Udi the guide made the emotional tour deeply meaningful. He is so knowledgeable and balanced the heaviness of the day with levity. He was friendly and very open to questions and discussions.
An all encompassing tour of a post 7 October society in the healing Southern Israel

Informative, peaceful and amazing. Cool minibus, experienced and knowledgeable tour guide - Benny. An efficient and effective tour where a lot is covered in the south of Israel re: the horrific October 7th massacre: Gaza lookouts, various kibbutzim, Nova Festival and vehicle graveyard. Would highly recommend - a mixture of exploring life in kibbutzim in South of Israel with the striking context and influence of a post 7 October society.

My husband and I went on this tour with Benny! This was an extremely important and eye opening trip. The tour company created a WhatsApp group with all the participants so it'd be easier for all of us to communicate and ask any questions we may have a day before the tour! Benny was incredible. He was very friendly, knowledgable and had a quick response time. He always followed up after every stop to see how we were doing which we really appreciated. He would show us videos relating to each stop so we can easily grasp what happened and the progression of October 7th. I highly recommend Benny and this tour! Thank you Benny!!

I had a wonderful experience learning about what happened on Oct 7, 2023 at the Gaza Envelope. Beni was an excellent tour guide. He wasn't only very knowledgeable on the history of the region and what took place prior to and on Oct 7 but also planned out the tour very well. Given information about what took place, together with videos showing real clips from Oct 7, being there at many important sites and seeing some aftermath remains were surreal, heartfelt and powerful. I felt like I was taken back to be in that location on that date with well done tour by Beni. I would highly recommend this tour for those interested. Have you admit that there were more than a few moments that were so powerful that I have to look away for a second so not to cry.
An important and meaningful tour
