Had a great time on the Chernobyl and Transnistria tour! Everything was done for me, and went smoothly with no complications at all. A wonderful experience and a company I would book with again without hesitation

I’ve been lucky to have had Shane as a guide for DPRK, Iraq and Kurdistan. He’s friendly, has good knowledge and is a great guide. You won’t regret going on tour with him.
