"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.

We went to the Chu Chi tunnels with Emily. Emily gave us a lot of interesting information on the ride and in front. Her easygoing and friendly nature was equally great. Would immediately do a tour with her again:)

We thoroughly enjoyed our half day (6hr) visit to Cu Chi tunnels including our very efficient and punctual driver and our tour guide Ni. She was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of the site and the history behind the tunnels. Ni was also happy to answer lots of other general Saigon questions and provide more information. T&V Western Australia
