- 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.

Excellent half day trip

5.00This was an excellent half day trip to the cu chi tunnels. We were picked up in a private car from our hotel by our guide Toan and driver Vin. The vehicle was very comfortable and cool. There is a rest stop along the way with good facilities. You also get a quick tour of a place where lacquer art is made. The guided tour at the tunnels was great, didn't feel rushed. You can crawl through a tunnel if you like. Our guide Toan was very informative and our driver Vin was super professional. Highly recommend this trip if you have a tight schedule and don't want to come back late. Felt like a VIP with our own guide and not with a large group.
FANTASTIC tour - highly recommend

5.00The firm, Indochina Heritage Travel, communicated promptly and helpfully before our tour. Our tour guide, Maximilian, was warm, friendly, very informative, and helpful. The driver, whose name I've unfortunately forgotten, was excellent, very patient, focused and careful. Between us, this was the third time my sister and I have toured the Cu Chi Tunnels. We received more information and history from Maximillian than we did on the earlier trips combined. I highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour
