Reviews
It was really great. I travelled alone but it feels like I really am part of the whole group. Everybody is great and it was fun.
The itinerary is compact and full with detailed explanations, but there can be more interaction with the place!
Overall the tour was good. My only complaint was that the bus driver did not turn on the heater on the way back to Kiev. All of the passengers were wearing all their winter jackets, gloves, and hats in the bus. It was freezing in the bus. Other than that, I have to commend the guide who was very knowledgeable. She bent the rules a little and allowed us into the abandoned buildings (although this is strictly speaking now allowed).
Very good😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
wonderful trip! must not miss it
Our guides explained thoroughly about the places we have been. You can bring your own lunch and got it in the morning when it stopped by the gas station. 200uah extra for radiation detector and 170uah extra for lunch
An amazing day. The minibus was comfortable and left precisely in time. The guide was very informative and knowledgable. The tour was well-structured and let us see many different things in Chernobyl, Pripyat and beyond. I would heartily recommend this tour, especially as it was quite a bit cheaper than with any other tour operator.
Seeing those scenes of fatal disasters made me sad and emotional. Yet worth visiting the site as you would know more that had happened there in 1984.
Great experience with a great guide! Was sad and impressive at the same time. Maybe a bit too much in a ruah in some location and I may suggest some kind of whistle to group people up and not lose too much time looking for them. In general, anyway, very organised and well done.
Very good day tour to Chernobyl. Very informative and meaningful.
Good to know
