What you'll see and do
The Battle of Long Tan
Our tour begins with an early morning departure from Ho Chi Minh City, where you'll be picked up by our knowledgeable and friendly guide at 8 am. As we drive through the picturesque countryside, our guide will provide you with valuable insights into the historical context of the Vietnam War and the significance of the Long Tan Battle. After there, proceed to the Discourtesy Rubber Plantation by driving by Horseshoe FSB (entry is prohibited due to the ongoing presence of land mines). Before going on to the Long Phuoc Tunnels, stop at the Long Tan Cross Memorial, a site of memory. The Long Phuoc Tunnels had meeting spaces, first aid stations, and fighting pits, just like other underground systems discovered in Vietnam. Our last destination on a half-day journey to Long Tan - Nui Dat is the Long Phuoc Tunnels. You will return to Ho Chi Minh City after a brief break. Visit ends at your hotel.

Nam is brilliant
We had an amazing day on the Long Tan tour. Our guide Nam was fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, informative and made the whole experience feel very personal. He took the time to explain the history and significance of each location and really brought the story of Long Tan to life. The entire day was well organised, interesting and genuinely moving. We learned so much and came away with an even greater appreciation for the Australians who served here. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam, especially Australians with an interest in our military history. A truly memorable day.

Excellent Tour for Australian History
As Australians, we really wanted to visit Long Tan and Nui Dat during our trip to Vietnam. The tour did not disappoint. Our guide Andy was knowledgeable, respectful and gave us plenty of time to look around. Visiting the former Nui Dat base was particularly interesting.

Long Tan Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget": questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Long Tan Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget" cost?
+
Prices start at $90 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 Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget" take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget" worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 51 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 Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget"?
+
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 Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget" suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Long Tan Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget"?
+
Around 18 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Long Tan Battlefield Day Tour - "Lest We Forget" 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.
