"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 did a private VIP tour with Bunny as our guide. She was the best with knowledge about the full history of Vietnam, you can ask anything and Bunny will know the answer. She is very helpful and accommodating and fun to travel with which is important as it’s approx 2hrs travel each way. We highly recommend booking this tour with Bunny through TripAdvisor. Thanks again, Ally & Brent

We had a great trip to the Cu Chi tunnels with Matthew as our guide. He was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about the political and wartime history of Vietnam. He was also happy to answer any questions about Vietnam in general. The ride to and back from the tunnels was enjoyable in itself as it gave us a glimpse into life outside of the inner city. Thanks to both Matthew and our driver.

We booked a private tour for this trip. Our guide, Hannah, provided historical information on the Vietnam war on the car journey to the tunnels. This background knowledge was very helpful when it came to our guided tour around the various parts of the tunnels. Hannah was a brilliant guide, knowledgeable, helpful and considerate to our needs. We would recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in visiting this tourist spot.

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
