My friends, who are fond of traveling, when they found out that I am on business in Ukraine, advised me to visit Chernobyl. I had a day off and decided on this adventure. This tour exceeded all my expectations! Excursion to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is one of the most exciting experiences for every adventurer, traveler, and photographer. The tour was well organized: the meeting place was easy to find. During a two-hour trip by bus from Kyiv, which took us to the exclusion zone, we were provided with information about the history of the tragedy and the safety rules that must be followed. Volodya's guide coordinated with other groups so we wouldn't have to cross paths and could take pictures without people. It was a very impressive, exciting, and informative tour. And safe. I saw a very special world and learned a lot about the Chernobyl disaster, as well as people's lives until 1986. The trip to Chernobyl helped me to understand more deeply how the world I live in, to rethink my life from a broader perspective, and hopefully change it for the better.
