The tour will start by unfolding the history of Gaza's geopolitics and the contemporary history of the conflict. Upon arrival to Sderot enjoy a coffee break and then proceed Sderot’s lookout, from which one can have the sense of the proximity to the border with Gaza, and the panoramic view of Gaza’s northern areas( Jabalia, Beit Hanoun and Gaza city) following Israel’s southern coastal plains cities: Ashdod & Ashkelon.
From the lookout a short drive through the old and new neighborhoods of Sderot as we learn about the community’s resilience and defense challenges. Stop by a unique resilience play park and Sderot’s Menorah made of “Kasam'' rockets to learn about the artillery attacks over the town and Israel.
Another short drive will bring us to the site where Sderot’s police headquarters were located and demolished. Amit will share how the Yamam(Israel’s counter terror unit) took over the building.
From here we will drive about 20 minutes towards Reim rest area, located between Kibbutz Beeri and Kibbutz Reim. This is the location where the Nova music festival was happening where the terrorist attacked and murdered 364 people. Amit will share here his story and how he survived step by step as he presents videos he recorded during the escape. You will have time to visit the temporary memorials made by family and friends of the victims.
The last site of the tour visits the bomb shelter at the entrance to Kibbutz Mefalsim, on their way to occupy the Kibbutz, the terrorist murdered every person they could, including Amit’s best friends: Adir & Shiraz Tamam, Celiene Ben-David Nagar. Amit will tell about the battle of Mefalsim and how his friends had no chance to survive the monstrous attack.
Tour to Nova Site Amit is a survivor of Nova and to have the chance to experience his personal testimony was an honour. He was a class act. Organised, on time and super informative. To hear and witness his story is something I recommend to everyone going to Israel. To visit Sederot, witness how class to the Gaza border you are and stand in Nova is a crucial part of our history and story. Thank you Amit was your bravery and openness to share. The day ended with an uplifting ending at Shuva Brothers.

Nova and Gaza Envelope trip Amit is a fantastic guide. Super passionate knowledgeable and really did his best to pack in as much value as he could. Hearing his account and walking in his foot steps appreciating his emotional and heart rendering account at Nova on 7 October was unique. I would highly recommend Amit. He is fun and interesting. The transport was superb with inbus audio video presentations made our trip all the more interesting.

Enriching, wonderful trip and tour experience We had a wonderful day tour of Old Jerusalem with our tour guide, Menno. Menno was responsive and accommodating from the time we booked our tour. Before we had even left for Israel, he messaged us to answer our questions and give suggestions for our tour as well as ideas for the rest of our trip. On the tour, we felt like we got a great overview that included all of the major sights we wanted to see in the Old City. Menno was enthusiastic, personable, and knowledgeable and did a nice job explaining the historical context for everything we were seeing. Despite what may be happening in the world, we felt very safe and thoroughly enjoyed our tour as well as the rest of our trip to Israel, which has so much history and life to offer its visitors.

A most meaningful experience; terrifically guided! Amit’s tour which encompassed 9 October massacre sites was incredibly moving and memorable. It was deeply sad, and also uplifting. Amit’s is a commensurate professional, providing a well balanced and thoughtful and meaningful experience. And of course his personal testimony added a deeply personal and unique touch. He is very generous and brave to tell his story and I was grateful to share the experience with him.

Hearing the events of October 7 from Amit, a Nova Festival survivor who experienced them firsthand was incredibly powerful and deeply moving. He shared his story with remarkable honesty, openness, and courage, answering every question with patience and authenticity.
The tour provided important context while also highlighting the resilience of the communities affected. It was an emotional and eye-opening experience that left a lasting impact. Thank you for sharing such a personal story and helping others better understand what happened. This is an experience I will never forget.

