See the once beautiful life of the Gaza envelope region while bearing witness to the atrocities committed on October 7th My friends and I went to the Nova festival grounds with Amit Musai. As a licensed tour guide as well as a Nova survivor, Amit’s carefully planned tour combines the history & geography of the Gaza envelope as well as his own personal account of the early hours of October 7th. This tour is a MUST for everyone!!!!!

A tour of the south like no other Amit enabled us to get a clear picture of what happened on Oct 7th. He shared historical facts along with his own very personal story. Both woven together in a manner that allowed us to comprehend the enormity of the day in a factual manner. I highly recommend Amit.

Excepcional recorrido por la Franja de Gaza con un sobreviviente de Nova. Un día excepcional. Amit es un guía turístico muy informado que aporta su propio humor y carisma al relato de una zona que requiere muchos detalles. El tour nos llevo a miradores que muestran la proximidad de Gaza a Israel, a Sderot y, finalmente, al sitio de Nova, donde Amit compartió su propio testimonio de sobreviviente y la historia del devastador asesinato de algunos de sus amigos.
Fue un día extremadamente poderoso y emotivo. Altamente recomiendo este tour.

An exceptional tour of the Gaza Envelope from a Nova Survivor We did a Gaza Envelope Tour with Amit Musaei. There were 8 of us in a minivan. The tour was extremely well organised from the moment I contacted.Amit, with all communication done via WhatsApp and all questions answered immediately.
The day itself was exceptional. Amit is an extremely knowledgeable tour guide who brings his own humour and charisma to the telling of an area of history which requires a lot of detail. He is absolutely partisan for those who are concerned. The trip takes you to lookout points showing you the proximity of Gaza to Israel, to Sderot, to the Reim parking lot and finally to the Nova site, where Amit shared his own survivor testimony and the story of the devastating murder of three of his close friends. It was truly a privilege to listen.
Amit is careful and carrying, always checking on the wellbeing of the participants. Although we were all adults, I’m sure that he would be great with children too, especially knowing that he has three of his own!
I would highly recommend him for any tour of Israel. You would have a great day with Amit, and return full of knowledge.

5 STAR tour with Amit! Amit is a Nova Festival survivor and an amazing tour guide as well. He is easy to listen to, patient, kind and a wonderful person to take a full day tour with. We were 3 women who joined Amit’S tour for the day to visit Sderot, Kfar Azza, Nova Festival, Gaza Lookout and the burnt cars exhibit.
It’s hard to say that this was an enjoyable trip as it’s a heavy day with a lot to take in.
But Amit made it a day to remember. He is an actual survivor so he was able to give us an exact memory of his experience going to nova and escaping and getting home.
Our tour bus was clean, he told us where to stop for clean washrooms and was super pleasant the entire day.
For our next tour we will be reaching out to Amir again!

A Nova survivor willing to share his light with all of us. Amit is a survivor of the Nova massacre perpetrated by Hamas terrorists and Gaza civilians. He shared his experience of this face of evil, shared about his dear friends since childhood that were slaughtered trying to escape the rampage that left their children orphans. The tour was intensely real showing the threats upon Israelis, the close proximity of evil, their strong desire and endless attempts to commit genocide upon the nation of Israel. The tour was also inspiring highlighting a mentality of hope, love and a forward spirit of continued growth and contributions to societies everywhere. The people of Israel live.

Informative, shocking, important Amit was a great tour guide. I first had booked another tour, with the same theme, but a few other places to stop. But that didn't take place and so I got the chance to go with Amit, which was great. He's a wonderful tourguide and is doing it in a way, that makes it easy to understand and follow. He explained about history and geography, especially on the way to the first stop, and continued then to tell about the brutal cruel things that happened on October 7th and afterwards. Amit shared his personal story with us and gave us insights in what the people were and are going through. This is not only important that it will not be forgotten, but also to speak out for the victims and to stand with Israel. Thank you Amit!read moreshrink

Feel so blessed to have had the opportunity before tragedy struck the beautiful country. It was truly a unique and once in a lifetime experience that I think of often over a year and a half later. You realize how many generations, stories, people, and magical things have passed through this very important and unique little city- it’s mindblowing. It’s a densely and actioned packed day with an amazing guide who is funny, engaging, and very knowledgeable of each site visited. We didn’t know where to start in exploring Jerusalem and this tour gave us the feeling that we got a very well done overview of the major sites offered.

Emotional tour in memory and honor of the victims of the massacre of October 7! Recommended for everyone! An extraordinary tour in countries that have experienced the massacre of October 7. To hear the story of a survivor of this massacre told in the places where it happened is incredible. Visiting the Nova Festival Memorial is difficult and very emotional, but seeing what happened up close is the only way to understand even a little of what innocent people experienced on that terrible October day. Visiting the city of Sterod is also very emotional, a city with a lot of history and full of heroes. Recommended for anyone who only believes what they see in the media!read moreshrink

Amazing experience with actual October 7th Survivor! Our Tour Guide, Amit, was an actual survivor of the October 7th Massacre at Nova Music Festival. He shared his very personal experience with us - he opened his heart to us in order for us to understand the terrible atrocities that occurred on this day, to him and to others,He took us to all the relevant sites involved in October 7th, including Sderot, the Gaza Envelope, the. Car Graveyard and the Nova Music Festival site. We got to actually see Gaza over the hills and could view the rubble there. We saw ambulances, police cars and civilian vehicles burned and riddled with bullets. We stood on the site of the Nova Music Festival. We saw a shelter on a Kibbutz where several people were killed by Terrorists.
It was an amazing, emotional, heartbreaking and also heartwarming experience that was made so much more meaningful when given by someone who personally experienced it.
Do not miss this tour with Amit. We all need to bear witness to these atrocities. Amit made a “ story” into a reality for us!

