Itinerary
Our tour begins with an early morning departure from Ho Chi Minh City, where you'll be picked up by our knowledgeable and friendly guide at 8 am. As we drive through the picturesque countryside, our guide will provide you with valuable insights into the historical context of the Vietnam War and the significance of the Long Tan Battle. After there, proceed to the Discourtesy Rubber Plantation by driving by Horseshoe FSB (entry is prohibited due to the ongoing presence of land mines). Before going on to the Long Phuoc Tunnels, stop at the Long Tan Cross Memorial, a site of memory. The Long Phuoc Tunnels had meeting spaces, first aid stations, and fighting pits, just like other underground systems discovered in Vietnam. Our last destination on a half-day journey to Long Tan - Nui Dat is the Long Phuoc Tunnels. You will return to Ho Chi Minh City after a brief break. Visit ends at your hotel.

Traveler reviews
Extremely moving and personal 🫶
What an amazing day with Tu. This man's knowledge of Long Tan and Nui Dat through the local perspective was fantastic. If you are thinking of doing this tour I can highly recommend it 👌 we can't thank Tu enough for making this a personal, educational and moving experience 🫶
Great experience!
Sergeant Dao ( or Tony) was a fantastic guide for the trip. His first hand experience of the Australian operations and the base was enlightening and helped paint the picture of the time and place. My son and I thank You To y for sharing this with us.
Friendly and informative guide by a veteran
81 years young. Tony was an interpreter for the ANZACs in 1966, and remembers.the base and the battles personally. Happy to answer any questions, Tony is friendly and helpful as he guides you to the old places and tells you about the changes.
Informative and personal experience
A great experience with our funny and cheeky tour guide Mr Dao (Tony). First hand account of what our blokes had up against them and the sacrifices that many of them paid. It’s a shame that SAS Hill has been quarried, but the main high point still exists. Mr Dao supplied flowers, drinks and lunch and we were driven around by his driver in a nice black Toyota Fortuner, VIP style. Lest we forget.