A Nova survivor’s tour of the Gaza envelope - I’m so grateful to have found this tour… I can’t imagine doing a more sensitive, meaningful tour of the Gaza envelope than the tour with Amit, a Nova survivor. From the moment the luxe van pulled up and I heard Amit scream out, “Boker tov Linda!!!” to the heartwarming “Liheetra’ot” farewell, I knew I had chosen the right tour. All stops in Sderot, Gaza overlook, the Nova site, the cars memorial, and Shuvah junction were paired with one touching story masterfully told (and somehow sprinkled with some humor). Amit was amazing and my heart broke for him, his family, his friends, and the soul crushing experience of everyone personally impacted by October 7th. I could not imagine having done this tour with anyone else. In fact my daughter (26) did a Nova tour two weeks ago and Amit’s tour and said there was no comparison.

Life Changing Jerusalem Private Tour This private tour of Jerusalem quite literally changed my life. I booked directly through the company website less than 48 hours before the tour and they responded immediately. The company owner and my incredible tour guide, Menno, came to my hotel lobby in Tel Aviv the day before and explained the full-day itinerary to me, making sure we’d go to all the sights I wanted to visit. We had a private driver, Ronny, who was wonderful, very knowledgeable and always there to pick us up at the different sights with AC and water waiting.
Menno is a local and knows so much history about all the sights in Jerusalem and all of Israel. We saw many holy sights, the highlights for me were the Mount of Olives, Hezekiah’s Tunnel (a MUST, bring your water shoes or buy them at the visitors center), the Western Wall, Temple Mount, Dome of the Rock, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, lunch in the Old City, City of David where they are actively excavating and finding new historical treasures every day! It made such a difference having Menno one-on-one to explain to me the significance of every sight we visited and the people we met along the way.
The private tour is worth every shekel because you will see and learn things you would miss out on if you book the less expensive group tours. Don’t skimp on this once in a lifetime experience! Menno also recommended things for me to do in Tel Aviv (LaLa Land, Bauhaus Center, Kabbalah Center) that made my trip even more special.
Lastly, this is an amazing time to go to Jerusalem because there are no crowds due to the geopolitical situation. However, I felt 100% safe and welcomed everywhere I went during my visit to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The people here are incredible.
Amazing Jerusalem Tours is the #1 Tour company for a reason - book them!

GAZA ENVELOPE TOUR Our tour guide, Amit Musaei, is an October 7th Nova Music Festival survivor and an experienced and licensed tour guide. Amit was our private guide for the day, and having survived the Oct 7th terror attack, Amit was able to share his account of the horrors he lived through that day, in a way that was deeply personal, meaningful, and highly informative. Through Amit's firsthand experience and knowledge as a professional tour guide, we were able to learn the details about how 1200 people were murdered and 251 were taken as hostages into Gaza by terrorists, after a surprise infiltration into many areas in the south of Israel on October 7th. The places Amit took us to witness included the city of Sderot (which is less than a mile from Gaza, and it was in Sderot where one of the fiercest battles took place lasting almost 20 hours, after 40 heavily armed Hamas terrorists tried to occupy the city and murder the civilians - the terrorists ended up murdering 53 people, while 45 rockets were fired into the city that day). Amit then drove us to the Nova Music Festival (which today is a memorial for the 378 Israelis murdered there, including some of Amit's closest friends, and from where 44 of the 251 hostages were taken into Gaza) and guided us through the memorial grounds, sharing what he experienced there step by step, and how he was able to survive. Following Sderot and Nova, Amit drove us to Kibbutz Kfar Aza (less than a mile from the Gaza Strip border, where 80 people were murdered and 19 were taken hostage by the terrorists into Gaza), and where Amit introduced us to a long-time Kibbutz resident who personally walked us through the youth wing of the Kibbutz allowing us to witness how the terrorists riddled the homes with bullets, including the Home Memorial of Sivan and Naor - a young couple who were brutally murdered inside their home and where hardly a space free of bullet holes exists on their home's ceilings and walls. Amit later drove us to witness the car wall (a pile of over 1500 burnt and damaged vehicles stacked west of Tkuma) - most taken from Route 232 and the Nova Festival massacre and all of which belonged to the people who were unable to escape because their cars were shot at, set on fire, or otherwise sabotaged by the terrorists .. the car cemetery as it's also known, remains a symbol of violence and of the great human cost of that day. Our last stop was another meaningful place: the Shuva Achim station or hub (Achim means brothers) which started off as a field hospital on October 7th; Amit explained how brothers who reside in the area recognized the need for a break for the soldiers coming in and out of Gaza, and though the vision, work and perseverance of these brothers, they turned that station into a respite or rest station for soldiers to this day. At Shuva Achim, local and foreign volunteers from all over the world, both Jewish and not, go to volunteer their time - from cooking and serving food for soldiers to providing massages, offering them a place to relax, eat, and listen to music for a short while, before they have to go out into the field again - to us this was a place of hope and humanity and a very "Israeli" (i.e. resilient) way to end our tour. On our drive from our hotel and back, Amit shared many interesting sites along the way as well as maps which helped us understand the different places where the horrific events of 10/7th took place, and the short distances between those places and Gaza. Amit we are very grateful for your generous sharing of your time and your knowledge, for everything we learned from you and the valuable experiences we had on your tour. We are happy to provide you with a 5-star and A+++ recommendation; thank you!