Amit is equal parts knowledgable and fun, serious and silly. The first half of the tour covered important historical information about Israel’s history. The second half was Amit’s personal (horror) story from October 7. We left reflective, grateful, heartbroken, and proud. Hard to put into words something as emotionally charged as this. Don’t equivocate about booking this tour, just do it. Zero regrets.

Nova Site ? Sderot Trip Everyone needs to do this tour. Amit, is a tour guide, and a survivor, who lost dear friends. His tour takes you step by step (arrival to escape). Amit gave us amazing insight into the history of Israel! This was done while we were driving - it is about 1hour 10 to the first stop. We also got to pay our respects to his friends, there are pictures of those that lost their lives and hostages, scattered around the site. This tour is his therapy and kol hakvod to him for having the courage to go back to the site of an horrific tragedy. But each tour helps a little towards his well being. We also went to Sderot, Chabad House, and the car cemetery. I would highly recommend this tour. I am happy that I started my volunteering with the tour, it puts everything into perspective. On the drive home, you have time to reflect on what you have just seen. I felt that being at the site gave me a far better understanding of the horrific events of the October 7th massacre. You are there! You get a glimpse into what happened. I wish Amit everything of the best, and I know that his tours have grown since he started and that for me is just fantastic.

Emotional Tour to the Nova Music Festival I recently participated in the "Gaza Border Tour to Sderot and Nova Music Festival" hosted by Amit Musaei, and it was an incredibly profound experience. The tour took us through several cities affected by the tragic events of October 7th, where terrorists from Gaza brutally murdered residents of Sderot and attacked the Nova Music Festival.
Amit, a survivor of the attack, shared his personal experiences with great sensitivity and detailed knowledge. His explanations of the geopolitical landscape of Southern Israel were both informative and deeply moving. Despite the heavy subject matter, Amit skillfully injected humor and warmth, making the tour not only educational but also engaging.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to understand the complex history and contemporary issues of this region. Amit's unique perspective and expert storytelling made this a memorable and worthwhile experience.

The tour took us through several cities affected by the tragic events of October 7th, where terrorists from Gaza brutally murdered residents of Sderot and attacked the Nova Music Festival.Amit, a survivor of the attack, shared his personal experiences with great sensitivity and detailed knowledge. His explanations of the geopolitical landscape of Southern Israel were both informative and deeply moving. Despite the heavy subject matter, Amit skillfully injected humor and warmth, making the tour not only educational but also engaging.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking to understand the complex history and contemporary issues of this region. Amit's unique perspective and expert storytelling made this a memorable and worthwhile experience.

Amazing Tel Aviv tour, surprisingly interesting and excellent guide It’s not my first time in Tel Aviv, but with this tour I felt it was: our guide, Menno, showed us so many new places and shared a lot about the origins of some peculiar neighbourhoods. Tel Aviv has a lot to offer and Menno surely knows to transmit the richness of Tel Aviv history to his audience. The tour was extremely interesting. It all started with a warm welcome. I immediately felt at ease. I enjoyed walking through the different areas of Tel Aviv. The scenery was beautiful and some parts even colonial with beautiful architecture, which I didn’t expect in that particular area.
Menno, our guide, is very flexible and open for inquiries. A highly motivated guide, with a lot of knowledge and a warm personality.
It all adds up to a great experience. I had such a good time.
Many thanks again and I recommend this tour and Menno, our guide, to everyone!

Powerful opportunity to bear witness to the horrific events of October 7th with a Nova survivor. Amit gave me and my 15 year old daughter an incredible experience today. It was educational, impactful and meaningful. He tells the stories of October 7th, including his own and those of his closest friends, in such an engaging way that is powerful without being over powering. It is so important to bear witness to these horrific events and we are so appreciative that Amit made that possible for us. The stories we heard today will live in our hearts forever and we feel honored to have had the opportunity to spend the day with Amit. I have already shared his info with many people I know planning trips to Israel. Am yisrael chai!

April 24, 2023 we received a poor review from Amy
We do everything we can to avoid negative surprises. We are transparent in our communications with clients, do not hide anything that is in- or excluded on (day) tours and get great motivation out of the 1000+ of travelers that rated our services EXCELLENT.
Our day tour to Jerusalem is ranked as the best experience in Israel, if you are planning to book it please read what it is about first and do not book it just because we are the only one leaving on a decent hour.
This tour is NOT about the Zionist Miracle, as Amy expected, it is also NOT a shopping tour, we do not visit souvenir shops and it is also NOT a religious tour where we wait in line for religious sites.
Review of Amy
“The guide is not fond of Israel. He should not be in an ambassadorial position. Israel is a unique place. Find someone who can share the excitement of this complex and special country with such amazing history.”
Reply from us:
“Hi Amy, It looks like you booked the wrong tour.
We are a group of Israeli guides, with different backgrounds, that for 5 years are working to give an excellent tour and according to our 1100+ 5-stars reviews, we believe we are doing a good job.We want to clarify so others will not make your mistake and book the wrong tour: This tour is NOT an Israeli Zionist propaganda experience and nowhere do we write that. We did exactly what we promised to do; an historic tour, visiting amazing sites with a highly motivated expert guide.
We had multiple participants complaining about you, for trying to ruin the experience for both the clients and the guide, by provoking him.
We received 5-star reviews for the guide “…very good, passionate about history, very knowledgeable…” and compliments how he dealt with you.We believe your review was not fair and it’s damaging our reputation, it caused a steep drop in our ranking, and our source of income.
I hope you realize what you did and maybe want to reconsider that rating.”
