Driving in Belarus is difficult and unless you are an experienced traveller in Eastern Europe we recommend that you fly. Very few drivers are insured and it is risky.
We can make arrangements for parties to met at Vilnius, Minsk or Warsaw with Belarusian travel companies contact AlatanTour at alatan@nsys.by - others will be added later.
The best way to get around is to hire a driver to escort you. The cost can be reasonably nominal when one considers that a normal wage is about £7 per week and petrol is cheap but please contact us with the details of your itinerary and we can most likely make private arrangements for you. Contact mike@chernobyl.org.uk for these plans.
