Excellent tour and well informed - Eliyahu was a fantastic tour guide and answered all questions I had. It was a unique experience and I will be forever grateful I had the opportunity to visit such an important part of the world. The tour was eye-opening to the reality of the Israel-Palestine conflict and definitely gave me a well informed view of the realities of the situation. A special thank you to the woman in Netiv HaAsara who welcomed us into her home and gave us her experience of living on the border.

Amazing tour - I cannot describe how valuable the tour has been for grabbing a better understanding of the region, especially in light of current events. Eliyahu was an excellent guide. It was really interesting visiting the border and hearing about it’s history.

Gaza up close and personal! - Our guide, Eliyahu, was extremely informative and impartial in his presentation of all sides. He provided an excellent and thorough history of the Gaza situation and conflict.

Learned and viewed much of Gaza challenges - Having joined Eliyahu previously on his dual narrative tour of Hebron, I had high expectations for my trip to the Gaza Boarder. Those expectations were exceeded. He did a great job of explaining, in a non-biased way, the challenges for the residents of Gaza and those in Israel on its border. Meeting with workers at the Erez Crossing and with a family in Nativ Ha'asarah were particular highlights.

Great tour - Very interesting and educational tour. Eliyahu our tour guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to show and explain things. It was great being able to speak with people from both sides of the border.

Excellent experience on the border with Gaza - An experience not to be missed for anyone who wants to understand the effects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A lot of material was sent to give us an overview of the local situation.
I recommend it to all tourists interested in geopolitics.

Gaza border tour - fantastic experience - An incredible learning experience. Eli, our guide, introduced the Gaza Border Reality Tour as a crash-course graduate-level class introducing students to the conflict; as a graduate instructor myself if I ever had the chance to pull off something like this I would be very happy indeed. There has clearly been so much work gone into the preparation of this tour, the discussion/narrative from our guide Eli was brilliant throughout. Eli in particular was fantastic - he acknowledged his own positionality/biases but clearly also put a great deal of effort into conveying other narratives beyond his own (not simply "both sides" but the spectrum of thinking within both). The opportunity to meet those living in border villages/passing through the borders was powerful and humanising. The trip/experience was also complemented by learning resources like documentary screenings, maps, timelines etc. Honourable mention to our driver Islam who was great as well - always had the bus pulled up in the right place so that the tourists could get back to the precious A/C nice and quickly!

A must for every Israel tourist who really wants to understand this country. - A must for every Israel tourist who really wants to understand this country. And you can't do that just by sitting on the beach in Tel Aviv. Thanks to this tour, the Gaza Strip, or at least what happens around it, finally has something real. I was born at the end of the 90s, and as a child I often didn't understand why there were always reports about the Gaza Strip. Now everything is a bit more tangible. Also a big thank you to the tour guide, who also gave a deep insight into the land of Israel through his own life journey.

Excellent, engaging tour of the Gaza border - I've been to 22 countries this year and this was the best tour of the many I've taken. Informative, thoughtful, balanced, and well-designed, even on a hot day, all of us were asking questions through the very end. Majid was a great driver (and shared some chocolate with me at the end of the day when everyone else was sleeping on the ride back). Eliyahu is knowledgable, super open to all kinds of questions, and encouraged us to think for ourselves. We had the chance to meet people from Gaza, Israelis who live close to the border, and eat at a kibbutz. Eliyahu made a complex topic more complex (in a good way), but his consistent reminder to remember the human beings impacted was a North Star for how to think about what we do from here.
