I'm Mykhailo Teslenko
an official private guide in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. My entire life is connected to it. I was born in a village, which is now a part of the Zone, I worked in Chernobyl, and for many years I organise tours for tourists, professional photographers, journalists and for official delegations.
I specialise
on a private tours, where you can decide, what you want to see, where spend more time, or maybe skip something. It’s the tours at your pace, according to your wishes. I will be happy to welcome you in Chernobyl Zone and I hope it will take its special place in your heart, as it has in mine.
Pricing Table
Only if it is a photo tour for a group of photographers I will take care and arrange everything for a big sized group up to 17 people. I underline and stress on privacy, individual approach, informative, detailed explanation and excitement of exploration process to the top places during our trip plus absolutely friendly atmosphere!
And all this is just for a reasonable price!
There are 3 options of tours that I offer:
- One-day private trip with routes where we will not meet other tourists.
- Two days private trip (the best option) to get more detailed overview of life in the exclusion zone at present times with overnight at one of Chernobyl hotels.
- Three – five days trip – designed for photographers. Pripyat ghost town, Duga, unfinished cooling towers and many other places are real dream spots for urbex and urban photo explorers. Overnight at one of Chernobyl hotels is included.

Firsthand knowledge and experience
I’m a journalist who took a two-day tour of the Exclusion Zone with Misha earlier this year for a story I was writing. I was (and continue to be) consistently impressed with how much he knows about the area, nuclear power, and the 1986 disaster. If you decide to go to Chernobyl – which, by the way, I think you should – you will not regret having Misha as your guide!
Together with our tour guide Mykhailo we spent 6 days in the exclusion zone. A fantastic experience to photograph here. Mykhailo put our wishes in a schedule, he was well prepared and knew which locations we would like to visit and what can be seen there. A great experience with a super guide.
Thank you Mykhailo.
Excellent tour guide! We are quite shy people but Mikhail made us feel comfortable and welcomed. He’s very knowledgeable of the area and can answer anything you ask. Not your average tour, tailored to what you want to see and not what you have to see. We will be returning in the future!
I highly recommend booking a private tour with Mykhailo.
The flexibility, the quality of service and attention are definitively better than group tours.
Also Mykhailo is very knowledgeable and will plan the tour according to your personal interests and schedule.
