Nice video, but I think it's a bit ignorant standing in front of the memorial built for the heroes that tried to fight the fire in the reactor and died a few days after the catastrophe while one of you guys wears a "radioactive" T-Shirt.

Acyually it's Yuri, our guide that day who is actually giving tours for the Ukrain goverment. His shirt refers to the Pripyat forum, which is set up to inform people like you who only know half the story.

Please go there once, you'll be amazed about what stories are true and which are wrong!

We traveled there by travel company solo-east from Kiev; they arranged everything for us (train tickets, Kiev tour, Chernocyl tour and hotel in Kiev). All very excellently organized!

Total price of our trip was about 900 euros per person including everything on the 8 day tour from The Netherlands.

Hm, quite expencive. Train from Slovenia to Kiev is about 40€, the route itself is about 2000km (if I am correct) long. Rent-a-car shouldn`t be more expensive than 100€ per day. So, alltogether with food and staying in hotel shouldn`t cost more than 300€ per person. But of course, I am taking about my route and no agency involved.

[BasDerkink]

Included are all costs from Netherlands to Ukraine and back. What about Slovenia? The trip from Poland to Ukraine is about EUR 200, berth-cabin train.

Off course everybody is free to take cheaper hotels and transport and to take hotels where there is no English speaking staff.

why is everyone giving theese guys shit about going there?! i would love to go there and the people on here bitching about why go to a place that people sufferd in back in 86 whats up your asses? i do feal bad for the people that suffered there and dont think they deserve to suffer but saying the people in this video are wrong for going there does that mean no one sould ever go to NYC because of what happend to the WTC???

it must be a very interesting trip,but you really tried to make it look as if you were going to disneyland on this video with the music,faces and pictures in a place where a major disaster happened, people left lives behind,most died and some are still suffering from radiation effects a place full of sadness.

stupid video!!!

I think riding that shitty Roller Coaster was more dangerous than a visit to the Power Plant!! Loved your video! I recognized Yuri!!!! It must be safe to visit...Yuri has been the tour guide for years now, Hmm?

[egdqv13234]

you had in your other video russian music what was the name??????

[nakada7224]

Although there are still abnormal levels of radiation in the Chernobyl NPP and area around it, its not enough to cause damage if your only there for a weak at the max. There are also special areas with low levels of radiation where you can camp out!