Israel like no other.... I’ve been traveling with Israel Unlimited – Creative Luxury Experience since 2009, and Aviv has only polished and perfected his tours with every visit. What started as an outstanding experience has evolved into something truly exceptional—seamless, creative, and luxuriously personalized from start to finish. Every detail is flawlessly executed, and we felt completely safe and wonderfully cared for the entire time. Israel is an extraordinary destination that more travelers should discover without hesitation. Its history, beauty, warmth, and energy are unmatched. If you’re considering a trip to Israel, book with Aviv and Israel Unlimited with total confidence—you won’t regret it! Highly recommended.

Don't pass on this! I went on the Gaza Envelope Tour with Nova Survivor Amit Musaei. It was insightful, moving, meaningful, informative and powerful. It was a little more expensive than some of the other tours offered but well worth the additional money to have Amit's knowledge and experience as a tour guide coupled with his first hand experience of what happened on October 7, 2023. It's a small group and is really personal.
And it ends on a positive note with a stop at Shuva Ahim.

The Perfect, Laid-Back Tel Aviv Beach Experience! If you want to experience the true, relaxed soul of the Mediterranean coast, Jerusalem Beach (Givat Aliyah / Geula area) is an absolute must-visit. Situated perfectly along the famous Tel Aviv promenade, this beach offers a slightly more chilled-out and local vibe compared to some of the busier spots further north, making it our absolute favorite place to unwind.
What We Loved About Jerusalem Beach:
The Authentic Vibe: This beach feels like the true heart of the city. It is incredibly popular with both friendly locals and travelers, creating an open, welcoming, and authentically Tel Aviv atmosphere.
Beautiful Soft Sand & Clear Water: The sand is beautifully fine and clean, and the water is fantastic for swimming. The shallow entry makes it perfect for just wading in and cooling off from the warm Israeli sun.
Excellent Amenities: We were thoroughly impressed by how well-maintained the facilities are. There are plenty of shaded areas, and you can easily rent sunbeds and umbrellas for a very reasonable price. Clean public restrooms, outdoor showers, and changing stations are all readily accessible.
The Food Scene: One of the biggest perks of Jerusalem Beach is its proximity to incredible food. You are just steps away from fantastic beachside cafes, trend-setting restaurants, and quick-bite spots where you can grab anything from a fresh, ice-cold watermelon with feta to a classic Israeli sabich.
The Highlight: Sunset Watching
You cannot leave Jerusalem Beach without staying for the sunset. Watching the sun melt directly into the Mediterranean horizon while sitting on the sand with the faint sound of acoustic music and the classic rhythm of Matkot (paddleball) in the background is a memory we will cherish forever.
Visitor Tip:
Because of its great location and popularity, it can get quite busy on weekends (Friday and Saturday). If you want a front-row spot right by the water, try to head down a little earlier in the morning!

