Fantastic Tour - Massive thanks to Dingo Chien for a fantastic tour. He was punctual, had great English and provided some fantastic information. I would 100% recommend this tour for anyone wanting to pay their respects or learn more about what happened in Long Tan. Not as much walking as i thought but make sure you wear mosquito repellent.

Excellent tour with Dingo! - A wonderful tour with the very informative Dingo Chien who was very humorous! We got to see many significant sights and photo opportunities. Dingo set up two special Australian memorials for us to remember and reflect on the battle of Long Tan. Highly recommend this tour.

An insightful and thought provoking tour of Australian military history - This was a great tour. Dingo Chein and Tan (our driver) were fabulous and very knowledgeable about the local history and what happened at the Battle of Long Tan as well as other stops of significance along the way. The tunnels were interesting and the lunch stop was very yummy. We did a private tour which was expensive but we would definitely recommend and Dingo Chein tailored to what we showed interest in. Don’t miss out on this tour. We were also very appreciative of the small memorial services that Dingo Chein set up and held with us at the two major places of interest including stopping to get flowers on the way.

Wonderful tour with Nam - What a wealth of knowledge Nam had about the area and history of Long Tan. We had a wonderful time listening to his stories and seeing sights that took us to a place of understanding of historical events. Was a pleasure meeting him and sharing his insights.

Moving Day At Long Tan and Nui Dat - Wow what a great day with Mr Dingo Chien. Very informative and a man that has vast experience on the history of Australian and Vietnamese service men showed me where my Uncle would have served with SAS 3rd Squadron in 1966 so if you have a link to this place or just want to see where the Aussie forces were based he’s the guy to show you. Many thanks Dingo you’re a legend.

Dingo and the mighty tour of long tan - Friendly, knowledgeable and outstanding! Just a few things I can say about this amazing experience. Very knowledgeable about the history and traditions relating to the battle of long tan and those who served. The tour guide (Dingo) spoke excellent English, very helpful and took us everywhere throughout the area. He always wore a big smile and was happy to crack a joke or 2. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the battle of long tan and will recommend this experience to family and friends (aslong as the Dingo shows them the ropes)
