We did send rovers to Venus but its so hot that they just melt after some minutes or hours so it's financially unattractive to spend 100's of millions to get 5 hours on venus surface (numbers are kinda madeup, but should be close enough)
Edit: I checked and the Rekord of a Rover on the surface of Venus is 127minutes while opportunity for example lasted 15 years... Quite a bit of a difference
