Guides and driver were excellent, very informative with history of Long Tan and Nui Dat. Long Tan memorial was very special and peaceful and tunnel system at Rememberance Temple was eye opening. Over time known historical spots including helicopter pad, bunkers and airstrip have gradually disappeared and only for photos that the guide provided along with their great knowledge were able to paint a picture for us.
