A very interesting tour

JULIE_W, Apr 2026
Our tour guide Jack was very knowledgable and friendly. He catered to our specific interests in the area and offered exceptional service.

Put it on your list!

Hillbilly Jack was a great guide and shared lots of Vietnam history on the trip there. A somber and sobering experience at Long Tan. Delicious lunch on the way home. Fantastic tour, highly recommend.

Great Tour

William_A, Mar 2026
You need to bring a little bit of imagination and ideally some background knowledge to bring this one to life. However our tour guide, HillBilly Jack (yes), was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic he would have kept anyone interested. He brought laminated photographs of the areas from 2966 so it was easy to compare and contrast the sites as they are today. A really poignant few moments were taken at the cross, as well as a chance to lay a flower which was a really nice touch from the guide.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi William, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. You’re absolutely right — having a bit of imagination and background really helps bring Long Tan to life, and we’re so glad that HillBilly Jack made that experience even more meaningful for you. His passion, knowledge, and the way he uses historical photos to connect past and present are exactly what we aim to deliver on every tour. It’s especially touching to hear that the moment at the Long Tan Cross stood out to you. That quiet time for reflection, along with the opportunity to lay a flower, is something we believe adds a deeply personal connection to the history. We truly appreciate you choosing to tour with us and hope to welcome you again on another journey in Vietnam. Warm regards, Saigon Tours Team

Very interesting tour & very honoured to be able visit sites where our Aussies were.

Cherie_C, Jan 2026
Very interesting tour with our tour guide Hill Billy Jack. Jack had put much effort in researching the history of the area. Used photos to show what it would have looked like in War Time.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

We’re delighted you found the tour interesting! Providing a deep dive into the history is our goal, and Hillbilly Jack’s use of photos is a key part of how we tell that story. Thank you for recognizing the effort that goes into our research—it was a pleasure hosting you

If you’re interested in Long Tan - book Jack.

Kelly_C, Jan 2026
Jack is a fantastic tour guide. He has worked hard to better understand the visitors needs and shared his deep knowledge of historical events. We visited all the sites that Australians and NZs would want to see. We enjoyed Jacks sene of humour and Aussie references.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hi Kelly, We truly appreciate your feedback!

Respectful reflection on an Important Australian piece of history

Greg_E, Sep 2025
This tour was very interesting and puts the history in perspective. I had seen the movie and visit and chat with Vietnam vets in Greenslopes hospital but actually visiting the site where it all happened, what an experience. The tour guide “dingo” does it very respectfully.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Greg, Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a wonderful 5* review on TripAdvisor and for sharing your positive comments with other travelers.

We hope to welcome you back on any return visits to our lovely country in the future. Kind regards, Saigon Team.

Not what I hoped for

Jenny_E, Apr 2025
It’s advertised as the Australian base but really not worth the money I paid. Guide kept giving me books to look at. Referring to a map. Tunnels were ok. Very disappointing to pay for a personal tour only to have him double book.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hello Jenny, Thank you very much for sharing the experience you had with us! We are sorry to hear that the trip did not meet your expectation, the comment has encouraged us to perform better. This tour is suitable for those who interested in the history of the Vietnam War, which was participated by the Australian army. Long Tan used to be a battlefield, but now it has been renovated for the use of people's lives so the sights could be in memories and images.

A moving tour

DougC, Oct 2024
Our guide Chien was most knowledgeable as had first hand family experience of events. Most appreciative of Australian forces and even provided flag service and laying of flower wreath for remembrance.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

We will make our best efforts to raising awareness of this tour so that the rich history of the area remains alive in the hearts of many.

Excellent tour with Dingo!

Sophie_A, Jul 2024
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.
