      An unbelievable experience. My guide was awesome - super knowledgeable and easy to follow. This has been the most interesting thing I've ever seen. My only regret is that I didn't book a 2-day tour.

      Our tour guide Dennis was very knowledgable and friendly. We were able to see Prypiat after snowfall it was a haunting experience. For anyone visiting Ukraine, this is a must do.

      Nous avons vu tout ce que je voulais voir. Le tour est complet avec les explications du guide et le film durant le trajet. Cependant, je trouve que nous avons perdu du temps car le guide répondait trop aux questions d'une personne. Le guide aurait pu mettre fin à des discussions interminables avec cette personne. Pendant ce temps-là, le groupe attendait et on gelait sur place.

      J'ai quand même apprécié mon tour.

      Dennis was a great tour guide who knew a lot about Chernobyl. He definitely had a great passion and his English was excellent! We saw conflicting information about meals. We had lunch provided and we brought snacks which I highly recommend. It’s a long day and you will get hungry.