The Gold Standard of Tel Aviv Beaches! If you are looking for the perfect beach experience in Tel Aviv, Frishman Beach is arguably the best spot on the entire coastline. Located right at the end of Frishman Street, it offers a fantastic mix of relaxation, sport, and that famous Israeli sun.
What Makes Frishman Beach Special:
The Sand and Water: The sand is incredibly fine and golden, and the beach is kept very clean. The water entry is shallow and clear, making it perfect for a refreshing swim or just wading in the Mediterranean waves.
Top-Notch Facilities: This beach is exceptionally well-equipped. There are plenty of clean public restrooms, outdoor showers, and changing rooms. We were also impressed by the abundance of sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent at very fair prices.
Fitness and Fun: For those who don't like to just sit still, there are excellent outdoor gym facilities (the famous Tel Aviv "blue" equipment) and plenty of space for a game of Matkot.
The Vibe: Frishman has a wonderfully inclusive and energetic atmosphere. You’ll see families, tourists, and locals all enjoying the day together. It feels safe, vibrant, and quintessentially Tel Aviv.
Location and Dining:
The location is unbeatable. You are steps away from some of the city's best cafes and restaurants. We loved being able to grab a fresh fruit shake or a pita nearby and bring it back to our chairs. It’s also perfectly situated on the Tayelet (promenade), making it a great starting or ending point for a seaside stroll toward Jaffa.
Pro Tip:
Frishman Beach is very popular, so if you’re visiting on a Friday or Saturday, try to arrive before 10:00 AM to snag a prime spot near the water!
Whether you want to work on your tan, play some sports, or simply watch one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, Frishman Beach is the place to be.

Wonders of Italy Tour Review – Trafalgar (11 Days) We did the Trafalgar “Wonders of Italy” (15-day) tour and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was so well organized — from airport pickup to transportation throughout the trip on a comfortable coach — which made it completely stress-free.
Our tour director and guide were both outstanding. They were knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. Our guide was with us the entire time and even helped people with things after the tour ended (like booking trains and museum tickets), which really went above and beyond.
The itinerary was busy (early mornings and full days), but we saw so much more than we ever could have on our own. There was also a great balance between included experiences and optional excursions — we did several of the optional ones and they were highlights of the trip, especially the visits to local farms and vineyards.
We were in our early 40s and a bit younger than most of the group, but everyone was wonderful and we ended up making great friends along the way.
I would absolutely recommend this tour, especially if you want to see a lot of Italy in a short amount of time without the stress of planning everything yourself.

I have only great things to say about my experience working with Jessica at Israel Unlimited. My 19-year-old daughter and her friend were evacuated from Israel today and flew from Taba to Athens this morning. While I purchased the flight tickets myself, Jessica handled all the logistics on the ground — arranging the driver and managing the border paperwork — and even helped troubleshoot questions about the tickets despite not having booked them. The driver Jessica arranged for them was excellent. He was both professional and kind, and made the girls feel very comfortable. In fact, when my daughter arrived at the Taba airport she said, “Mohamad, our tour guide…” and I replied, “You mean your driver?” That’s how attentive and helpful he was throughout the trip. I was extremely nervous about two young girls crossing into Egypt, getting to the airport, and managing all the logistics. Jessica was incredibly responsive to my many questions, explaining everything clearly and putting me at ease every step of the way. The girls made it safely to Athens without any trouble, and I am so grateful for Jessica’s help. I highly recommend this service — and especially Jessica. She is fantastic!

