Hi there! Nice to meet you

Jecky

Xin chào!

Hi, I’m Jecky – a passionate local guide born and raised in the vibrant city of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam.

Since 2014, I’ve been proudly sharing the beauty of my country with travelers from around the world as a licensed international tour guide. I speak English fluently and a little Chinese, and I specialize in cultural and historical journeys, food adventures, hidden city walks, photo tours, and immersive local experiences across Vietnam.

What I love most about being a tour guide is the chance to meet amazing people from different cultures, learn from them, and guide them with all my heart – always striving to give them the most authentic and unforgettable experience in Vietnam.

My guests often tell me they remember me for my captivating storytelling, photography tips, and the local secrets I share – places and perspectives that 90% of standard tours never reach. Whether you're wandering through a lively market or discovering a quiet alley rich in history, I’ll show you the Vietnam only locals know.

With a tour style that’s warm, flexible, and thoughtfully organized, I do my best to create personalized journeys filled with laughter, great photos, meaningful insights, and delicious food.

Guests often describe me as:

attentive, flexible, well-organized, a great storyteller, an excellent photographer, and someone with very good English.

✨ My message to you:

Vietnam is a beautiful country with incredible food, kind-hearted people, and stories waiting to be discovered. I can’t wait to show you a side of Vietnam you’ll never forget.

Our day exploring the Mekong Delta with Jecky was outstanding. Jecky made every effort to cater to our interest in local culture and experience the destination with a sense of adventure and fun. He put together an itinerary that meant we avoided crowds - nicely paced yet packed with activities to excite the senses. Jecky hit the perfect balance between sharing stories, jokes and interesting insights into the region's history and heritage while allowing moments of quiet contemplation - a winning combination. Thank you Jecky and to all those who helped make it a truly memorable day.A great day exploring the Mekong Delta

Jecky was great, very personable and knowledgeable however our plan did not work due to bad traffic. A great pity because the plan was very interesting and responsive to our needs and desires. We would engage Jecky again Great plan caught out by the traffic.

I recently had the pleasure of taking a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Jecky, made the whole journey exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the history, culture, and daily life of the Mekong Delta. His friendly manner instantly put us at ease, and he was always eager to help, making sure we got the most out of every stop. Not only was Jecky informative, but he also has a great eye for photography! Throughout the day, he took amazing photos, capturing beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. His willingness to go above and beyond really stood out, as he ensured our comfort and enjoyment at every step of the tour. The Mekong Delta itself was absolutely stunning—peaceful, picturesque, and full of character. It was one of the best tours we’ve had, thanks in large part to Jecky’s wonderful guidance. Highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting HCMC!Amazing Mekong Delta with the Fab Jecky

We really enjoyed our tour with Jecky, lots of interesting things to see and good conversation about the various buildings, monuments and history of Vietnam. I think the War Remnants Museum needs longer time to visit so for us, it was too short when incorporated into this tour. Thank you, Jecky, really nice to meet you. Interesting conversations about Vietnam

Jecky guided us by public coach to "China Town" in Ho Chi Minh. He was prompt in time waiting for us and asked if we had special wishes. We are not the youngest people anymore so we told him not to long walks. He showed us interesting pagoda's and wanted to bring us to the flowermarket what we didn't do because we were very tired and were not yet used to the high temperatures. Jecky was kind, flexible and patient. Thank you JeckyKind, flexible and patient
