"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.

5.00This was one of the best cultural experiences ever. Our guide Jen was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. This small private tour is the way to go instead of the big group tours. Could not recommend highly enough!
A unforgettable experience!

5.00Our guide Bunny gave us a great summary of Vietnamese conflicts on the bus journey to the tunnels. She was very engaging and informative. The tunnel site was really well set out and the whole experience brought the American war to life for us. Great guide and great visit.
Excellent Experience
