Mind-blowing experience in Chernobyl with SoloEast company I’ve planned to visit Chernobyl and the ghost town of Pripyat for many years. I heard about several companies, which organize tours to the Exclusion Zone… but I recognized that SoloEast is the best one in Ukraine! The friend of mine was in Chernobyl in the last year, and he extremely recommended me only this tour operator. Thus, I’ve decided to go with them. I booked my tour online, and it was really easy to do. The meeting point is at the central part of Kyiv – Independence Square, near the Kozatskiy hotel. It’s not the problem to find it. Firstly, I noticed 4 buses with the signs SoloEast, and then professional and friendly manager Victor helped me to find my guide (…we had 4 groups of tourists at that day). Our group consisted of 16 tourists, but our tour leader told us, that we are visitors of Zone of Alienation. Our representative of Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (guide) was very communicable, tactful and knowledgeable. Everything was well-organized. We passed 2 passport controls, and, finally, we had a chance to see the power plant, the place of world-wide disaster, and then my favorite place for that day – the ghost town of Pripyat. Nowadays, this town with the sad history is like a kind of open-air ‘museum’…everything there…all streets, buildings were frozen in time, in the Soviet Union. Only pictures in the album of our guide could help us to see, how everything looked early. I’m very grateful to SoloEast company for this amazing experience! I would definitely recommend SoloEast to my friends and colleagues! Thank you!

Very professional tour operator and our guide/driver Pasja was very knowledgeable. The communication beforehand was absolutely perfect as all my questions were answered within an hour. Only 2 other people signed up for my 2 day group tour which made it a semi private tour. We stayed overnight at the private property of Solo East (2 or 3 km out of the zone) which was perfect and very comfortable. The airco was greatly appreciated. We managed to see everything we wanted and even did manage to see some of the less common but impressive buildings. We also got to meet a babushka that still lives in the zone. Make sure to bring something against the mosquitos in the summer and make sure you wear sturdy and comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot. Definitely one of the top quality operator of tours to Chernobyl, i can definitely recommend them!

(origin.) Me and my friend (both idiots) decided to go on the chernobyl day tour and shooting tour. We're a bit of handful but the guides and drivers were very patient with us, as well as understanding. Honestly I felt sorry for them having to put up with us but it was a fun experience which they made interesting nevertheless. A great team of people, with an understanding of social culture with British and welcoming vibes. (transla.) Я та мій друг (обоє ідіоти) вирішили поїхати на денний тур Чорнобиля та зйомку. Ми трохи пригорщі, але путівники та водії були дуже терплячі до нас, а також розуміння. Чесно кажучи, мені було шкода, що вони мирилися з нами, але це було цікаве враження, що вони зробили цікаві, хоча. Чудова команда людей, що розуміють соціальну культуру з британськими та вітаючими настроями.

I traveled with SoloEast to chernobyl in late 2016 with a few of my friends from Ireland and It was a thrilling experience. The team were incredibly kind and helpful especially Igor who picked us up from the airport and another guy who I unfortunately can't remember the name of who showed us around the city once the tour was over and really catered to our interests. The tour itself is fascinating and the journey on the mini bus was relaxed and informative with documentaries to watch and a stop at a shop on the way to the exclusion zone. The food that you get for lunch at the canteen was also very nice. Overall it was an experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life and I'll try to go for a two day tour at some point in the next few years as I only did a single day trip.

We booked a private tour to Chernobyl with SoloEast and we had a great time. The guide was on time (like to the minute on time). We had a fun ride going there. Victoria, our guide, was great. She showed us around the area, good lunch. We came back at 8pm. Full day tour, I loved it. One thing I would add is that the tour includes a visit of the Woodpecker complex, an old soviet radar base. Honestly, I would have much rather spent some more time in Prypiat. This is not the company's fault, I was aware that we were going. But II would suggest to skip it, and just go straight to the interesting stuff around the Plant and the city. It's so much better. Also, Victoria, if you read this, your laugh is one of the greatest one I've heard, don't change.

Prior to the tour I had done a lot of research and wanted to see several (very) remote places that are rarely visited as well as stop at all the major group tour group locations. Natalia responded promptly to my e-mails and assured me that visiting the outlaying villages near the Belarus border would be no problem and our start time was brought forward (at no extra cost) to 6:15am to ensure my itinerary was met. Igor was our guide and in the 13 hours we spent on the tour, we managed to see everything I wanted. Everyone at the company was professional from start to finish and you could not wish for a better guide than Igor who was knowledgeable and great company for the day on the long drive. Really cannot recommend highly enough

This was the best experience I have ever had. Chernobyl and Pripyat are incredible, it is an haunting yet beautiful place to explore. My guide was great fun and full of local knowledge. The staff also helped me organise a few other things to do around Kyiv and I had the best time of life visiting Chernobyl and Ukraine. I can't wait to go back one day. I never thought I would ever get to experience anything like this is my life. If you are thinking about visiting please go and do it! Make sure you go with SoloEast Travel, they are the most experienced and knowledgeable and they really looked after me!

