Traveler reviews
LongTan homage
Jack was fantastic, as a former soldier he throughly ‘gets it’ when Aussie patriots want to pay homage to the fallen. Jacks true passion for history shone through, not just a tour guide doing tour guide things, many a conversation was expanded on via my own passion for the same history. In particular, with utmost respect, Jack gave fascinating insights to the Vietnamese side of the conflict, filling gaps I didn’t previously know were there in my own understanding of the history. Daniel is in great hands learning from the ‘master’ & I wish him all the best…. But he has big shoes to fill!!!
Beach Lovers
Jack and Daniel are the best! Jack is amazingly knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and he shares it passionately. Both of them are willing to answer any questions gracefully. We also felt very safe with Truong’s driving skills. The beaches are beautiful and the food was delicious. As beach lovers, we are glad we joined this tour.
Vietnam travel Group
Wanting to see the oceans shoreline, we booked this private tour of Vung Tau with Vietnam Travel Group. Our tour guide/s Jack and Daniel took care of us and were flexible with our sights needs. We had lunch at a very nice restaurant, which was included in the tour. We would surely recommend this tour, especially if you’re wanting to see the seashore.
Long Tan Nui Dat tour
Jack was an outstanding tour guide with a deep understanding of the history of Nui Dat and the Battle of Long Tan. His knowledge really brought the experience to life and gave great insight into such an important part of history. He spoke excellent English, making everything easy to follow, and was extremely accommodating throughout the tour. Jack is very professional and clearly passionate about what he does—highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality and informative tour.
Living history
An exceptional tour. My guide Jack has a deep knowledge of the Vietnamese people’s history, and how it culminated in the conflict. His own military history gives him and the source maps he uses gives depth and understanding to how the Long Tan battle began, and the moments that shaped the outcome. The tour included visiting various sites around the Nui Dat base, with photos from the time showing things that happened on the spot you’re standing. If you are in Vietnam, you should take this tour.
