Great Guide
Hill Billy Jack was excellent, well spoken and very knowledgeable. Driver drove safely and nice car. Easy trip to and from Saigon. Good lunch stop as well! The sites don’t look exactly as they were, however the long tan memorial and the RAR plinth were excellent.

Fantastic tour with guide Hillbilly Jack
Hillbilly Jack is the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He is so knowledgeable about history and gave it in a respectful way. He also had great respect for my veteran father to tell his stories and you can tell that Jack loves to learn and listen. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to take in the area at our own pace. I cannot recommend him enough!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Jack truly pours his heart into sharing the history of the area, and hearing stories directly from veterans like your father is always a deeply moving, irreplaceable privilege. Giving guests the breathing room to reflect and explore at their own pace is exactly what we aim for. Please pass along our warmest regards and deepest respect to your father. We hope to welcome you both back again down the road! Saigon Tours Team

Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ho Chi Minh City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ho Chi Minh City is not rushed.
Is Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 191 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ho Chi Minh City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour?
+
Around 67 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ho Chi Minh City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ho Chi Minh City and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Long Tan and Nui Dat - Australian Battlefield Private Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ho Chi Minh City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
On Outty we rank every Ho Chi Minh City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cai Be Mekong Delta Tour: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages, Adventure Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Tour From HCM, Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta 1 Day Tour With Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
