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!

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 !

Second Trip with CZ This was my second trip to the zone with Contamination Zone, but was amazing and incredible like the first one i took a few months back! Had lot of fun with the people of my group and the guide (Sasha) is really amazing. Can't wait to come back in the future and see how much the zone has changed.

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.

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!

Maren Z

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!!

Todd B

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!

Ivette Rossano

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!

Great chernobyl tour From the beginning of booking to the actual trip I was very satisfied with the contamination zone experience. Charlie and team were very knowledgeable and I had a great time. 100% recommended.

George M

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,

Andrea M

Perfect Trip! I always wanted to visit Chernobyl; this was an great experience with an amazing guide (Sasha)! Can't wait come back and see more in the zone!

Jade H

Day trip First people inside the zone and last people exiting the zone - Alexandra provided awesome music lots of information and answers to my questions

Cam C

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..

Katarzyna

Definitely want to come back again Best day of my life.I was very afraid to go, but it was definitely worth it.I was given a good briefing and safety rules were followed very well so I relaxed and enjoyed the excursion. 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.

Ольга

Day trip to Pripyat This trip was amazing! We saw lots of fantastic places, we were so lucky with weather, cause we made nice pictures of Pripyat covered with snow. Our guide told us a lot about the history of the Zone itself, how life is going now here. Highly recommend to visit it with Contamination Zone! This company did something I thought was nice, they took food for the stray dogs. I did not see any other company doing that.

Kornelija

Champs Amazing team! Always ready to answer all Chernobyl related questions. Bought patches from them and they’re absolutely great. Couldn’t find the specific design anywhere but you bet they had it! 🙂

Bengley

Excellent experience in every way I went on a three day tour with Charlie and a two day tour with Sasha and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the experience. The guides are highly knowledgeable about all things Chernobyl and I can't recommend them enough. If you're looking for a private tour of the Zone, Contamination Zone are the guys for you.

Annalisa G

Amazing humans - best crew ever Charlie Tango I found on Instagram and he helped with info about travel bans and was amazing help and really cared. He had Alexandra Chalenko be my guide and she was my dream guide. I proposed to my gf there and she surprised us with the best champagne i ever had and was super funny and informative. They will both be friends of mine forever now I hope. Solid people. Good souls. I will visit there every year I hope and use only them.

Kate B

Awesome knowledgeable guides Not my first trip but saw and learnt loads that I hadn't previously. I can tell that these guides have a genuine passion for the zone and are not in it just for the money.Highly recommended.

Daphne Ag.

Great time with Charlie I had a great time with Charlie Tango. These people know a lot about the zone and will tell you everything you want to know.

Dave132pne

the best tours of Chernobyl zone I've used these guys twice now for trips to the zone over the years and I'm already thinking of going back again. They give you what you want from a tour in seeing the bits you want to see, such as the iconic places such as the ferris wheel to the lesser seen parts like the smaller villages you cant see on the bigger tours. I cant recommend these guys enough and I've sent a fair few friends their way now. I've attached a few photos that I took on my last trip with these guys.

Wade Wilson

Five star tours of Chernobyl Great guides and an even better experience. Taught us the history behind the buildings and areas. Introduced us to locals and kept us safe the whole time. What a fun and unforgettable time we all had. Thanks Contamination Zone

Charlie T

Private trip These guys really know the zone! I had been visiting before with another provider, but Sasha was simply amazing and showed me places I had never seen before even in internet photos! I will for sure be using these guys again!
