All inclusive tour with meals and accommodation designed with the purpose of photography. We prefer to have flexible itinerary while in the zone - which means we can start earlier and finish later, spend more time here or less time there as well as to choose what to see. But in any case a guide will ask you and you are to make the decision what to do. For our 2-day Chernobyl tour we limit the group size to maximum 10 participants! This is gives us great flexibility in our itinerary and we can adjust our tour depending on the group interests.

Inclusions: Overnight accommodation (TWN room shared). Single supplement is available at extra $30., Dinner, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Meals 2xL, D, B (L=lunch, B=breakfast, , D=dinner), Driver/guide, Transport by air-conditioned minivan

Exclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off (if option not selected)

What an excellent tour and location. Ivan (My guide) was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about the topic and personable. It was the perfect balance of history, experience and emotion to make a very memorable adventure. Safety was also never a concern of mine. Ivan made sure to keep the journey interactive while also ensuring we never ventured anywhere that might expose us, or to areas that are no longer structurally sound.

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
