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.
From Mefalsim we will drive back to Tel Aviv

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.

Entertaining and Informative Tour of Tel Aviv We took the Tel Aviv Urban food tour with Menno on November 23 and had a great time. As a guide Menno is informative and entertaining. The walking tour covered a large swath Tel Aviv and blended the history of Tel Aviv and Israel with cultural and architectural highlights.
There were frequent stops for refreshments and the tour culminated with a stop at the eclectic Carmel Market for a tasting of local cuisine.
The tour was fun and engaging and most importantly very informative of all things Tel Aviv. We also appreciated several little known sights and recommendations for future touring opportunities.
Our group had a blast and highly recommended for a first or fiftieth visit to Tel Aviv.

He’s incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and took us to places we wouldn’t have discovered on our own.

A 'must do' Tour, shedding historical insight and into the current Israel/Hamas conflict. Amit Musaei our Otef envelope Group Tour Guide was so knowledgeable about Israel's history, from the earliest times to present day. He was able to show how the present Gaza conflict fits into this history in a very easy to understand way. He provided us with historical maps and documents to further inform his talks.
He took us to many sites linked to the Hamas terrorist attacks of Oct 7th, where the evidence of the atrocities are still visible.
He spoke throughout with superb insight, latterly sharing his own traumatic Nova Survivor story.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Amit's Otef border Tour. It was a privilege to have him as our Guide.

Gaza envelope tour This was a gaza envelope tour w. The guide was a survivor of the Nova festival. He provided a well balanced informative presentation of some of the causes of the conflict and hypothesised on the reasons that palestinians may be attracted to Hamas and terrorism. He provided an account of the history of Szerot and other towns and kibbutz in the area.
Attending Szerot tower and Police station memorial was moving. The memorial is respectful and promotes peace.
Nova was also moving particularly as the guide provided his personal account. There were photos of victims and information boards. People wanted to enjoy life and were innocent victims of terror.
We visited a charity run hospitality base where soldiers could get a hot meal and a shower and supplies. It was really interesting getting the soldiers perspectives and supporting the charity to keep offering a respite to young soldiers who are risking their lives fighting terrorism.

Menno de Vries, an amazing guide I came without thinking for the first time to Jerusalem, being from Holland, when I heard that there were very few tourists. I am 68 and walk not too good, so it was an enterprise. I contacted a guide, Menno de Vries and he was just wonderful, he gave a great tour to Jerusalem, having a lot of knowledge of the history and he also arranged for me to get baptized. He filmed the baptism and later he carried my bag as usual. He also helped me to find and book a great hotel at the Via Dolorosa. I could totally rely on him for everything, good restaurants, changing money etc. but you can also learn about politics today, he is very nice to talk to. I couldn't have imagined a better guide, he was a real gift. Now I have beautiful memories of Jerusalem.

A tour that touched both heart and mind This tour by the Gaza Strip was one of the most powerful travel experiences I’ve ever had. Our guide not only taught us the complex history of Israel in a way that was engaging and educational, but he also shared something deeply personal. He told us the emotional story of his experience at the Nova Festival. Listening to him speak about this with such honesty and sorrow was incredibly moving, and it gave us a profound sense of the human reality in Israel.
At the same time, he had a witty sense of humor that kept the group laughing and engaged throughout. He managed to balance moments of heaviness with warmth, kindness, and lightheartedness, which made the experience feel both meaningful and enjoyable. He was open to all of our questions, gave us space when we needed it, and made sure we felt comfortable at every step.
This wasn’t just a tour—it was a journey of learning, reflection, and connection. It touched me deeply, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to leave with not only knowledge, but also a lasting emotional memory.

Highly recommend Israel Insider Tours Aryeh Leifert was an amazing tour guide (Israel Insider Tours). We had him for 7-8 days in June 2025, and Aryeh did the driving. The tours were fascinating from both a historical and religious perspective. He was outgoing and funny and always kept our attention. Our boys, 14 and 12, were particularly drawn to Aryeh, due to his excellent sense of humor and his great impersonations. When the 12 day war somewhat interrupted our plans, he found alternative things for us to do and learn about. This was my third time in Israel (first time for the children) and yet I learned something new every few minutes. I cannot recommend Aryeh highly enough. We will use him again the next time we visit Israel.

