Amazing and memorable experience - We did the overnight tour with Alex as our guide and had an unforgettable experience. We went to so many different places and had experiences you definitely wouldn’t get with one of the bigger companies where you turn up on a bus with 30 other tourists. We were just four people and it meant Alex was able to tailor the visit to us, and we covered three days worth of places in two days. Most of the places we visited, we didn’t see any other people there.
Food was not great and I was tempted to mark them down for this but overall I was still very happy with the tour. They shouldn’t take people to the local canteen for breakfast though as it was inedible. Dinner was fine and I even got a vegetarian option. Bring LOTS of snacks!! (We did stop at a couple of places where we could buy snacks too)

Amazing tour - We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide Alex was very friendly and knowledgable and ensured that we had the best experience possible. We saw lots of sights that we didn’t expect to be able to see and could not have been happier with the experience.
One bit of feedback that may be helpful to others going on this tour- take plenty of food with you. On the first day you will meet at 8am and not eat until the evening and on day two, lunch is at around 4pm after an early breakfast. There is the chance to buy food from a small shop in the exclusion zone so ensure you take this opportunity otherwise you will be very hungry!
All in all an excellent tour that we would highly recommend. Thankyou Alex!

Best tour of my life! - Out tour guide Alex was the best guide ever! He went out of his way multiple times to make the tour even more awesome than it already was. He was very very thoughtful and just a very kind guy! We will definitely visit Chernobyl again and book again with Go2chernobyl.com

Amazing experience - go for the 2-day teip - We just got back from 2-day trip to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and we highly recommend it.
The highlight for us was Pripyat and the 4-hour walk we did through the town. It’s amazing to see how nature has taken over this place but also a pity to see how it was vandalized. We were also impressed by the DUGA radar system and its surroundings.
Things to bear in mind:
- on the day we travelled there was only one policeman at the Exclusion Zone “border”, so we waited 1,5 hours to be able to cross (there are quite a few tourist buses coming, I think we counted around 12 ahead of us).
- the food served throughout the trip is quite bland and not appealing (and comes in all shades of brown), so bring lots of snacks.
- toilet stops are far and few (always bring tissues with you).
- the hotel was actually not that bad, very clean, but bring an extra sweater/jumper in case you get cold.
- download or get a map of the region as we didn’t get a brief of what we were going to do or see and I think having a map in hand would’ve been helpful.
