Tour Kyiv, The BEST tour provider in Ukraine.
Well where do I begin. This was an adventure from start to end, Met up with Charlie in Poland and we made our way across the border to Ukraine, We arrived at the hotel, had a few drinks to be ready for the next day.We started earlyish and was brought on a tour of the border towns hit by the invasion to show the impact it had and how Ukraine just refuses to go down by rebuilding. After the historic tour, Charlie brought me and a few of the tour guides to a rock concert. The next day was my birthday and Charlie took me to all of the best pubs/bars around Kyiv and we settled on Queens pub which the tour guides were at too along with a few other people who came to celebrate my birthday. Charlie bought me a cake as well as copious drinks. We had an amazing time, great company, informative, fun and an experience.Thanks to Tour Kyiv I will be back!
The Zone on snowy Sunday morning
I went with my two friends on a 1 day private tour with Contamination Zone.All in all,that was unforgettable experience, from the start to finish.The driver was amazing, Charlie with communication and arranging everything, more than perfect and our guide , Sasha, amazing. From stories and general approach to the Zone from everbody in Contamination Zone you can see that they love their job ,love the Zone and go above and beyond to give their guests amazing tours.If you want to enjoy your day, see some amazing sights , laugh all the way , Contamination Zone is the only choice for you.
1 day trip to Chernobyl and a tour around Kyiv
I went on a 1 day trip to the zone with Contamination Zone. The guide was very professional with plenty of knowledge! I also used them for a 1 day tour around Kyiv. They took me around the city showing me it’s beautiful landmarks and taught me a lot of its history! I will 100% recommend them!
A great tour of Chernobyl you won't get any better!
Brilliant trip, we had four days in the zone with sasha our guide. We got to see everything we wanted with Sasha giving us all the rich history of the zone.I would recommend Contamination Zone 100% if you want to learn about the history of Chernobyl and the surrounding areas, a great laugh and took some amazing photos.
3 days tour : one of the best experiences of my life !
We had a 3-days trip in the Chernobyl zone and it was absolutely amazing. Sacha is a very kind, professional and competent guide and Jim has also been present to check if all went well. We were able to see an incredible amount of places - more than I espected - and even the transport was good in a comfortable van. We had a very good time all together. If I come back to the Zone, I would never choose another company than Contamination Zone !

My trip to chernobyl
I went with Charlie's company to Pripyat at 18th of August, Andrew was our guide.I can suggest this company and this guide , for following reasons1-Charlie is very friendly and helpfull2-Andrew(Guide) is very knowledgable.Some minor problems ( not exactly problem but can be improved )1-Owner of the company uses nick ( he say he has his personal reasons but for me this is a sign of un-proffesionality).2-They don't have a choice to pay deposit and pay remaining in bus.Overall 9/10.

Hi Artun,Thanks for your review. I'm very pleased you enjoyed the day and that you were very happy with the guide.However, I must say I am disappointed at receiving 4 stars instead of 5, considering we spent about a month talking about everything regarding your trip and answering all your questions, and then on the day when you changed your mind about lunch didn't have any problem bending over backwards to send the cost of lunch back to your card.We will of course accept your feedback and try to make the experience better, however I will answer a couple of points below:Regarding deposits and paying cash in the van, while I understand that it might be easier for some people to pay a deposit and the rest on the day, it does unfortunately add some problems of its own.Accepting cash means that the staff on the day have to have money to give people as change if they do not have the correct amount. Also, in the past there have been conflicts when people pay in the wrong currency and then when they recieve any change back there can be further conflict about the exchange rate.It also means that the staff on the day have to spend time counting it, delaying the start of the trip and reducing the amount of time you get to spend in Chernobyl.All of the above has been explained to you via our Facebook conversation.And, lastly, regarding Facebook, you added me as a friend on my personal account and spoke to me there, I really have no problem with you doing that but the name I use for my personal account is my choice. An alternative would have been speaking via the company's Facebook page.
Definitely, one of the best days of my life!
Definitely, one of the best days of my life!Honestly, since I stopped playing the legendary Ukrainian computer game "S.T.A.L.K.E.R", I stopped dreaming of visiting Chernobyl too. However, my best friend managed to ignite a spark in my mind, so I was quite captivated and excited to explore that renowned place. I am convinced that awesome people create the memorable experience of touring around famous sightseeing more than places themselves. And in our case, people who have shown us all beauty of Chernobyl were lovely, passionate, professional, and endowed with an excellent sense of humor. Sasha (Alexandra Chalenko) and Charlie (Charlie Tango) really made my day. I couldn't ask them more except for the extra hours of the trip (but we were tired, though). Hopefully, it's not the last trip with those positive guys. Highly recommend booking a trip with this company. You wouldn't regret it!

When Chernobyl, then with Contamination Zone!
The tour was amazing! The guys from Contamination Zone are absolutely responsible and know the place very well, we could literally ask any question we had (be it technical, historical or contemporary developments). Everything was very well organised from the transport to the documents and the walk in the territory. Highly recommended!!

Well trained professionals
Since the beginning the trip was very well organized, the team clearly knew what they were doing. I was a bit hesitant about the safety of taking this tour but I felt completely safe, they explained everything to us and answered any questions we had ; for both safety and details about the place. Thank you Maria!

Group tour to Chernobyl
Overall it was a great experience. We booked a private group tour on the website, then met at the desired time and day. Charlie did a great job organizing and Maria did a wonderful job as a tour guide. We were able to see everything on the tour and by 17.00 we were all tired from the experience. I would recommend the tour!

Trip of a lifetime
I don't know where to begin to be honest, there was so many things and places to go, questions I wanted to ask and Sasha my guide was absolutely incredible and I'd love to have her as a guide again assuming she is ok with that as my broad Scottish accent was hard for her to understand at times but she was full of so much information and even booked a hotel for me on her phone. Chernobyl zone is one of the best trips you can book and if you can book a five day tour it's worth the money id also like to thank Charlie tango and the driver of the tourwho's name escapes me,

Amazing day in Chernobyl
Had an absolutely amazing experience with Contamination Zone in Chernobyl/pripyat. Owner Charlie and excellent guide Alexandra (Sasha) made the day even more special with their knowledge, good attitudes and humour - would highly recommend this team.A fascinating and eerie place, expert info, and I just about had it all to myself given the current circumstances! The driver Yuri felt very safe, despite the snowy conditions. I also liked that the team brought food for the stray dogs. Definitely 5 stars for these guys..

I have never met such an interesting guide ready to answer all questions. Thank you very much, Maria. It was exciting and very informative.Unforgettable emotions.I will 100% recommend this tour operator to everyone I know.
