Ho Chi Minh City tour overview

Why this trip

  • A day south east of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) at the sites of the Australian war in Vietnam.
  • The Long Tan Cross, where Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought in a rubber plantation in August 1966.
  • The Long Phuoc tunnels, a quieter and less visited network than Cu Chi.
  • Your own guide, who can go into as much detail as you want.

An honest note: the Long Tan site itself is a cross in a field, and it means most to people who come with the history in mind. Travellers looking for sightseeing may find it quiet.
