"Strategies to Avoid the Crowds at Cu Chi Tunnels"
- We recommend starting early.
- The Cu Chi Tunnels attract visitors daily, becoming particularly congested on weekends and Vietnamese holidays. It's not uncommon to find long lines at every stop, making for a packed experience on any given day.
- A half-day usually suffices. Aim to reach the tunnels either before 8:30 AM or around 2:30 PM. By this time, the morning queues have dwindled, and the afternoon temperature is more pleasant.

5.00The visit to the Cu Chi tunnels is educational and something that our three kids really enjoyed. Max was an enthusiastic, helpful guide. He helped us carry our 3 year old a few times and coached them through the long tunnels. They loved the experience!

5.00Very impressive site. The tour guide Jen knew a lot to tell in a pleasant way, she sensed our need exactly. All freedom to fill in where we wanted to stay long or short because it is a private tour, nice van with good driver.
Fantastic tour. Bunny...
