This is a gorgeous place, especially now, in the spring. The nature is wonderful, the territory of the park is very well-groomed. After the president's escape, people stayed here to look after and take care of the place. The house inside is completely different, made with bad taste, in the royal style. Seems like the person had problems with his ego. The tour is good, the guide is very knowledgeable about the current situation in Ukraine. So come here in good weather and enjoy your walk! P.S. to get inside the retro car museum you need to take a golf cart, it’s extra experiences.

A well-organized one-day tour that exceeded all my expectations. Guides Dmytro and Denys know their job 200%, so the trip went without any stress and was filled with a lot of interesting information. If you are interested in the history of the Chornobyl disaster, you will definitely like the tour from Chornobyl Tour.