If you are considering hiring Yuval as a guide in Israel, stop reading this review and go book him before his schedule fills up. Yuval guided our family and friends and he was simply extraordinary. His knowledge is encyclopedic. Not just history, but archaeology, religion, theology, and the many layers that make Israel what it is. Every place we visited came alive because he could explain not only what happened there but why it mattered. What really made the experience exceptional was his intuition. Yuval has an uncanny ability to read the group. Our interests, our energy level, the weather, even the mood of the day. He knew when we should linger somewhere meaningful, when we should skip something, and when to pivot the plan entirely. He also gave us authentic experiences that we never would have found on our own. We were also lucky enough to spend time with Ofer, who works with Yuval and guided us as well. Ofer has the calmest and most good natured presence. You feel instantly at ease with him. He connects effortlessly with people and seems to know all the little secrets that make a place feel special. Yuval also made everything feel easy. He is an excellent driver, incredibly organized, and we always felt safe and taken care of. The best way I can describe it is this. Spending time with Yuval and Ofer feels like having very smart, knowledgeable, intuitive Israeli family members showing you the country they love. You will laugh with them. You will learn an enormous amount. And you will see Israel in a way that most visitors never do. Book them. You will be very glad you did.

Samen met Avner hebben we als gezin 12 dagen door Israël gereisd. Het was een heel indrukwekkende reis. Avner bezit een schat aan kennis, op historisch, geografisch en cultureel vlak. Samen met Avner hebben we het hele land gezien: van de Golan tot aan de dode zee, van Jeruzalem tot de kuststeden. We hebben de smaken van het land geproefd; hij bracht zelfs vruchten mee uit zijn eigen tuin. Tijdens ons verblijf op de kibboets leerde hij ons alles over het reilen en zeilen op deze plek.

Beautiful country. My son and I visited Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and took three tours, to Nazareth, Bethelem, Jerico and Masada - Qumram - Dead Sea. All the tours were excellent. Drivers and guide very very good and very professional. The journey to Nazareth (Moad, driver and Gabriel, guide) was fantastic. The journey to Bethelem - Jerico (Moad, same driver than before and George, guide), was also enjoyable. Unfortunately we could not enter the site of birth of Jesus, in the Church of the Nativity, as it was a Sunday and Masses were being celebrated by the denominations controlling the Church. The guide took us, nonetheless, to an adjacent grotto in the basement of the Catholic Church, where the Holy Family stayed for more than a month after the Birth which was quite an experience. The third tour took us to Masada, an extraordinary and remarkable place in the history of Israel, then to Qumran and the Dead Sea afterwards. The driver and guide were also very good. We stayed in Jerusalem four days visiting Holy Places for Christians, Jewish and Muslims (although we were not allowed to enter the Mosques, quite unfortunately), particularly the Holy Sepulchre, Via Dolorosa, Getsemani Garden and Mount of Olives, Damascus Gate, the Western Wall and the archeological tunnels and the open spaces in the Mount Esplanade (again, a pity not to be allowed to enter the Mosques). We also visited the Museum of Israel (breathtaking, extraordinary) and the Holocaust Memorial (Yad Vashem). Jerusalem is simply magical, beautiful and a place frankly worth visiting.
We enjoyed the visit to Israel and the West Bank. We wish all those living there all the best, a peaceful and respectful coexistence.
Something to improve: communication of the team while in the country with the visitor. Someone called our landline back in the UK asking for a silly thing which could have been sorted via WhatsApp or email, causing quite a stir (considering the recent events).
Another not quite pleasant thing: we had to walk with luggage from the hotel in Tel Aviv to the meeting site, more than 10 blocks away. This should have been considered, particularly given what the company charges for the services.
The transfers from and to Ben Gurion were very good.
In other words: consider visiting Israel. It is a beautiful country trying to overcome sad, terrible recent events. We also wish peace to Gaza and a swift reconstruction. Of course my opinion is just the one from a visitor who frankly wished to visit Israel. I do understand the different points of view of those living in the region.

