December, 2024Parent’s first trip I arranged a tour with this group for my parents’ first visit to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. The team was also very flexible and went above and beyond to cater to my parents’ needs, ensuring they were comfortable every step of the way. They handled all transportation from start to finish, across the two cities, and everything was always on time. There were so many wonderful places to see, and my parents absolutely loved them all. I would highly recommend their services to anyone and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you for making this trip so smooth and memorable for my parents!Nimmi C1.

October, 2024Angkor wat and Kulen mountain tour Wonderful guide ! Lovely explanation , imparting knowledge to all of us ! He gave a beautiful version of mythology and heritage !Kaushik B15. October, 2024Mr. Hok - the tour guide with passion and love A guide job is a very specialized skill. Some choose tour guide as a profession just as a means to make a living. And then there are people like Mr. Hok, for who have made their passion as their livelihood. We have visited many many places, but never seen such passion in the eyes, in the voice and in the demeanor of a tour guide. My wife, daughter and I, chose to visit Cambodia this October. Our itinerary included 3 days in Siem Reap and couple of days in the Kratie island. It is a bit odd itinerary, especially for people from India, but we wanted to experience history, architecture, culture and the interiors of Cambodia at the same time. And fortunately, we had Mr. Hok as our guide for the entire duration. His main strengths are that he is a very level headed person, who never gets flustered by any situation. He will always have a smiling face and make you feel relaxed. He also has a very soft-spoken attitude. And his knowledge of Cambodian history, culture, people, mythology is phenomenal. He can tell you story after story enlightening you about his country in such a way that you will never feel bored. An extremely friendly person, who went out of his way in multiple occasions to accommodate our needs and wants. And he loves his country and its people. It shows in his eyes, in his voice. We can go on and on about him. Highly recommended to have Mr. Hok as your tour guide for whatever length your stay is. Kaushik BokshiIndia.Axel W27.

Hok Cambodia Journeys, owned and operated by the remarkable Mr. Heng Seng Hok, stands as a premier tour operator and English-speaking tour guide in Siem Reap, Angkor, Cambodia. Mr. Hok’s journey to success is nothing short of inspiring. Born in Chambok Thom Village, Sleng Commune, Chi Kreng District, Siem Reap Province Cambodia, he endured the harrowing realities of civil war from 1979 to 1998. Amidst the chaos and violence, Hok’s resilience and determination emerged as guiding lights.
Growing up in the Kampong Khleang fishing community, Hok faced unimaginable challenges. He witnessed the brutality of conflict and suffered through food shortages, relying on his resourcefulness to survive. With no government school available, he sought education from Buddhist monks at the local temple. Despite the adversities, Hok’s thirst for knowledge remained unquenchable.
A pivotal moment in Hok’s life came when he enrolled at Sotr Nikum Primary School, followed by Dam Dek High School. His dedication was evident as he worked tirelessly, even braving the darkness of night to fetch water from rice fields, overcoming his fears for the sake of survival. In 1991, he seized a golden opportunity to study in Siem Reap city, residing at Wat Preah Enkosei pagoda alongside monks and other young boys.
From Wat Preah Enkosa Junior High School to 10 January 1979 High School, Hok’s commitment to his studies never wavered. In 1997, he earned his bachelor’s degree and aspired to continue his education in Phnom Penh. Tragically, on July 29, 1998, Hok’s father fell victim to a robbery in a dense forest. Driven by a desire for closure, Hok embarked on a harrowing journey, spending days and nights with local government forces in search of his father’s body.
Following his father’s funeral, Hok made the selfless decision to pause his education and care for his mother and siblings. For four years, he supported his family through farming and fishing. However, his relentless pursuit of a better future led him back to Siem Reap city in 2002, where he began working as a tourist taxi driver. By 2007, he transitioned to becoming a local tour guide in Siem Reap Angkor, even before obtaining his official license.
In 2013, Hok’s dedication culminated in the receipt of his tour guide licenses for the Siem Reap and Phnom Penh tourism regions from the Ministry of Tourism. Since then, he has established himself as a highly qualified English-speaking tour guide, providing exceptional service to visitors from around the globe. Today, Hok is happily married with three children, and his wife’s home-based business, offering local home dinners, has become a culinary sensation.
The story of Mr. Heng Seng Hok is a powerful testament to the indomitable spirit and resilience of the human soul. His journey from adversity to success serves as an inspiration to all who have the privilege of meeting him. As you embark on your travels in Cambodia, let Hok Cambodia Journeys be your trusted companion, ensuring a peaceful and unforgettable experience in this beautiful country.
