You have lots of options for tour companies to chernobyl but this is the best company to go with. From pick up to drop off, they did a great job of making sure we saw chernobyl, the towns, the lunch, Duga radar etc. Company was on time for pick up, showed us everything, did not rush us, provided authentic Soviet lunch, and dropped us off in Kyiv Alina was my tour guide on May 9 2021 and she was very friendly, informative and really connected with us 5 stars.

I booked a Friday tour and it got rescheduled to Saturday, but given everything going on with Covid, I understood. My tour guide was great about including some additional tours since my tour was moved. She gave me a great tour of Kviv. I even got to participate in a protest for people from Belarus. Chornobyl was an amazing experience. I learned a lot and have life long memories.

Both times when we went to visit Chernobyl we chose Misha as our tour guide and we couldn't be more satisfied with the service! Misha can answer all your questions and is very polite. He arranged everything from the start to the end of the tour perfectly and the best thing about his tours is, that you can decide what you want to see. If you want to visit the exclusion zone, Misha is definitely the man you should contact! 10/10 Points - would recommend