Amit is the Best! Amit is not only a wonderful tour guide but an amazing human being. His tour of the south and affected areas of October 7 started with a timely pickup on a Mercedes bus with A/C. I went solo and there were 7 other people on the tour.
We drove south and listened to a lot of history that Amit told clearly and knowledgeably on the way. We visited Sderot first, with a few stops to tell the history of the city and what happened there on 10/7. We then continued to the Nova site. We heard his personal testimony. We visited the site with all the damaged cars from that dark Saturday. Then we stopped at Shuva to mingle with soldiers and volunteers.
It was a very meaningful day, and I took a lot away from the tour that I did not know before. It was special to bear witness with a Nova survivor. I highly recommend touring with Amit.

Amit’s tour of southern Israel was deeply moving and unforgettable. He shared the region’s rich history with insight and care — from the kibbutzim to Sderot — but what truly set this tour apart was Amit’s personal story. As a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre, he guided us through the festival site and shared his experience with raw honesty and strength.
It was heartbreaking, powerful, and deeply human. Amit’s resilience and compassion made this more than a tour — it was a lesson in courage and connection. I feel forever changed by it. Don’t miss this experience.

Alles wat je zoekt in een gids! Het was een geweldige reis door Israël met Avner! Een energieke gids die je op een leuke manier veel van het land laat zien. Avner slaagt erin om je Israël op de best mogelijke manier te doen laten ervaren. Geschiedenis, cultuur, natuur, lekker eten... alles komt voorbij.

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.

Respectful and Meaningful Tour Amit did a good job of explaining the surroundings and discussing Oct. 7 in an informative and respectful way.
His own Oct. 7 experience was helpful in allowing us to share in the grief.

Fantastic experience! 10/10 recommend! We went to Israel for a week and spent most days touring different parts of the country with Barak - it was the highlight of our trip! From a wine tour in the Judean Hills, to the old city in Jerusalem, to Messada and the Dead Sea, each day had the perfectly curated itinerary based on exactly the type of experience we were looking for. Barak has so much knowledge about history and the country, so we learned a lot! Beyond that, we really enjoyed the daily conversations about anything and everything to/from our destinations.
I have been and will continue to recommend Barak and Alon to everyone I know going to Israel - they are the most fantastic tour guides and people!

There is No Other Tour Guide Amit is the consummate tour guide. His knowledge of history, geography and other pertinent data is expansive. His ability as a storyteller is excellent. This tour is deeply emotional and Amit is able to navigate this landscape meaningfully for both tour participants and himself. His tour is rooted in personal experience, as he is a survivor of the Nova Festival. He describes the purpose and joy of trance dancing as a community building event whose purpose is joyous and celebratory. He both shows us through his own camera footage and words how this all changed on a dime. The additional stops on the tour are very powerfully presented with impact as well. There is a phrase- Ein Eretz Aheret- we have no other homeland we want to add: there is no other tour guide for sharing this region of Israel at this moment in time. Go with Amit Musaei go!

A MUST do tour! Amit’s tour was remarkable. A MUST do tour!! His story of surviving Nova is incredibly poignant to say the least, but it is also a testament to the Israeli spirit of survival in the face of evil.

Die Tour hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen und wird durch das Erlebte unvergessen bleiben. Der Trip hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen!
Amit hat strukturiert erklärt, verständlich und in gutem Englisch.
Es war alles beinhaltet, was man für diese Tour auf den Spuren des 7. Oktober 2025 an Informationen benötigt, auch persönliche Begegnungen wie z. B. bei den Shuva Brothers.
Sehr emotionale Reise, die einen noch lange
berührt.
Schön fand ich, dass Amit seine Überlebensgeschichte beim Nova Festival erzählt hat ..sicherlich immer noch nicht einfach für ihn, aber darüber zu reden wird bei der Verarbeitung helfen.

Amit Nova shared experience of survival and healing has a wonderful knowledge of the history and current geography he has a very easy style of narrating using maps , pictures and artifacts
The tour is engaging and entertaining
That all builds to the incredible shared experience when he has the strength to recount his experience, frustration at little things that are so relatable and the awesome inner courage to be able to find a way to save himself and as many of his friends( family) that he could
Sharing his deep sorrow and struggle to be able to explain so elegantly is just amazing , standing in a place that had so many happy memories and should have always been a joy to remember
During the tour he took a small break to answer someone enquiring about the next tour , the y spoke briefly and then asking him how much , all I wanted to do is scream down the phone you can’t pay enough to experience this

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!!!!!

Wonderful tour guide, amazing tour Amit's tour was personal, meaningful and intense. I cannot recommend it enough. He is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced tour guide who also happened to attend the Nova music festival with friends. He wove in his personal story with the history of the region and the events on and since Oct. 7, 2023. I have utter respect for him and for the work he is doing.
The tour includes much more than the Nova site, which gives even more depth to the layers of tragedy.
