Bringing alive the Aussie role in the Vietnam War

5.00My wife & I were very young during the period of Australian involvement in the Vietnam War. However we heard the news reports which mentioned Nui Dat, Long Tan and Vung Tau. Our guide Nam was able to explain the significance of each location using historic photos as well as anecdotes shared with him personally by Aussie Vietnam veterans. We left with a real appreciation of that part of Australia's military history. This would not be possible in a large group tour (we saw a couple of buses) where you are herded into sites and given a superficial explanation. Thank you Nam for our personal tour and for your passion in keeping alive this part of Australia's history.
Nam is the best tour guide.

5.00Excellent day trip to visit the Long Tan battlefield, the Australian military base at Nui Dat and the lovely coastal town of Vung Tau. Nam, the guide is very knowledgeable about the battle, the base and the history of the area. He explained the wartime locations of the various units and pointed out various relics from that era such as the remains of bunkers, trenches, the old airstrip and helicopter landing area at the base. After visiting the Long Tan Cross memorial, we had a wonderful lunch at a seaside restaurant in Vung Tau and as special treat, we made a stop at the Museum of Worldwide Arms in Vung Tau to view the incredible collection of weapons, uniforms, etc. Overall a very interesting tour! My thanks to Nam for the awesome experience! Thanks, Pete

5.00Nam was an excellent guide. He tailored the tour to my interests and my dad’s (a Vietnam veteran) history in the war. We accessed the non touristy sights and it was brilliant to see where my dad was during the war.

5.00One of the best tours on our Vietnam Trip! Our guide, Nam, was full of so much extra knowledge and payed attention to the finer details. He managed the busy tourist crowds so easily too. Thoroughly enjoyed our day.
A very personal and heart-healing tour

5.00As a daughter of a Vietnam vet, I could not have wished for a more knowledgeable, respectful, responsive and generous guide than Nam. From the very first moment, we were taken care of, travelling in a luxury limousine vehicle with an exceptional driver, mr Chau. Immediately Nam asked about my family connection and then designed our tour with very special detours to places of personal significance. He listened to my father’s stories/memories (I video called my dad in Australia from each significant place) and Nam showed us every place. He was a highly skilled listener and incredibly authentic and respectful to my personal connection. I will be forever grateful to Nam for telling me “I want to bring you to these places, and show your father, so you can have new memories and see that everything is ok. It is a peaceful and happy place.” He is truly committed to bringing healing and peace to veterans and their families. I will be forever grateful. Thank you Nam ❤️
