Private tour Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield Tour from Ho Chi Minh City
The most rewarding tour I've ever been on. Our 1st stop was an orphanage in Ba Rai, the staff are so amazing looking after about 30 children, they were so happy enjoying bags of soccer ball and hoola hoops we took as gifts. The Long Tan memorial was made special by our guide Yen from Viator. His knowledge of the Vietnam war was incredible and played the national anthem so we could pay our respect.

Good day out - Nu Dat and Long Tan
We had a great day out with our guide and river. Visited several important sites including Nui Dat, Long Tan and The Horseshoe. The guide and driver were polite and careful. The guide was very knowledgable and provided additional background information on the events and activiies at each site. Very happy with our private tour and would recomend to others.

Very informative.
Yen was our guide for the day and was very helpful throughout the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. A highlight of the tour was visiting the orphanage and being able to bring the children some milk, food and some candy.. we really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anybody who is interested in Vietnam's history. Thankyou Yen.
Response from the operator: Hi Matty E, We truly appreciate your kindness. A small gift can create a great thing. Thank you very much for joining our tour and leaving such nice support. This rate is also the motivation for our whole team. It is very nice to receive it from you. Further, we hope to bring you more happy holidays when you come back to our country next time. Best, TNK Travel team

Absolutely brilliant tour. No time...
<p>Absolutely brilliant tour. No time wasting with souvenir shops. Our guide was very informative and was able to show pictures from during the war and current day so you could visualise where everyone was. Our guide even had the forethought to pickup flowers for us to lay at Long Tan Cross.</p>

Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ho Chi Minh City.
How much does Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City cost?
+
Prices start at $132 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 Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City?
+
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 Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Long Tan Nui Dat Battlefield from Ho Chi Minh City 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.
