Why choose Geodyssey for Venezuela

Geodyssey is the UK's leading travel company for Venezuela.

Our experience in designing trips to Venezuela, our up-to-date and in-depth understanding of the country, and our local network within Venezuela to support our customers during their holiday, are all second to none.

Gillian Howe, Geodyssey’s Managing Director, fell in love with Venezuela when she visited the country for the first time in 1990. She has since lost count of the many times she has returned to find more to discover and explore.

Her complete passion for the country is reflected in the comprehensive service Geodyssey provides for Venezuela. You will find that there is no other travel company in the UK who has such up-to-date and in-depth understanding of the country. Together with the support of a fantastic local network, Geodyssey can provide the very best that Venezuela has to offer.

The true testimony comes from our clients who tell us time and time again that we have matched their expectations entirely. A staggering 98% of clients who return from Venezuela rate their trip as 'excellent'. We take great care from the very early stages to plan each trip together with you, taking into account your requirements and interests.

Our Venezuela brochure, the latest in a long line of in-depth brochures we have produced on Venezuela over the last 15 years, is by far the most comprehensive produced by any travel company anywhere. By focusing only on Venezuela, we hope to provide a real feel for what is unique and special, and the very different ways in which the country can best be visited, explored and enjoyed, with the best value for money too.

We span the wide range of styles that Venezuela offers: touring staying in comfortable lodges, fabulous alternative beach places, distinctive honeymoons, opportunities to discover Venezuela’s impressive wildlife, rugged treks and expeditions that go deep into wilderness areas, diving trips, and specialist birdwatching holidays.

For independent travel, with or without a guide, our brochure and this website provide a wide selection of sample itineraries for you to choose from, or you can ask us to design a holiday that is tailor-made to suit your tastes and budget.

We also run three small group holidays to Venezuela with fixed departures throughout the year, where you can join up to a dozen people travelling with a guide. Our fair-price policy means no local payments and no single supplements if you are willing to share.

Our philosophy remains to support local economies wherever possible, for example by staying at locally-owned hotels and guesthouses, and employing local guides. We try to minimise any harmful impact on the environment or on local cultures, and to encourage conservation wherever we can.

We have been the UK’s leading specialist for Venezuela for a decade or more and we are always looking for the best new ideas and opportunities. We are usually the first to offer hotels, lodges and posadas that have reached a good standard and have something special to offer, and we closely monitor them subsequently. No wonder Conde Nast Traveler’s ‘Truth in Travel’ campaign chose Geodyssey as their ‘Special Agent’ for Venezuela.

We are not an ordinary travel company and we hope you will find that this website offers more than you will find from an ordinary tour operator. How did we get our information? By travelling in Venezuela widely and often, by being in close contact with local people in each region, by asking our clients to report back to us when they return, and simply by being the only company in probably the whole of Europe that spends every weekday (and a few others besides!) making arrangements for people to visit mainland Venezuela.

When you are deciding where to go for your next holiday you’ll want to turn to someone who really knows the area you’d like to visit. For Venezuela, we hope you’ll choose Geodyssey.

“We had a wonderful honeymoon and felt like royalty, especially in Margarita. The mix of three locations was perfect and we didn’t have to worry about anything because it was organised well. Could not fault it one bit – thank you.” Mr & Mrs Gascoyne

"This was an excellent holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed all the elements of the trip. We had a good time with you in Costa Rica and a good time with you in Venezuela – it’s a pity you don’t organise trips to other parts of the world as I know the arrangements would be faultless. It really was amazing how all the disparate parts came together and there was always someone waiting for us on arrival anywhere. The people we met were without exception helpful, friendly and informative.” The Hall Family

“5 star organisation for everything” The Stevens family

“Could not believe how smoothly the arrangements went! Thank you. Excellent guides – made a big difference having someone who spoke English and had such a good knowledge of everything – this made our holiday really special.” Judith Booth

“Thank you for an amazing experience in Venezuela. It couldn’t have been better and the guides were simply fantastic.” Jackie Kearns

“This was a fantastic trip which was organised and coordinated by Geodyssey to perfection. I can happily say it was the ‘trip of my life’ so far! Thank you” Tom Wheeler
