      \"\"<\/a><\/b>Who should visit the Cu Chi tunnels?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Many people asking me : my father have back problem, can he join the tour? Is it safe for my kids? I can not stay too long in the tunnels, can i join, is it safe for me?\u2026.<\/p>\n

      Here is the answer:\u00a0everyone can join the Cu chi tunnels half day tour with Saigon Adventure.\u00a0Regarding the tunnel crawling experience, it is actually only 100m to 150m in length. Every 30m, there is an exit, so you can stop crawling every 30m. The total time spent crawling is only 2-10 minutes, depending on the length of the tunnel you choose to crawl.<\/p>\n

      For those who do not want to crawl through the tunnels, you can walk above ground with the guerrilla soldiers assigned here to guide and assist you to the end point of the tunnel section. You will meet the others here (it only takes 2-3 minutes to walk). You will still experience the full Cu Chi tunnels tour, just skipping the 2-10 minute tunnel crawling part.<\/p>\n

      \u201cTips to beat the crowds\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Cu Chi Tunnels is always very busy and often crowded every day of the week! The crowds increase weekend and during Vietnam\u2019s holiday periods and weekend. There can be long morning-queues at every stops with overcrowding on any day you visit.<\/p>\n

      Here are our tips for enjoying this tour\u00a0with us:<\/p>\n

      For Private Tour\u00a0:\u00a0<\/b>we make an early start ( at 7:30 AM or 7:45 AM ) to arrive at the tunnel before the long unruly queues that build-up with the arrival of the large group tours. Finish your day mid-afternoon means you miss homewards rush too. This is important advice for families traveling with elders and young children ( you will be back to the city on time for lunch). Or you can depart at 10:00 AM to avoid big crowds.<\/p>\n
