Private Tour
Individual tour to the Chernobyl Zone from Kyiv
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
An individual excursion is perhaps the best way to get acquainted with the Chernobyl exclusion zone, as well as explore its history and area.
You will visit all the TOP locations and learn/hear/see as many interesting facts as necessary in order to have a good understanding of the causal relationship of the events that led to the catastrophe that almost ruined our planet.
A tour of the Chernobyl zone is quite an extreme event since in some places there is still a high level of radiation, but a trip there can be as safe and comfortable as possible if it was prepared by our team.

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! This tour to the Chernobyl exclusion zone exceeded my expectations. Daniel was my tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic. I went to the exclusion zone to create a youtube vlog and Daniel showed me some amazing locations to capture great content. I am so glad that I booked onto the private 1-2-1 tour as I saw extra locations than what I would have seen on the group tour, and also it meant that I could have a more personalised tour. Daniel was. very knowledgeable on the history and locations in the exclusion zone, and this made the tour extremely interesting. He clearly knew his stuff and he also asked me what I would like to see. Daniel is also a great guy; he is very friendly and approachable and truly makes an effort to provide a first class service when conducting a tour. I give him five stars. If anyone reading this review is interested, my youtube channel is THOMAS WILLIAM TRAVEL - I create travel videos of lesser visited destinations. Please subscribe and check out my video of this trip. Amazing experience and I would go again.
That's great.

5.00I want to express my gratitude to Go2chernobyl and separately to guide Nikolai for a day that will be remembered for life! Visiting the ZO left an indelible impression (the second day I never stop thinking about the zone :-)) Nikolai is a very professional guide, possesses information thoroughly that you can't ask - everything knows, knows how to set the mood and make you want to come back already for a two-day tour. The exclusion zone itself is mesmerizing, feeling the whole range of emotions - from sadness to delight at the economic, and most importantly the mental and human potential of the country that created the NPP,Arc,Pripyat. I recommend that everyone visit the ZO with the company Go2chernobyl, but I warn you it is dangerous, you will want to go back there :)))
It should be seen by everyone.

5.00It's a great ride. Good organization. Only lively do you realize the magnitude of the tragedy, the power of nature and the responsibility for everything you do. Special thanks to the guide Nicholas for his communication, wide horizons, ability to convey information interestingly. It's imperative to come again. One day is not enough!!!
Awesome day in Chernobyl exclusion zone.

5.00We booked a private tour and the bus arrived earlier than expected at our hotel in Kyiv along with our guide Nikolai. We were on our way almost straight away after a quick passport check. The bus was reasonably comfortable with A/C and heating. On the journey there Nikolai introduced himself, told us what we were going to be doing and seeing through the day. Also during the journey, an interesting video is played to educate you on what actually happened to Reactor 4 and the people of Chernobyl. We sailed through the checkpoint in almost no time at all. We got to see Chernobyl, Chernobyl 2 (USSR radar station), Reactor 4 and Pripyat. Lunch was provided halfway through the tour. Not much choice but perfectly edible. Nikolai was very knowledgable, he kept us informed of what everything was, what happened and answered all our questions as best he could. He was very friendly and easy to get along with. Overall we had a great day. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer, but it was getting dark and we had to be back at the checkpoint for 6pm. We will be back for a 2 day tour at some point and hopefully get Nikolai as our guide again. Thank you Nikolai, and the rest of the team from Jake and Becki.
Very Interesting Experience

5.00This was an amazing experience! Very eerie to see the devastating effects from the nuclear reactor explosion. Our guide Daniel knew a lot about the history and was very kind and helpful. The food is not so good so I would suggest bringing your own lunch. Also, if you like dogs, bring some snacks for them because there are tons of stray dogs everywhere. They are really friendly and well fed from all the tourists, but some extra food and love can never hurt 🐶
