Captain Tuan was excellent and his knowledge of Long Tan, NuiDat and surrounding areas was exceptional. Tuan also documented his tour by recording photos for us along the way. Thanks Tuan and driver Kim, a very enjoyable day. Kim and Sue. Perth, WA.

We had a truly memorable experience on the Long Tan tour, thanks to our exceptional guide, Tuan. From the beginning, he made us feel completely at ease. His English was excellent, and he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Long Tan and Vietnam more broadly. What made the day even better was his relaxed, down-to-earth nature and great sense of humour.
As older travellers in our 70s, we especially appreciated how considerate Tuan was. He was mindful of regular toilet and coffee stops, and always offered a helping hand getting in and out of the car. At each site, he made sure the pace was manageable and the terrain easy to navigate. When we visited a tunnel, he was very attentive — reminding us to watch our heads and take our time, ensuring we felt safe and comfortable throughout.
Beyond the war history, Tuan shared fascinating insights into local vegetation, regional industries, and everyday life in Vietnam today. He welcomed all our questions and answered them with honesty, warmth, and a genuine passion for his country.
This tour was respectful, informative, and deeply engaging — an absolute highlight of our visit. If you’re considering this tour, do it — and ask for Tuan. You’ll be in the best of hands.