The trip to Chernobyl was probably the most exciting experience during our stay in Ukraine. It's a must-see. Our guide Alex is a great guy and I wasn't bored for a while. He told us not only about the Chernobyl tragedy but also about the history and life in the Soviet Union, he even briefly explained the basics of nuclear radiation. I guess we were shown everything that could be included in a 1-day trip or even more. We could count on Alex's help in taking pictures. The bus trip was also quick and safe thanks to our driver Sergei. I strongly recommend a trip to Chernobyl organized by SoloEast.

This trip was simply amazing. Driver picked us up from hotel which was very convenient. Drive to the powerplant was quite comfortable with nice minibus. Our guide Tania is a very nice and competent person. Her knowledge about the Zone and history of the accident is outstanding. The tour inside the Zone covered most significant spots but with no rush. If you want to experience magnitude of Chernobyl catastrophe, this tour is certainly one of the best ways to do it. I would recommend it to everyone who’s interested in nuclear energy or simply is into some post-apocalyptic themes.

Bardzo sympatyczna obsługa w biurze. Transport od hotelu do punktu zbiórki dla 3 osób bez problemu. Przewodnik Tanja z kierowcą Alex przeprowadzili naszą wycieczkę profesjonalnie. Pomimo pewnych niedogodności spowodowanych nie z winy biura (12.09.2018) wycieczka udana i pełna wrażeń. Tanja starała się ze wszystkich sił i w miarę możliwości dopasować się do życzeń grupy. Szczególne podziękowania za zorganizowanie transportu powrotnej do hotelu (taxi), bo z powodu braków w języku chyba czekał by mnie powrót na pieszo. Pozdrawiam całe biuro i polecam tym co się wahają.

Solo east organized a private tour of Chernobyl for me with Pasha as my driver and guide. This was such an amazing trip that I hadn't even imagined. The trip was professionally organized. Pasha is very friendly and knowledgeable. Since it was a private tour, he tailored the trip as per my requests and he kept offering suggestions. A vegetarian lunch was also arranged for me right in Chernobyl. Man, the lunch was delicious. If you are in Ukraine to visit Chernobyl, you can't go wrong with SoloEast.

Highly recommended! Those guys are super professional! My wife was a litle worried to visit Chernobyl exclusion zone (obvious reasons), but our guide Igor Bodnarchuk took care of us for the whole time. As we booked 2 day private tour, he was our driver, guide and great companion for the whole time. The car was clean and comfortable. If you have time we would also recommend to visit Power plant. This was also very, very interesting. You can book the tour through SoloEast travel.

I planned the tour to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone at the end of October with 3 friends. The tour was amazing, and the guide Pasha, really experienced and with a lot of information able to answer to all the questions. The place was above my imagination especially because I was dreaming of visiting this area for so long. I love abandoned place and urban exploration, and reaching the rooftop in Prypiat was really incredible. The city is still a moment stuck in time.

Absolutely fantastic trip. Private tour is highly recommended. The car that arrived was good condition and clean. We could go wherever we wanted(assuming it's safe) and the host was extremely friendly and knowledgeable (Victoria). She is an absolute asset to Solo-east. I had some cancellations and name changes and nothing was too much trouble. Cannot fault this trip and would highly recommend if you get the opportunity.

My friend and I just returned form a three-day tour of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and it was a brilliant experience. Diana was our guide, and she did an absolutely wonderful job of getting us to the places we were interested in, and making us feel welcome and comfortable. I personally have not taken many such tours in my travels, but if they are half as good as this one, I'll be happy. Highly recommended.

Wow! I cannot rate SoloEast Travel highly enough. I did a 1-day Chernobyl tour and it more than exceeded my expectations. From Nick in the office, to Alex our tour guide, the whole experience was impecable. I must add that Alex really made the tour what it was. He was such a down-to-earth person, extremely knowledeable, and most of all, loved his job which made it amazing. Thank you very much :-)

We had a great tour with Alex as a guide and Sergei as a driver! I feel lucky that we came across them and saw as much as possible for the one-day tour. Everything was very well organized, Alex is very passionate about his profession and probably knows everything about the place, besides he is a very nice person. I highly recommend the tour with him, you will definitely be in good hands!

We hebben een mooie en interessante dag gehad met onze gids Anastasia. Ze wist veel van het gebied en vertelde veel. Het was fijn om met deze organisatie te gaan want alles was goed geregeld en we konden snel door de checkpoints heen. Ondanks dat we een tour hadden voor maar één dag, heeft de gids ons veel laten zien. We hadden een goede en strakke planning. Bedankt voor de tour!

If you ever plan to visit Kyiv, you should definately consider doing a tour to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and you should definately choose SoloEast to bring you there. Organisation, tour guides, busses, lunch, everything is simply perfect. I did the tour already 5 times and I never got dissapointed. Vika, Igor & Konstantin made the tours unforgettable for me :) Thank you!

It is amazing experience to stand 200m next to the fourth reactor of former nuclear power plant. Wandering on the streets of the ghost city Pripyat with dosimeter is breathtaking. SoloEast service is perfect, we had many questions before we came to Ukraine, they always answered in less that one hour. Their discounts system was able to save us 200$.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Solo east have a great guide with Alex. He was superb all day. He sounds like he really enjoys his job and because of that his enthusiasm spreads amongst the guests. He explained all the rules perfectly there were no grey areas. I would highly recommend this trip with solo East but make sure you get Alex. Thank you.

