Professionally run tour - A very well run tour with a guide that was extremely knowledgeable on Nui Dat and Long Tan. He took me to where all the Australian a NZ Units positions were located and built a picture of what it was like during the war. I think if you are looking to get the best experience as an Australian or New Zealander this tour is a great choice.
Very comfortable car ride and a delicious lunch included, as well as stopping to get flowers for the Long Tan memorial.

Long Tan tour with Dingo! - Dingo gave us amazing insight into each stop along the tour. He truly filled the day with knowledge, and he understands the value in paying respect to fallen soldiers.
You can tell this man has done this thousands of times!

Long Tan and Nui Dat tour - This Tour was the highlight of my trip to Vietnam. It was also the main reason for my visit. I planned my entire trip around this tour. And I was was not prepared for how good the Guide Dingo Chien would be. He was incredibly friendly, accommodating and insightful.
He had an intimate knowledge of the Long Tan and Nui Dat area and its history as it pertained to the Australian and New Zealand involvement in the Vietnam conflict.
Dingo performed two memorial services for me on the day that moved me to tears. He was so incredibly respectful.
Dingo Chien was able to give me a perspective on the conflict that I had not envisioned. As a former Australian Defence Force Member, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
Thank you Dingo Chien

A very moving day. - I had the very knowledgeable guide Dingo Chien for my tour to Long Tan Battlefield. I was grateful to be paired with another solo traveller who had similar knowledge of the history, and similar personal connection to ADF veterans. Chien’s English was excellent, his knowledge of the Australian involvement was very detailed, and I appreciated when he read The Ode at the memorial. He has met countless Aussie veterans so his tour was more personal, not ‘textbook’. It was a very moving day.
Our driver was a very safe driver, the lunch was delicious, Chien has a great sense of humour, I would definitely recommend this tour!

Informative, enjoyable and powerful - It was a great tour. We had relatives in the war and have been planning to tour these areas for years. Our guide, ‘hillbilly Jack’ made this experience. He provided great detailed information on Vietnamese culture, traditions, history and the war. Hillbilly Jack also held specific information relating to the Australian and NZ involvement; making the tour personal, and shared antidotes from previous veterans he had taken on tours. Additionally, he had written information and photos to help easily relate each of the areas we visited to how it looked during the war. He was a perfect mix of helpful, respectful and fun! Would definitely recommend this tour (with Hillbilly Jack!) to anyone, but especially those who have a personal connection to these places.
