Excellent guide, very knowledgable. Empathetic to all sides involved in the Vietnam war. We enjoyed this experience very much. We took a 2hr drive to the battlefield site and the memorial cross. We enjoyed a local Vietnamese lunch.

As part of a European tour we returned home via Vietnam and we had decided on doing a tour of Long Tan. Our tour guide was Nam who had everything organised. He took his time with explaining everything which included detailed maps and photographs. He has put a lot of time and effort in learning and gathering the details of this part of our history and was able explain it in an excellent manner. Highly recommended. Well done Nam. I am more than happy to recommend you.

We did a tour with Nam as our guide.
Nam showed us details of Long Tan and Dui Nat that he was a passed on by 6 ANZAC veterans some 15 years ago. A great honour and privilege.
We’ve now done lots of war tours around the world and this touch showed us a very different side.
Very informative, spoke great English and added that special Aussie touch to the tour.

My tour guide was Nam. This was the most emotional tour I've ever had the privilege to be taken on. Nam showed my group things I didn't know existed. If you ever have the opportunity as an Australian to go and pay your respects to the young men that gave their ultimate sacrifice for our country.....please allow Nam to take you. Thankyou Nam for passing on the knowledge you've gained about so many brave young men.

With the help of our guide Nam, we traveled to Long Tan-Nui Dat and Vang Tau from Saigon. Nam was a legend who was extremely knowledgeable and enlightening. Without a knowledgeable and reliable tour guide like Nam, you would not be able to identify former Australian military locations like the Australian/New Zealand army base that provided crucial support during the Battle of Long Tan, which was off the beaten path and practically overgrown. Overall, the tour was really touching and something that every Australian with a passion for the Vietnam War should go see. Delicious added bonus was the lunch in Vang Tau. If we could, we would rate Scooter Saigon Tours and our tour guide Nam, as higher than 5 stars.

An an Australian ex-serviceman (Navy) this was an important tour for me to go on. I thought I had a good understanding of the battle, but I was very wrong. I was unaware of the many things that happened prior to the battle and why it occurred. Mr Nam and Mr Si picked me up and drove the two hours to the battlefield. We went to the tunnel system which I did not know was connected to the battle. Then to a village to buy flowers for the memorial. Afterwards to Horseshoe FSB which again was connected and was a precursor. Then off to the memorial and little of the battlefield remains. The memorial is intact but it is a shame it’s not signposted anymore.
Mr Nan’s passion to keep the story going is a testament to his appreciation of this ANZAC story.
I am truly blessed to be able to go today and urge all military enthusiasts to make the journey to see where 108 Australian diggers pushed back a force of an estimated 2500 regular soldiers. The ANZAC legend is alive because of people like Mr Nam.
