Juani and Aleja of ZEBRA FISGONA TOURS
zebrafisgona.com were stupendous English speaking born in Bogota tour guides that instantly became friends of ours.
The outings we did were all cultural,inspirational,and most important local.
Did you know there are over 7 types of avocados ( aguacate)
Each with their own flavor, texture and taste?
Juani took us to local markets and we learned our stuff.
I went bike riding to the best markets on Sunday when streets close and bikes rule.
We went to Salt caves, hiking with waterfalls, a mountain retreat and a night club with such theatrics you must remember to close your mouth as your in suspense.
The girls knew just how to decipher what we would like and how much time would be right.
We also had the perfect driver who also shared his heart and soul. Juani has
his number. These are the people you NEED to see Bogota.
What you will pay is a fraction of the experience you will receive.
It’s more expensive NOT to have their guidance and fun filled joy of live personalities.
Tell Juani to wear her hat and whatever you do don’t wear Sandels in Bogota. You will look like a blaring tourist and a standout ( not in a good way ):)

I had the pleasure of experiencing not one, but two “rent a friend” tours with Zebra Fisgona Tours in Bogotá, Colombia, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The name says it all: I left feeling like Juani and Aleja are truly my friends - very different from the transactional tours you get with other companies. What’s more, they entertained my ask to have a tour in Spanish. I am not a native speaker, I am pure Gringo, but they gave me all the information in Spanish first, and when I got confused switched to English to make sure. It was just the immersive cultural experience I was after out here in beautiful Bogota.
The first tour took me through the historic La Candelaria zone. Alejandra, my first guide, brought the rich history of this area to life with her captivating stories and deep knowledge. From the colorful colonial buildings to the fascinating museums, every stop was a journey back in time. Alejandra's passion for history and her engaging storytelling made this tour unforgettable.
The second tour was a delightful bike ride across town on public bikes. Juanita led us through various neighborhoods, ensuring we saw both the well-known and hidden gems of Bogotá. Her enthusiasm and energy were infectious, making the ride both fun and informative. Navigating the city on bikes gave us a unique perspective and allowed us to cover a lot of ground effortlessly.
One of the highlights was the tour of the Chapinero zone, where we explored charming bookstores and enjoyed some of the best coffee in the city. This area is a haven for book lovers and coffee enthusiasts, and Juanita's knowledge of the best spots made the experience even more special.
Alejandra and Juanita are truly amazing guides. Their expertise, friendliness, and genuine love for Bogotá shone through in every aspect of the tours. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a fantastic time, and their personalized approach made each tour feel unique, not to mention, their recommendations of what to do outside the tour lasted me the entire trip.
If you're visiting Bogotá, don't miss out on the chance to explore the city with Zebra Tours. With guides like Alejandra and Juanita, you're guaranteed an enriching and enjoyable experience.

My first time going to South America (I’m originally from Indonesia). I’m so blessed to have Aleja taking me for food / market tour. I’m so impressed with Bogotá’s variety of local produce. And we tasted lots of delicious street food.
Thank you Aleja for everything, hope we can meet again!

We are SO happy that we booked Rent a Friend for our first day in Bogota. Aleja was absolutely incredible and we feel like we walked away from this experience with a new friend.
Aleja is so knowledgable and passionate about Bogota and Colombia and was genuinely fun to hang out with. We loved that we could set the itinerary and Aleja gave great recommendations beyond the few things we knew we wanted to see.
Do not hesitate to book a day (or two or three!) with them. It's the best way to get to know Bogota as a visitor.

This is the best decision I ever made and the only way to truly get a one of a kind experience. I would recommend this to anyone if you are in Bogota and want to experience the authentic local life but also see hidden gems that the other tours don’t know about you have to book them. I can’t say enough about how amazing of a tour this is. I will definitely do this again.

What can I say about Zebra Fisgona Tours other than wow! And THANK YOU! I reached out to them when I was just getting started on my Colombia trip plans and from the first email till I said good-bye to my Friend Juani it was just such a great experience. Alejandra was invaluable in helping me plan my two full days in Bogota. I really don't think I could have done without her. Juani was a fantastic guide/Friend and just so knowledgeable. From the fruit market to Monseratte to Plaza Bolivar to the Salt Cathedral (and absolutely everything in between) it was a top-notch experience. As a single, female traveler I really appreciated that ZFT is a woman-owned business. I would highly, highly recommend booking an excursion (or two) through ZFT. Again, just a WOW experience.

We had a great day in Bogota with Juanita on the Rent a Local Friend tour, we travelled with our two little boys so things had to be adjusted slightly to accommodate them and pushchairs but Juanita was very helpful and showed us all we wanted to see around Bogota. She gave us lots of advice and recommendations which was really useful for the rest of our time in Bogota, introduced us to loads of Colombian food and was great company. Thank you so much!

The best thing you can do in a foreign city is rent a local friend, give them a wishlist of what you want to see and then go with the flow. This tour consists of much more than the itinerary and is absolutely well worth the money spent. Aleja took me to places I couldn’t have found myself, and I learned and experienced more than I could have imagined. After the eight-hour tour, I felt confident and safe enough to continue the city exploration on my own for the next two days. With the practical tips Aleja gave me, the rest of my trip was also a great success.

Incredible experience! From the planning to the last minute of the tour, Juanita had the best attention to me and my family. He made us feel very safe at all times and the knowledge he has about the city, the history of Colombia and places to go, made us have the best experience in Bogota. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

My wife and I went with the ‘Rent A Friend’ tour option for our first day in Bogota and are extremely happy with that decision. The communication before the tour allowed us to share the types of things we like to do while traveling so the day we spent with Juani was crafted to exactly what we were looking for. We packed in WAY more in an 8 hour day than we would have on our own (and learned a lot along the way). Juani and Aleja are very knowledgeable Bogota locals and the pride they have in their city (and Colombia in general) shines through in everything they do. We were fortunate to spend the day with Juani and then meet Aleja later in the day- both great people working hard to give their customers the best possible experience. If you’re planning a trip to Bogota, I highly recommend the ‘Rent A Friend’ tour with Zebra Fisgona !
