To tour Chernobyl you book an official tour?
Yep, there are a few companies doing the tours. I booked a private one so that I could see more than with a bigger group, plus they're more relaxed with the rules.
I had the guide and a guide trainee with me. There was a loose russian group in Pripyat town square at the same time and suddenly the guide yelled "only Ukrainian women wear high heels in Pripyat". She didn't like the russians that much, and the trainee with us was wearing high heels
Obviously this was a too short visit to really learn anything about the country.
