RE: Entering the exclusion zone at Chernobyl, traveling back in time.

Wow an amazing blog, even I wish for a long time to get to Kiev and of course Chernobyl.
Did you ever feel unsafe visiting Chernobyl, what are the people like, and with which travel agency and how much did the visit cost you?
Cheers!

    Thanks for reading! I never felt unsafe, I knew a lot about the risks and the amount of radiation to know it was OK to visit for a few hours. Today it is even safer, as the former reactor is now covered.

    The people in Ukraine are very friendly and polite. In bars and restaurants they speak some English, but they prefer German as a foreign language.

    I did not use any travel agency as those did not exist at the time. Nowadays there are plenty like this one: https://chernobylvisit.com/