This was such a great experience. The booking was easy and the tour was great. We arrived at our pick up about 5 minutes early and they were there waiting for us, we paid our balance and done. The tour guide was good, just wished we could have stayed at some sites longer. I would recommend SoloEast Travel to anyone wanting to visit Chernobyl.

I went with my wife on a one day trip to the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Our guide was Oleg and he was very good guide and took us to see a lot of interesting places (duga radar, pripyat, Chernobyl etc.). We had lunch at Chernobyl, tasty chicken and rice (non radioactive ). I highly recommend going with Solo East to the exclusion zone.

Went along with a few friends with SoloEast on the one day tour to Chernobyl NPP. Despite having been to the zone once before, our fantastic guide Pasha had a lot of new information that I had not had heard before. Very competitive price, especially considering lunch was included which was above expectations. Highly recommended.

The tour to Chernobyl was amazing and our guide went out of her way to make sure she showed us what everyone wanted to see. It was exceptionally hot and she made sure to get us in shade and provide us with extra opportunities to get snacks and drinks. It is a day I will always remember. Thanks SoloEast Travel!

Amazing trip to Chernobyl and pripyat . Would recommend this group for the exclusion zone. Our guide Pasha was kickass, fully knowledgeable person. Trip was planned neatly , lunch place is where they stop is also good , they take time to show and explain the important zones of Chernobyl and pripyat towns.

07/01/16 - We had a brilliant tour of Chernobyl and Pripyat. Our tour guide was helpful, informative and to top it all off just a really nice guy! We enjoyed it so much we took another tour the following day with him around the city. Would recommend SoloEast to anyone looking to visit Chernobyl.

I've had a great time during the Chernobyl tour. Our guide Pasha was very helpful and knowledgeable about the history if Chernobyl and Pripyat. We got to see a lot of stuff. It was a really interesting day. The lunch was good. Overall the whole package is definitely worth the money.

It has been an unforgettable trip, both for the experience itself and for the guide, Alex, who is a very good person, noble, knowledgeable about the terrain and above all, he is a person who really loves his job. I recommend without any doubts that you hire the tour with SoloEast.

Great experience! Our guide, Alex, was very passionate about his job and it showed, and our driver, Vadim, provided seemless transportation everywhere. I would definitely recommend Solo East to anyone wanting to see and learn about the Chornobyl area or any other part of Ukraine!

Honest the best tour I've ever been on. The your guide and driver were both lovely, the information given was accurate and interesting, the sights seen were utterly incredible. If you want to visit the Chernobyl exclusion zone, this is the company for you.

Найкращий можливий варіант, коли мова йде про одноденну поїздку в зону. Ігор, Олексій та їхній друг (я не пам’ятаю ім’я, але дуже гарні) виявились чудовими, відкритими людьми з дуже добрими знаннями. Якщо ви хочете відвідати зону, тільки з ними.

The tour with Solo East West travel is highly recommended. Everything was very well organized, the lunch was nice and our guide Yuliia was very nice and she told us a lot of interesting things. Also our driver was very friendly and capable.…

I visited twice the Chernobyl exclusion zone (once with DUGA 3) with SoloEast Travel. Both visits where perfectly planed and the two guides were outstanding. Couldn't imagine a better company for visiting Chernobyl than SoloEast.

Käisime Tšernobõli tuuril koos nende giidi Nazariga. Oli väga korralik tuur, hästi korraldatud. Nazar oli kõigega kursis, rääkis head inglise keelt, vastas meeleldi küsimustele ja tegi üldse meie elamuse toredaks. Soovitan!

Great experience in the polar chernobyl Tania was an amazing guide and we love the way she explain the history. Thanks a lot again Tania for your hapiness. See you maybe in summer. Your french frozen friends.…

Used this company to organise my tour of chernobyl, highly recommend pick up was on time. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Will be booking my next tour of reactor number 4 when time allow.

Best tour I ever been Alex the tour guide have massive knowledge and passion. We went for 1 day only and amount of information as well as places we visited was worth money we paid.

Our guide Igor guided us really good. It was really interesting and educating. We have the best experience! Highly reccomended the tour, especially the guide Igor.

Our guide was Vika. She is a super capable guide who will go the extra mile for her customers. This has been a once in a life time trip! Its was simply AMAZING!!

Great guides, go above and beyond to make sure your safe and also have a great experience. Friendly staff definitely go with this group again to chernobyl.

Was great, interesting tour to Chernobyl, tasty lunch, greit guide Oleg. We got a lot of history about incident. Thanks for so good and organized trip.

Alex is great guide that is passionate about his job. I highly recommend tours with him. I regret that I booked only one day trip to Czarnobyl

First class from start to finish, just about to book again , has to be the two day tour - absolutely amazing effort from Tania and Igor .

Excellent 1 or 2 day ‘Chernobyl’- tours, we had a very good guide (Anastasia). When visiting Kiev, this trip is a must …