Superb Tour Guide In July, we went to Israel and Yaron was our guide for two of our three week stay. He was an excellent guide for our family. My two sons, 11 and 13 at the time, felt very comfortable with him as did my husband and I. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and had a good sense of humor. He was always on time and helpful with carrying items, explaining what we would be experiencing, offered to take photos of us, and made sure in advance that the touring we would do met our needs and desires. He was an excellent driver, knew great places to eat, and was flexible when we wanted to change plans. Overall we were more than pleased with the service he provided and the good match he was for our family. We hope to use him again in the future!

David was on the ground throughout the trip to help with last minute switches as needed and always responded timely and with an easy attitude. The hotels were incredible and the 47 sites we saw over thw course of the 2 weeks were meaningful, historical, and entertaining to everyone!. Our tour guide Yonatan was postivitely fantastic! Our bus driver Issa was a remarkable driver navigating many difficult drives, and our security guard, while totally unnecessary in reality, provided an extra level of comfort. Our whole team (David, Yonatan, Issa and Rabie) became members of our family and we will for sure stay in touch. I could not recommend them any higher. Book now!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Yariv, who was truly the mastermind behind our entire Israel trip. From start to finish, he coordinated every detail with such care, professionalism, and heart that we were able to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
Yariv met with our family to walk us through daily agendas, hotels, restaurant reservations, and logistics, making sure everything was perfectly aligned with what we wanted. He was always available, constantly checking in to ensure things were running smoothly — and they always were.
What really sets Yariv apart is his deep knowledge of Israel and his ability to adapt on the fly. Even on rainy or unexpected days, he somehow turned everything into something beautiful, fun, and memorable. It felt like no matter what came up, he already had a thoughtful solution ready.
Thanks to Yariv, our trip was not just organized — it was seamless, special, and unforgettable. We felt completely taken care of every step of the way. If you are planning a trip to Israel, you are in the very best hands with him.
Highly recommend!

A tour not to be missed. Amit’s tour that included the Gaza Border outlooks, Nova Festival site and other areas that were targeted on Oct 7 was both informational and emotional. I went on the tour with my 16 year old son, who was tuned on and present for every minute. Thank you Amit for sharing your knowledge and your story. It will be a day that will never be forgotten and shared with everyone we know.

From the moment we met Amit over zoom we knew that we were in good hands. He was so helpful in planning and organizing the whole vacation, working with us to build an itinerary that suited our group as well as reserving hotels and restaurants. Throughout the week Amit showed us so many incredible places and constantly provided interesting stories about each location we visited. He kept our group of ten, ages 11-76 thoroughly entertained and we learned so much from him. In addition to lots of history, nature and culture, we also found time for so many fun activities like sandboarding, rappelling and food tours. Amit is a genuinely friendly and interesting person and he made us feel comfortable wherever we went. We connected easily and we enjoyed when he shared some of his own experiences and stories from his personal life in Israel. We would highly recommend using Amit as your guide wherever you go in Israel. He knows the country incredibly well and he has endless stories to share. Hopefully we will be back soon and when that happens we would love to explore other parts of the area with Amit.

Australia and New Zealand We returned two weeks ago from an unforgettable month and a half trip to Australia and New Zealand.
We're a 66-year-old couple who traveled many places around the world.
Our trip to New Zealand lasted a month and we drove across the two islands from north to south. The spaces we passed and the views we saw were breathtaking. Feeling the infinite spaces, the tranquillity and tranquillity as well as seeing the life in the small towns on the way in this remote area at the end of the world made this trip an unforgettable experience that would undoubtedly not have worked without the organized and detailed program we received from Aethert Timer – No Worries Tours.
Abiter gave us guidance and background regarding the route, adapted it to our schedule and also tailored the program to us personally. He was patient with the million questions I asked while building the program and was also available to answer.
Heavily recommend the introduction to building the plan/route/instruction for this region of the world.
I think professional guidance in building the program is essential for the success of the trip.

