Top notch guide. Knowledge and resources bought the past and present together. Told there was nothing to see at Nui Dat. WRONG! Nam able to show me bunkers, flagpole, airforce runway and other features highlighted in old photos.

Jack was a great guide who made sure we saw all of the places we wanted to. Jack’s English was really great and he had a strong knowledge of the war history and was also great at sharing everything we needed to know about the Vietnamese culture. He is clearly passionate about his job and came prepared with lots of information to make sure we got the most out of the day. We had a lovely lunch which again Jack helped us with all the cuisine.

Our guide, Nam had an excellent understanding of the history and geographical locations. We were taken care of very well and left the experience with a much greater understanding of the battle and day to day life of the soldiers.

Thank you Saigon Tours to arrange our poignant trip to Long Tan with Nam. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and polite. We plan to come there again and again. We will again request Nam to accompany with us. Thank you, Saigon Tours and Nam very much. We would strongly recommend this tour.
