Individual tour to the Chernobyl Zone from Kyiv
Things to know
About the Activity
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.6 hours to 11 hours
