You will meet leaders in the revolution among people in the barrios, small towns, missions and in government. You will be introduced to "real Venezuelans" who are empowered - people who govern themselves through participatory democracy, unlike anywhere in the world.
On a VSC Solidarity Tour you will have the opportunity to dine on authentic Venezuelan cuisine, enjoy comfortable lodging all in the surrounds of spectacular mountain scenery and stunning cityscapes. For many, these tours offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela during an unprecedented time in human history.
Over the coming years, Venezuela’s Bolivarian wave will be felt throughout Latin America and the rest of the world. You can be part of this amazing process. Witness for yourself the foreshadowing of this social and political renaissance of the 21st Century.
Since 2003 Venezuela has ...
Introduced free health and education for all
Discounted foods and medicines for Venezuelans

Eliminated Illiteracy
Redistributed land to 100,000s

The Bolivarian Revolution within Venezuela has emerged from enormous struggles over recent years and has built the engines of social justice and economic equality for all the people of Venezuela. As part of this work, they have welcomed expressions of international solidarity and encourage people from other countries to visit Venezuela and learn first-hand about their struggles and successes.
Testimonial
"Any reservations I may have had dissappeared by the 2nd Day. The whole trip, from beginning to end, was magnificent. To see so much in such a short time still makes my head spin." |

Normally, visitors from Britain face language difficulties in Spanish-speaking Venezuela. Our interpreters speak superb English and Spanish. They also have excellent relationships inside the government, unions and progressive organisations and a depth of understanding of the Bolivarian Revolution and of Venezuelan history that is unsurpassed.
No-one in the world offers tours of this nature and calibre.
