"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.

5.00Wow!!! What an incredible experience 👏🏽 Right from the beginning we were totally encapsulated by Bunny 💖 our tour guide. She was so articulate at telling us the history of Vietnam right from the beginning to the end on our drive to the Cu Chi tunnels. We were guided with such expertise, enthusiasm, knowledge and humour by Bunny throughout our tour. We were able to choose if we wanted to walk in longer or shorter tunnels, we had plenty of water provided, the little food treat was amazing too! Our taxi driver was fantastic, and I just couldn’t recommend it enough. Bunny you are an amazing story teller and thank you making our trip so memorable for me and my family 😍😍
Do not miss out on this opportunity to experience
