Overview

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.

  • Duga Radar Russian Woodpecker

    Chernobyl-2 Secret Object. DUGA-1 over-the-horizon radar station DUGA-1 object is one of the most well-known objects of the former USSR. Its exact name is in fact «5H32». The radar was supposed to detect air targets, like launched intercontinental ballistic missiles. The signal emitted by the radar reminded of a woodpecker hammering. For this reason, the object has been nicknamed “the Russian Woodpecker”.

Max "the Dentist" is the best guide

Five Stars to the Private Tour of Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Daniel was Fantastic.

Published on Sep, 2021

Absolutely 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.

Awesome day in Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Published on Feb, 2020

We 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.

Wow.

Published on Nov, 2019

Could not have expected a better experience than the one we got. Max the Dentist was a phenomenal guide, very friendly, and a high level expert on the subject. It may cost a little more than the larger tour groups, but I highly recommend spending more money to do a private tour. Very much worth the experience, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Max the Dentist as your guide. Very satisfied with the entire experience. Thank you!

Fantastic private tour

Published on Sep, 2019

Thank you very much - We had a great day which exceeded our expectations. We were a group of 8 people and our tourguide Lena showed us everything we wanted to see in and around Pripyat. The Canteen was closed that day but Lena brought 2 big bags og fruits, sandwiches, juice and cookies for us to have a picnic in the car - Very appreciated. Last a big high five to our driver. He drove like a boss and got us there in time even with the jammed Kiev traffic.
