Extremely Important!! We need every visitor's passport number and the date of birth at least 18 hours before the tour. This is the rule as Chernobyl is a restricted territory. If the information you provided us is different from what you show to the police at the checkpoint – you are likely to be denied the access. And we won't be responsible for that. Please check the information you sent us and if needed edit the details of your reservation.
Our on-line system allows you to perform the following actions by yourself:
Passport number edit – not later than 18 hours before the tour;
Add a person to your group – not later than 18 hours before the tour (admin approval is required);
Delete a person from your group – not later than 18 hours before the tour;
Change the date of the tour – admin approval is required if the new date is earlier than the original and is less than seven business days ahead.

Terms/Cancellation/Refund/Changes
Due to the nature of the Chernobyl Exclusion zone restrictions and visitors' application process we suggest our customers to book all the tours well in advance (at least 5 business days). It is important to provide us with accurate information and notify on time about any change of plans in order not to face a financial loss. The tour has an 18 years old age restriction.

Change of participants’ data (number and names) more than 4 days before the tour is free of charge. Please be advised that you are responsible for the accurate data you provide us with.

Our “pick-up” conditions. We can arrange a free pick up for groups of three and more people, if your location is within the central part of Kiev, and if you provide us with the address when booking or at least three days before the tour date. Please note that this provision does not include the drop off arrangements due to the usual evening traffic problems in the central part of Kiev. Otherwise, we can arrange a pickup at your location at extra USD 15.00 if you stay within the central part of Kiev and at extra USD 20.00 if beyond the limits of the central part. In this case, we will drop you off at your place after the tour.
