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. shrink

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.

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! shrink

The Most Enlightening 8 Hour Tour in Israel Amit’s explanation of the history of Israel and all of the other knowledge he shared was exquisite. The recent history of Israel has greatly impacted every Israeli I have spoken with; Amit shared his experiences in a professional & emphatic way. I’m a changed person from spending a day in his presence.
A meaningful trip Amit is a nursing to well informed, articulate and it was a privilege to learn from him. Mostly though his openness and willingness to share his trauma and loss was so moving and touched me deeply. I cannot recommend this experience more highly
History and personal experience of 7 Oct Amit provided a thorough history across 3000 years. It is very brave that he is willing to share his personal story and it was a privilege to hear it.
Amit Musaei-Strong Guide/Survivor We did a Gaza envelope tour with Amit Musaei. He is a strong survivor of Nova massacre. He gave a heartfelt tour of history.
A character building experience. I went on an amazing tour that isn’t listed - it included a tour of the Nova festival massacre site which was jarring - the tour guide was a survivor of the October 7th massacre and helped us understand the sheer horror of what transpired.
The Most Enlightening 8 Hour Tour in Israel Amit’s explanation of the history of Israel and all of the other knowledge he shared was exquisite. The recent history of Israel has greatly impacted every Israeli I have spoken with; Amit shared his experiences in a professional & emphatic way.
I’m a changed person from spending a day in his presence.
A meaningful trip Amit is a nursing to well informed, articulate and it was a privilege to learn from him. Mostly though his openness and willingness to share his trauma and loss was so moving and touched me deeply. I cannot recommend this experience more highly
Gaza Envelope tpur This was a very powerful emotional and meaningful trip to the Gaza envelope to pay tribute to the tragic events of October 7. Highly recommended
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.

Excellent tour of the south with Amit Amit is a great tour guide. He is very knowledgable and easy to follow. We learned so much from him and we've been on previous tours of the area. It was very impactful to visit the Nova site with him as he is a survivor and told his story while we were there.

Thank you for joining the Tel Aviv food tour! I'm glad the blend of history, culture, and architecture worked well alongside the culinary stops. Tel Aviv has such rich stories to tell, and covering that ground together while tasting the city makes for a great day. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Israel!
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.

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! shrink

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. shrink
Informative and personal Excellent tour of nova and the surrounding area from Amit who is a nova survivor. Good accurate lesson in history. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn and see with their own eyes Sederot and the grounds of the nova festival

Amit Musaei and Gaza envelope tour This was a wonderful most informative tour with a with an extremely informative, knowledgeable Tour Guide! This was probably the best tour I have ever taken.
It exceeded our expectations!!
Most highly recommend Amit and this tour!
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 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.

Tour of Gaza Envelope and Nova Festival Memorial Site Amit shares his personal experience of surviving the Nova Music Festival M@ssacre, while at the same time giving his patrons a historical perspective of the area. He is well prepared and well informed. By the end of the day, we felt like family due to his openness and warmth. Highly recommend is your want to learn the true story of October 7 and the aftermath of that day.

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. shrink