5-Star Tour with an Outstanding Guide in Jerusalem I recently took a private walking tour of Jerusalem’s Old City, and it was hands-down one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. Our guide, Menno, was absolutely fantastic – incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging from start to finish.
What made the tour truly exceptional was Menno’s deep expertise across history, religion, archaeology, and culture. He effortlessly wove together stories from the Bible and historical records while we walked through the Jewish Quarter, Christian Quarter, and along Mount Olive. We also visited sites like the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Temple Mount area.
Menno also paced the tour perfectly for our group, making sure we stayed comfortable. Worth every penny – book it, you won’t regret it!

A Powerful and Inspiring Experience This tour of the Gaza envelope was well organized and deeply meaningful. Our guide was very knowledgeable, providing rich historical context about Israel and explaining how the tragic events of October 7 unfolded and impacted the country. The itinerary included a thoughtful selection of sites that made the day both educational and emotionally powerful. Meeting Amit, a survivor of the Nova Festival, was the most impactful part of the experience. While the stories were heart-wrenching, I left feeling inspired by Amit’s resilience and his journey toward healing. This is a tour I highly recommend for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Israel's history and culture as well as a message of hope.

Gaza Envelope Tour Our tour of the Gaza envelope with Amit was truly extraordinary. He guided us through the events of October 7 with clarity, compassion, and deep personal insight—beginning at Sderot and concluding at the Nova Festival site and the Shuva Brothers outpost. Hearing his firsthand testimony as a Nova Festival survivor was profoundly moving, and we were honored by his openness and strength. This tour offered not only important historical context but also a powerful human perspective that we will not forget. Highly recommended.

Oded led our family, (including 2 teens) on an exceptional 9 day tour of Israel. My husband and I had been several times but it was our sons’ first time in Israel and we wanted it to be a great experience for them. It was more than great, it was fantastic and in large part to Oded. Oded’s knowledge of Israel and the Middle East and his ability to make each day come alive was extraordinary. In addition, Oded frequently suggested side stops not on the itinerary he thought we might enjoy..which we always did. In addition, he always had great food suggestions. We loved touring with Oded and are already planning our next trip with him in October. Make sure to book him early!

Tour of anywhere in Israel and the area If you’re coming to Israel and want a guide who will elevate your trip from “interesting” to life-changing, book Yuval. I’ve traveled all over the world, and I can honestly say he is one of the finest guides I’ve ever had.
We spent the day with Yuval exploring the Old City, the Gaza Envelope, and key historical and cultural sites across the region. What sets him apart isn’t just knowledge — it’s depth, clarity, and the way he connects thousands of years of history to what’s happening today. He didn’t just show us places… he helped us understand them.
Why Yuval stands out:
• Unmatched expertise: Yuval explains the history of the land with accuracy, balance, and insight. You walk away smarter — and wanting more.
• A natural storyteller: He brings the past and present to life. Nothing feels like a lecture; everything feels meaningful.
• Calm, kind, and patient: He made everyone feel comfortable, kept the pace perfect, and was constantly attentive to the group’s needs.
• Unforgettable access: Yuval took us to powerful places in the Gaza Envelope region, offered context you’ll never get from a book or museum, and helped us see the land through the eyes of someone who deeply loves it.
• Professional and organized: Seamless logistics, smart routing, thoughtful restaurant stops — everything was handled so we could simply enjoy the experience.
By the end of the day, we all agreed: Yuval doesn’t just guide you… he changes the way you see Israel.
If you’re heading to Israel — whether it’s your first time or your tenth — do yourself a favor and book Yuval. He will make your trip richer, deeper, and truly unforgettable.

A somber experience.... Such a tragedy. A very sad place to visit, but essential to understand what happened here. Unfortunately, it demonstrates the violence human beings are capable of towards others.
On the other hand, the memorials of the innocent victims who lost their lives or were injured because of hatred, live on.
Our guide was excellent and I felt safe during the entire tour. Even though I felt overwhelmed at the various sites, I am glad I went.
