About Me

Matterhorn, Zermatt
Matterhorn, Zermatt

Looking to experience Switzerland beyond the postcards? I specialize in Switzerland travel planning built from firsthand experience, including a 9-day Haute Route trek across the Swiss Alps. From the mountain villages of Zermatt with iconic Matterhorn views, to the lakeside cities of Lucerne, Interlaken, and Montreux, I design itineraries that combine breathtaking scenery with authentic Swiss culture.

Whether you prefer luxury alpine hotels, boutique stays, hostels, or traditional mountain hut experiences, I create fully customized Switzerland itineraries for every travel style. I also help travelers experience Switzerland’s most iconic journeys, including the Glacier Express, Bernina Express, Jungfraujoch Top of Europe, Gornergrat Railway, Lake Geneva cruises, and hiking in the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

From scenic rail routes and alpine hiking to chocolate tastings and cultural city exploration, I design Switzerland vacations that are immersive, seamless, and completely tailored to each traveler.

London Trip
Reviewed By Sara C - Mount Laurel, NJ | Traveled to London | England | Europe
We had an amazing experience working with Jason V. at R5 Travel to plan our trip to London. This was our first international trip which was very daunting for us and Jason’s demeanor and professionalism immediately put us at ease. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to arrange our entire trip with just one month’s notice while staying within our budget. Jason was always available to answer our last-minute questions and made us feel supported every step of the way. Our flights and accommodations went seamlessly, and all of our tours were well organized. The information and itinerary provided were clear, concise, and easy to follow, which made our entire trip stress-free and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We highly recommend Jason V. and R5 Travel to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable travel agent. We can’t wait to book our next trip and we will definitely be using them again.

Fantastic River Cruise
Reviewed By Jeff V. - Cinnaminson, NJ | Traveled to Europe
My wife and I recently returned from an incredible river cruise on the Rhine and Moselle. We visited Amsterdam, Germany, Luxembourg, and Paris. Jason and the team at R5 Travel were fantastic from start to finish. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. We especially enjoyed being able to visit the local office near us in Maple Shade to discuss our trip in person. The staff all had been on multiple trips on river cruises themselves, so they were able to share firsthand knowledge, personal experiences, and tell us exactly what to expect. Jason helped arrange our airfare and transportation, including recommending a local limo company, so everything was taken care of from the moment we left our home all the way until we returned. They provided printed travel documents before departure, which were incredibly helpful while traveling, and we appreciated having an emergency number available should we have needed assistance. The personal service and attention to detail gave us great peace of mind throughout our trip. We highly recommend Jason and R5 Travel to anyone looking for a travel agent to help plan a Europe vacation or river cruise. We will definitely use them again!

    Why Switzerland is So Expensive

    When planning a trip to Switzerland, many people become overwhelmed with higher costs compared to other European destinations. So why is Switzerland so expensive to visit?   Switzerland feels expensive to visit because almost everything you do there is built around a very high standard of living.

    Family Vacation
    JVD was fantastic in scheduling the perfect package for our family. He and the whole team at R5 were dedicated to making sure we were well educated about the resort so we could have the best vacation ever! Will be using again!
    Marcie D.
    Sandals Curacao
    Sandals Curacao was an amazing experience for me and my wife. Top notch restaurants, drink services and entertainment. Every night has a different event and throughout the day you will most likely find yourself in the double-decker pool to stay cool. The entire island has plenty of tours including some of the worlds most picture perfect beaches. Downtown Willemstad is a must go for the shops and history of the island. R5 travel made our trip to this island perfect with flights, transport and the stay itself. Will definitely be using this company in the future for trips!
