    I discovered Zebra Fisgona Tours completely by chance while stumbling across their YouTube channel, and I was immediately captivated by their videos and the great energy and authenticity they transmit. That same positive feeling carried through the entire experience once I decided to book with them. Everything was absolutely flawless and smooth from the very beginning. From the moment I first contacted them, their communication was attentive and thoughtful, with careful follow-ups that made everything very easy and comfortable. They were also incredibly kind and flexible when I had to make a short-notice change of plans, which I truly appreciated. I booked the “Rent a Local Friend” option and had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Juani. She took me through the Mercado de Paloquemao and La Candelaria, and we even had lunch together. We shared stories, laughed a lot, and she was always very friendly, attentive, and open to all my questions and curiosities. The time honestly flew by, and I wished we could have spent even more hours together. What makes Zebra Fisgona special is that they are not typical tourist guides — they truly feel like friends who happen to be incredibly knowledgeable. You can clearly see how much they love their city and how passionate they are about sharing it. Their love for Bogotá comes through in everything they do, and it makes the experience feel genuine and memorable. It was an absolute pleasure, and I am 100% sure I will reach out again if I come back to their beautiful city, Bogotá. Muchísimas gracias y con mucho cariño, Laura

    Alejandra was the best! She was so informative & such a great story teller! The historical landmarks were so interesting and to get the stories behind them was just awesome. One of the sites was under renovation so she pivoted to what we wanted to experience! It was very thoughtful and totally appreciated! Alejandra was such a perfect tour guide for us, and she got to know us in order to cater to us and what we wanted to experience in this excursion. Definitely a great company to seek for other excursions they offer too! Thank you for such an amazing time!

    I booked a city walk with my girlfriend with hidden gems and our guide Andrea Izquierda was fantastic. She was very sympathetic, competent and brought us closer to Bogota from many sides. She answered all our questions with a lot of knowledge and patience and we would have loved to have been with her all day. The 3.5 hours were over far too quickly. This tour is a "must" for people interested in the real Bogota.

  • A truly personal tour!

    We took the tour of Candelaria with Juani on our first day in Bogota and what a start to our holiday! Juani started by asking what our interests were so that she could tailor the tour to our liking. We walked through the streets of the Candelaria area where Juani talked us through the history of the people of Bogota and Colombia, explaining both important landmark moments in Colombian history as well as anecdotes of local Bogotanos and their impact on the city and country. She took us for a pit stop at a local cafe where we tasted Colombian coffee as well as cacaos while listening to the coffee history of Colombia. Juani also recommended us places to go for drinks and dinner, her recommendations were spot on! Juani was a fantastic guide and we highly recommend this tour!

    The tour was great. Andre felt like a friend who was showing us around. The tour was very personal and we learned a lot. We also loved that it wasn’t rushed. We moved at a very comfortable pace. Andre answered all of our questions as well.

    Zebra Tours was really great! My mother and I took two tours- La Candalaria with Aleja and the Salt Cathedral with Vivi. Both guides were awesome- it was like exploring places with extremely knowledgeable friends. Totally worth every penny for tailored private tours. If I am ever in Bogota again (I hope so!) I will 100% book with Zebra again. Thank you- Aleja and Vivi you made the experiences that much more memorable and special.

  • The heart of our Bogotá experience!

    The highlight of our trip! Four of us did a private Candelaria Tour: Hotspots and Hidden Gems with Juani from Zebra Fisgona and it ended up being the heart of our Bogotá trip. I’m not usually one for guided tours, but this wasn’t that. Spending a few hours with Juani felt less like ticking off tourist boxes and more like being welcomed into a city by someone who genuinely loves it, and wants you to love it, too. From the start, Juani had this warmth that immediately made us feel like we were reconnecting with an old friend. She wasn’t just reciting facts or leading us around. She listened, engaged us in conversation, got a feel for who we were, and then seamlessly customized the experience around us. And those “hidden gems”? Not just a marketing phrase. I pride myself on doing research before traveling, but Juani took us to corners of the Candelaria I wouldn’t have found. Places that don’t show up on travel blogs or Instagram just yet, but should because of the stories they carry. There were moments that were touching, exciting, even unexpected- in the best way. I walked away not only knowing more about Colombian culture, but feeling more. It gave me new layers of appreciation I’m still thinking about. Our time in Bogotá wouldn’t have been the same without Juani and the Zebra Fisgona team. Even beyond the tour, her thoughtful restaurant recs and local insights continued to shape our days. This wasn’t just a highlight of our trip, it was the heart of our Bogotá experience.

  • Like a zebra in a herd of horses, these tours certainly stand out with curiosity and wonder!

    We spent two days with Juani of Zebra Fisgona tours on our recent trip to Bogota! All I can say is WOW! She made this city come to life for us. She covered history, she covered the present, she helped us feel Bogota! I booked our group of 8 people for two customized tours. Our first day we toured Mount Monserrate and the Gold Museum. The next day we tour the Candelaria unveiled tour. But it wasn't just the tours that were great. She explained the gastronomy of the area, introducing us to things like hot chocolate with cheese (a must try), amazing pastries, a huge variety of local fruits, and gave us wonderful dining recommendations. Do yourself and favor and book a tour or two or more with Zebra Fisgona (curious Zebra for those who are wondering). Like a zebra in a herd of horses, these tours certainly stand out with curiosity and wonder!

  • Take tours with this company! I am serious!

    What a lovely experience. Aleja walked us around Candelaria and told us about the history of Colombia. It was pouring rain during our tour, but Aleja was so wonderful, it didn't matter. She clearly cares deeply about Colombia and that shone through the stories she told us and the sites we saw. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn about Colombia in a more personal, impactful level. I look forward to taking another tour with her in the future when I return.
