It was winter cold, regardless a tour not to be missed. It was snowing and wind velocity was high but worth the visit to the top of the mountain. English tour guide Ray had the trip planned smoothly, no hiccups and timed the trains, gondola, itinerary and organized well. Enjoyed the young man’s explanations and patience on the whole tour and guidance. Will use this travel agency and Ray again.

We had a wonderful day chock full of memories. Jonas took care of us completely. He had everything planned but told us the day was ours to enjoy, no matter what we did or how much time we spent doing all the things that were part of the day. We were most comfortable knowing that we didn’t need to worry about train schedules, etc. It was totally stress free for us. We would totally utilize Venez in the future if our travels take us to France, Germany or Switzerland. We are happy we make to choice to do this day trip.
