‘Ways to Bypass Crowds at Cu Chi Tunnels’
- An early start is our suggestion.
- The Cu Chi Tunnels pull in sightseers each day, becoming excessively crowded on weekends and Vietnamese festive days. Expect long queues at every turn, resulting in a cramped experience at any given time.
- Half a day is usually enough. Plan to arrive at the tunnels either prior to 8:30 AM or closer to 2:30 PM. By these hours, the morning rush has subsided and the afternoon weather is more agreeable.

Had an amazing time touring with Mai! - She was an excellent guide, both entertaining and informative.
We were picked up directly from our hotel by the tour bus, which took us to Handicap Village, where we got to try shooting AK47s, and then through the narrow tunnels of Cu Chi.
It was a fantastic day well spent!

Highly recommended! - Really enjoyable day with Mai. She was friendly engaging and knowledgeable. Very interesting to learn about the guerilla warfare tactics used. Some of it not for the fainthearted! We also had a wideranging discussion about the culture and lifestyle in Vietnam in general. Highly recommend! Thankyou to Mai and our driver.

Great trip to Cu Chi Tunnels - My wife and I had a great time and a very interesting private tour led by Bin. He is very knowledgeable on Vietnamese history and politics and was happy to answer all my questions. It was also great to have the option to visit one of the quieter and less busy parts of the tunnels (a little further away but well worth it to get away from the crowds).

Let's add some gratitude to our mindset. - Jenny, our guide, really kept us engaged. Despite the hot weather and pesky mosquitoes in the tunnels, the whole experience was totally worth it. It's humbling to realize that my complaints about a little heat and mosquitoes pale in comparison to the historical significance and importance of the tour. Let's not take these moments for granted.

Morning Well Spent - A fascinating and confronting trip to the world’s longest tunnel system, 250km all dug by hand between 1948 and 1975 to hide from the French and then the Americans.
A real insight into the resourcefulness and bravery of a Vietnamese population fighting for their independence - and a timely reminder of the inhumanity of war.
Thank you, Kevin, for sharing all your knowledge and making it such an interesting experience.

Great guide - Got picked up from hotel right on time. It’s busy getting out of Saigon. The guide spoke good English and it would be rude to say he had an annoying accent as his English is better than most peoples Vietnamese. Would recommend.

Incredibly interesting tour of the tunnels with a great guide - A incredibly interesting morning spent exploring the tunnels and finding out about their history and of the people who built and used them during the war. Jen, our guide, was very knowledgeable and just a lovely person. Would definitely recommend this tour… and ask for Jen!

Wow, this tour was amazing - full of surprises and so well-planned! - Honestly, I'm usually unsure about organized tours, but right from the start of this one, I could tell it was going to be fantastic. Jenny, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us laughing the whole time, which was much needed on such a jam-packed day exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. It really enhanced my experience in Saigon. I can't recommend it enough!

Experiencing history firsthand at the Cu Chi tunnels was truly unforgettable. - Our guide, Jenny, brought the Vietnam War era to life with her enthusiasm and knowledge. As she led us through the tunnels and showcased the remnants of old military equipment, her lively personality kept us captivated. Her passion left a lasting impact, making us eager to revisit the Cu Chi tunnels in the future.

Mai is the BEST tour guide ask for her!!! - Mai was A+ tour guide she had great instincts and saw me loving your and our teens just thinking “you seen one tunnel you’ve seen them all!” So she gave us an express tour which suited us kids got involved and really enjoyed the day. Mai is so knowledgeable and told great interesting stories keeping us all entertained. I’d totally recommend Mai if you want culture in your holiday and to keep the teenagers off TikTok!! Was great value for money the bus really is the luxury one from photos!!!!
