We visited Caracas on the Dawn in 03/02, took the Murano Glass Factory tour with a tour of an old house (can't remember whose) anyway travel on your own is not recommended. We saw armed guards all over the place. We did enjoy this tour, took us through Caracas and up into the hills, got to see all kinds of things. The drivers are crazy, no one has a drivers license and only a handful of cars are registered.
