I chose to go w/ JC Travel b/c they had the best price and I liked that I can visit the 3 main cities--Kyiv, Lviv, and Odessa. I wanted to go visit the Holodomor during their remembrance day and Julia (the owner) did everything she can to accommodate me w/ during COVID mandates in Ukraine. She even reminded me when to get my COVID test done b/c you can't get it done too soon or too late esp when my travel time was like 28 hours. I also had to buy COVID health insurance as well, but it was really cheap (11 days for about 12 USD). All her tour guides and drivers were very helpful as well. I can't say enough good things about them. They really take good care of you. Now, why Ukraine? Ukraine is one of the countries open for travel for Americans during COVID and also b/c I love history. I didn't realize this but you get so much for your money traveling here than you would in other parts of Europe, including Russia. Kyiv has a lot of history w/ Russia/USSR (Kyiv also accept USD there btw) and another 2 hours up north is the Chernobyl nuclear plant (Pripyat), which most Americans don't know about unless they have HBO. Pripyat is an abandoned city that was once filled w/ so much life and dreams of a better future.. (Imagine being told to leave your home NOW and never see your home and valuables again b/c they would be looted or liquidated). The stray dogs are also wonderful. There were at least 3 dogs that act as a guide. I saw one of them leading another group and then another two that later found us and then later found our driver. I feel like you can't get lost in Pripyat Then there's Lviv if you want that European feel to it for less than half the cost. Odessa is by the Black Sea and its history is much more diverse. I had such a great time shopping and eating great food. Even though COVID makes life harder (b/c I hate masks and lockdowns), I'm so glad I chose Ukraine and was able to make it out here before our stupid mayor and governor told us we can't travel. Anyway, I would really recommend JC Travel. Julia is very organized and always there for you. Her guides speak very good English and you really get that first class treatment w/ this tour company!

My friends, who are fond of traveling, when they found out that I am on business in Ukraine, advised me to visit Chernobyl. I had a day off and decided on this adventure. This tour exceeded all my expectations! Excursion to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is one of the most exciting experiences for every adventurer, traveler, and photographer. The tour was well organized: the meeting place was easy to find. During a two-hour trip by bus from Kyiv, which took us to the exclusion zone, we were provided with information about the history of the tragedy and the safety rules that must be followed. Volodya's guide coordinated with other groups so we wouldn't have to cross paths and could take pictures without people. It was a very impressive, exciting, and informative tour. And safe. I saw a very special world and learned a lot about the Chernobyl disaster, as well as people's lives until 1986. The trip to Chernobyl helped me to understand more deeply how the world I live in, to rethink my life from a broader perspective, and hopefully change it for the better.
