“Visit in exceptional conditions in February 2019, 5 people (including Jonk who organizes). Great latitude for the visits, especially in Pripyat, where we had the city to ourselves, in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere. I must say that the first visit to Pripyat in the late afternoon, with the sun setting over a ghost town of 50,000 people, is indescribable. We practically left when it was dark. It is a very vast site and you have to make choices for the buildings to visit. I also have very fond memories of Chernobyl 2 (Duga), a vestige of the missile race between the West and the Soviet countries. And what about the last day, a visit to the holy of holies, the control room and reactor room No. 3 (right next to reactor No. 4), with a person from the plant. Jonk knows his subject. He has a lot of experience of Chernobyl and we feel confident. I recommend it!” Laurent, February 2019
“This is my 2nd trip there with Jonk and there are always something to see. The visit in a small group is always a plus compared to the big tour operators. There are not necessarily predefined tours, we have the possibility to visit what we want to see. I recommend it.” Morgan, February 2019 and May 2021
“It was short on paper, but we were extremely lucky to be able to visit everything in depth, with incredible freedom. I have never returned home with so many dizzying images in my memory, from the entrance to Pripyat which had become a forest to the monstrous Duga-1 radar.” Batiste, October 2019
“Fascinated by Chernobyl and post-apocalyptic imagery, I realize how lucky I was to be able to visit the Zone in such good conditions: in a small group, with almost total freedom of movement. With his many trips, Jonk guided our explorations (unmissable or unusual places, period frescoes and more recent graffiti, practical advice, etc.), without imposing anything, in a relaxed but respectful atmosphere of the place. In addition, I did not have to worry about the logistics (shuttle to the airport, checkpoints, accommodation, meals), all planned in advance. A memorable trip!” Arthur, October 2019
“I had been dreaming of going to Chernobyl for many years. The opportunity presented itself in the fall of 2019 thanks to a friend of a friend: Jonk. A perfect organization: a meeting at the airport in Paris, a flight to Kiev and then an arrival in Chernobyl. Thanks to his many trips, Jonk allowed us to discover the different facets of Chernobyl (school, hospital, homes, etc.) in one weekend, sometimes even off the beaten track. We even had the chance to visit some places unknown to tourists. An unforgettable trip thanks to a regular visitor. I recommend it!” Romain, October 2019
“Pripyat & Chernobyl are the Holy Grail of any amateur urbex photographer. I had been dreaming of a trip like this for 10 years and thanks to Jonk I made it happen! For a few years now, many tours are organized in the exclusion zone, but most agencies and tourist guides offer limited access to must-see and mythical places. It was such an incredible time that I can’t wait to travel again with Jonk if it is still possible in a year or two.” Christelle, September 2021
“Superb trip for these few days in the exclusion zone, well organized, happy to have seen it with my own eyes!” Pierre, September 2021
“Exploring the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the city of Pripyat, the power plant, the villages, is a unique, intense and emotional experience. Many thanks to Jonk for sharing his passion and his intimate knowledge of the site, essential for thwarting the mysterious access rules and various obstacles, and discovering the site in exceptional conditions. We had a very nice week, in good company, which makes you forget the improbable menus of the local gastronomy.” Géraud, September 2021
“I had an incredible experience during this trip, led by a person who knows the points of interest and the history of the places very well. Agile in the face of the vagaries of time, weather and others, I have absolutely no regrets! When are we going again?” Renaud, May 2021
“Jonk is an excellent organizer of tours in Chernobyl. The one I participated in was exceptional in several ways: the experience first, the site lives up to its history and our expectations. Then the organization, we just have to enjoy it, everything has been thought out in advance by Jonk to make our stay easier! The explanations, Jonk strives to tell us about the places we discover and his many stays there have allowed him to uncover treasures (old frescoes, unique places) that we would never have been able to find on our own. The experience is all the richer for it! Finally, the group, we didn’t know each other, but the good understanding was proven from the first dinner spent together.” Romuald, May 2021
“Amazing experience, a visit full of emotion, breathtaking. Thanks to Jonk for his great work!” Valérie, February 2019 and May 2021
“Fan of Urbex, I had dreamed of going to Chernobyl for years and I was lucky enough to meet JONK who allowed me to realize this dream. 5 days of immersion in the forbidden zone with a small group allowing the visit of many sites in complete safety and conviviality. His knowledge of the site and his connections allowed us, despite the last-minute changes to be integrated due to local constraints, to make these 5 days rich in discoveries. Thank you for this immersion that I can only recommend.” Emmanuel, September 2021
