I am a scientist by trade and found Pasha, our guide spot on. The pace was excellent, very informative and the detail was impressive. Pasha is a real pro! Relaxed, knowledgable, intuitive and an excellent guide.
Lunch far out weighed my expectations and was very good.
The tour is long, yes but really really worth it.
A must do for anyone visiting Kiev.

My wife and I went on the Chernobyl trip with Solo East on Sunday 13th October. We are pretty well travelled and I can say without exception, this was one of the top three tours trips we have ever taken. Our guide and driver were both called Alex, and they were great, especially Alex, the guide. His knowledge of the area was unbelievable. He had his own huge folder of accompanying photos, as well as the official folder. He breezed us through various checkpoints without delay, and as the fourteen of us on the 19 seat Mercedes minibus were all punctual, it meant we maximised our time at the different locations. His grandfather was involved in the clean up operation, and he had his ID card and medal he was awarded to show us, which was a lovely touch. An adequate lunch was provided, as were regular toilet stops. Various documentaries were played relating to Chernobyl on the way there.
If you’re thinking of going to Chernobyl, I’d recommend Solo East without a doubt, and if you get Alex as your guide, it will be a major bonus to your day.

I lived through the cold war but this trip showed just how frightening and knife-edge that period was. Russia/Ukraine had spent $billions on these high tech sites at a time when they couldn't feed their own people.
The guides are all employed at the site and not by the tour operator and so have comprehensive knowledge.
There is also a large selection of military hardware to see above ground.
This trip has a 3.5 -.4.00 hour drive out and back over sometimes rough roads. It is also unsuitable for anyone who is remotely claustrophobic.

A truly spectacular trip. Alex our guide was exceptional. His knowledge and enthusiasm was limitless and he truly made our trip the most enjoyable private tour we have ever experienced. We went as a group of 4 from Kiev and were picked up by private car from our apartment. All the logistics were seamless and it was an utterly stress-free way of visiting the zone. I would highly recommend the two day tour as we had the opportunity to see more and at a more reasonable pace. I can honestly say that this was a once in a lifetime experience which I will never forget.
