memorable day.
