Long Tân is a village in Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu Province, Việt Nam, at latitude 10°31′ N, and longitude 107°16′ E. When it was part of a separate South Việt Nam, it was in Phước Tuy province. It is renowned for its rubber plantations and hosts a very small population of roughly 1,200 people. This itinerary is designed for Australian and New Zealand veterans and their relatives and friends, and for visitors interested in the battle sites where those countries’ soldiers fought and died. The focus will be on the sights – and wherever possible, we bring past combatants together in a spirit of reconciliation.

Half day tour.

We arrived far too early, Vinh saw us and gave some advice on coffee and markets to kill some time. Then when we came back offered a cool room cool water and an informative, friendly chat. He was also our tour guide. Very informative and friendly, he knew his stuff, and any extra questions too. The tour was interesting but I recommend finding more time in the war memorial, to see it all would be several hours. If you are booking a tour, request Vinh, the others may be good, he definitely is. Vince.
