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

Highly recommended One of the best tours I've ever taken (Gaza Envelope). Deeply moving, insightful and meaningful. Essential for understanding the history and current situation in Israel.

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.

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.

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!

Great experience in Tel Aviv We joined the "Tel Aviv's Old Neighborhoods" tour and absolutely loved it.

Gaza Envelope Tour Amit took us on a tour to the south to to the sites of the atrocities of the 7. October. If you want an unbiased view on the events and a personal story than this tour is for you. Amit is a great storyteller and doesn't just drop you and says here take pictures and lets go.
He intertwines the events into an story wirh great depth and insight.
Gaza Envelope Tour If you want an in depth and provocative tour from an expert describing his personal experience during the October 7 terrorists massacre, then I strongly recommend Amit Musaei’s tour or the Gaza envelope. While shocking, there are many points that point to hope in this conflicted land.
Amit was excellent Amit tours was great. He was knowledgeable and I would take a tour with him anywhere. He guenuly took his time and made sure we getting all the information
BEST TOUR GUIDE EVERRRR Amit was our tour guide and let's just say it was a tour we will never forget. He is so knowledgeable, warm, funny and shared a lot about his own personal experiences, living in Israel. We will never forget Amit and when we come back to Israel next year, we will definitely be doing another tour with him!
Menno is an experienced guide with a lot of knowledge Menno has shown us the entire ancient city of Jerusalem, from the Mount of Olives and Gethsemane to the city and the tomb of David, the tomb church and all Catholic pomp. While walking, he tells about the history of the Jewish people in a clear timeline, but also about current events. If you are Dutch and want to get to know Jerusalem, you can't ignore Menno.

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. shrink

Incredible personal tour of Hope Amazing special day down south around the Nova Festival Memorial site
I learnt so much and heard Amit share his own personal experience as a survivor. It was a tour of hope and I loved everything about it
The tour for memory for life Great experience with a great guide. Menno knew almost everything to tell us, did not hesitate to look behind open doors, is open to conversation. Recommended for anyone who wants just a little more than the standard trip.

Such a personal, well thought out, journey - carefully curated for understanding the scale and geography of the 10/7 massacre, the challenge of the immediate response of local communities and gentle, gradual exposure to the horrors —- all the while simultaneously infusing the story with the incredible resilience and bravery of so many and instilling hope for the future. Amit bares his heart & personal tragedy in the most generous and sensitive way. An opportunity of a lifetime to learn and support Israel without feeling like a voyeur. Amit is a very thoughtful and gifted guide. shrink
Walking the Gaza Envelope with Amit — Courage and Truth I joined Amit for a tour of the Gaza envelope and will never forget it. Hearing the story from a survivor, standing in the very places marked by October 7, was heartbreaking and powerful. Amit guided us with such care — I never felt in danger, only deeply moved. His courage and honesty gave me a new understanding of Israel’s reality and resilience.
Great Amit has extensive knowledge of the places he guides. Patient and with a sense of humor, he delivers a great experience to the entire group.

This is a moving and unforgettable trip and essential for anyone who wants to bear witness to the atrocities of Oct 7. shrink
10/10 nova tour with survivor Amit was absolutely phenomenal. He is a brilliant tour guide full of knowledge, stories and insight. Seeing the Nova sight through his eyes - a member of the trance community and survivor- is something I will never ever ever forget. I highly highly implore everyone to go with him.
One to remember Menno is a very knowledgeable guide and super friendly. Gave us a real experience to remember. Highly recommend booqify and visiting Jerusalem

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. shrink
Important and heartbreaking I participated in the Gaza Envelope tour with Nova survivor Amit.
Amit is an excellent tour guide and it was an extraordinarily moving tour. Very emotional and difficult to hear the tragic stories and events of that day. But also very important to attend.
I highly recommend this tour with Amit.

I can not recommend Amit Musaei and his tour more for those wanting to learn more about October 7th and the history of what brought us there and to where we are now. He kept us safe, comfortable and well informed. If you google his name he will pop up for you on all sorts of platforms to allow you to connect and book in. Thank you Amit shrink
