waste of time. - They offer scam tours. The description has a program, but then the reality is totally different. This can be easily verified. Don't waste your money, and especially your time.

scam tour. The city is not abandoned anymore. - The tour is a scam. The city is fully inhabited again since 2016-2017, and people are living their lives normally. This can be easily verified. Don't waste your money, and especially your time. It has no interest at all. The travel tour operator knows this and hides it on purpose, so I wouldn't trust their tours in general.
El tour es un engaño. La ciudad esta habitada de nuevo al completo y la gente hace vida con total normalidad.Se puede comprobar facilmente. No perdais el dinero, y sobre todo el tiempo. No tiene nada de interes.
El operador lo sabe y lo oculta a proposito, así que no me fiarñia en general de los tours que ofrece.
