Truly Like Having a Local Friend - This experience was excellent and exactly what I was looking for! I wish this service existed in every city that I travel to! From the beginning, Caro helped me plan my perfect itinerary over WhatsApp. I booked a 6 hour WITH car tour. Caro helped me narrow down what I was interested in, and perhaps more importantly what I was NOT interested in, and after about a week sent me a personalized schedule. When I ended up adding another person to my tour, they accommodated that without issue. And when my friend and I decided we wanted to switch a couple things around in the schedule, that was handled easily, as well! Caro was great at explaining why particular activities or spots were chosen, and even offered alternatives. We were met at our hotel by our friendly guide Felipe. He walked with us to a car that had a hired driver. On my tour, we went to Paloquemao market to try a dozen different fruits I'd never even heard of before, arepas, empanadas, 6 different juices, and lechona. Everything was delicious, and I highly recommend visiting this place, though you need to come hungry! We went to the Gold Museum next, and Felipe was great at guiding us through the museum, explaining the exhibits and highlighting the important pieces along the way. We next went to Chorro de Quevedo, and tried chicha in a little cafe because my friend wanted me to try it. We also stopped at another delicious cafe for some milhoja, which is my friend's favorite dessert. We visited Fragmentos (an art gallery commemorating the peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC guerillas), where Felipe explained the history of several conflicts in Colombia's history, then led us through some of the art exhibits which were very moving. Our tour ended near Bolivar Square. Normally, you would get dropped back off at your hotel, but due to how many activities we wanted to squeeze in, we communicated to both Caro and Felipe that we were ok being left away from the hotel if it meant we got to do all the other things we wanted to do. All in all, this was a perfect way to spend a day in Bogota! The planning leading up to it made it perfectly tailored to me and my friend, and the day of was seamless! Feel free to chat with the organizers like Caro as much as you want to get everything planned out perfectly, as well as to answer any questions or worries you have. For example, they helped me figure out how much cash I should have on hand in order to pay for the multitude of activities that we did. In general, I would recommend this highly. I would also recommend booking well in advance, so that way there is plenty of time for Zebra Fisgona to communicate with you to chat back and forth about your perfect itinerary. Besides that, someone like Caro would be much better able than me to answer any questions you may have!

Amazing experience in Bogotá - I had the fortune to have Aleja guide me around Bogotá for two full days through Zebra Fisgona’s Rent-a-Friend program. I had an amazing time and can’t rate them highly enough. Before traveling, I had sent them some info about my likes, things I wanted to see, and my general interests. Aleja set up the days perfectly while still allowing some flexibility if I wanted to change something up. Visiting markets, Paloquemao and La Perseverancia, with her was incredible as she seemed to know everyone. She knew exactly where to get the best food and what was good to try. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Bogotá and Colombia. I had an absolute blast playing Tejo as well. She even took me to a special place for beer as I’m a craft beer geek and to the special Fragmentos memorial (which you should be sure to visit - I don’t know how an empty room can be so powerful). She really enabled me to do and see everything I wanted to efficiently and with so much knowledge and fun. I wouldn’t have been able to see nearly what I did on my own. If you ever get the chance to visit Bogotá, jump at the chance and jump at the chance to use Zebra Fisgona as your guide.

Unforgettable Times in Bogota with Zebra Fisgona - I am still thinking about how much fun I had with Zebra Fisgona while visiting Bogota. I first found out about them through their wonderfully thoughtful, entertaining, and informative YouTube videos. When I saw they had a Rent a Friend option, it was an easy decision to take advantage. I opted for two truly amazing tours with the Zebra Fisgona team: One tour exploring Bogota (including a fruit tour) then another longer tour exploring Guatavita Lake, the Salt Cathedral, followed by a dinner at world famous restaurant Andres. The team was even kinder, more authentic, and more hilarious in person. These guys actually get recognized on the streets by other tourists and visitors, such is the popularity of their videos. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to reach out to Zebra Fisgona when you are traveling to Colombia!

The only way to see Colombia - This is by far the best way to see Bogota with and through the eyes of a local, who knows the information and loves where they are from. Fully customizable, and over the top dedicated to satisfaction. My experience with Aleja was one that made me sad I needed to leave the country as I would stayed to continue to tour over and over again. Her quick wit and compassion for local humans and animals in the community made me feel right at home. During my stay, I had great communication prior to arriving ease of connection once in country and such a joyful time on my tour . Additionally, my guide Aleja was flexible and able to adjust to accommodate my needs! I absolutely loved Montserrat, la Candelaria art, and the food market, not to mention the delicious food and café ! Rent a friend is the only way to go!!!

Perfect way to see Boogata - Juan was the perfect guide. We let them know our interests, and they put together the perfect agenda. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we felt safe. We went to lunch afterwards, and he told us what to order for traditional food. Gracias a Juan.

Super reckmended.. - We rent a friiend and we went to the market in paloquemao. I had my doubts at the beginning and i thought maybe we can do ourself, but i was wrong. We did the tour with 2 teenegaers and everybody was so happy that we did the tour. We tried so many different fruits and experience the kindness of the people in the market as well as from Juani. We fully recomended, a learning experience, the knowledge of the culture and the beautiful people. Thanks a lot for everything 😘

Rent A Friend from Zebra Fisgona is perfect day spent in Bogota - This was a wonderful experience. I first got introduced to Zebra Fisgona from their YouTube channel and just loved their energy. Plus I like people who try and start their own entrepreneurial spirit. I was a little sad that Aleja or Juani was not going to be my tour guides, but at the same time, super happy that they are growing so fast that they have to hire additional guides. Way to go girls! With that being said, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Vivi. She was amazing and doing everything she could to make me feel seen and heard. I don't like typical "Touristy" stuff. I want the "LOCAL" experience and that is what she provided me. She had a crap ton of information to give me about every corner of Bogota that we went to. Not only was she super sweet and kind and personable. She went the extra mile and brought me a spoon and a knife so that we could sample many many many fruits that I have never experienced before. Truly an amazing experience and highly recommend Renting A Friend experience from Zebra Fisgona. Bogota turned into my favorite experience after seeing Manizales, Medellin and Cartagena. Great job Juani and Aleja!!! And especially Vivi.

Bogotá and surroundings - I had an absolute blast on this tailored trip. Juani could explain a lot about all the sites we visited and was always flexible enough for a last moment change of plans. One group member travelled with her before but for me it was the first time with a travel guide and I have to say it was a very good experience. Highly recommended!

Personal, flexible, spontaneous - I truly made a friend in both my guide and with the city of Bogota! - Can I give 6 stars? How about 10? Vivi was SPECTACULAR! Kind, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and effortlessly a pleasure to have with you all day. My friend and I chose the “rent a friend” plan as we weren’t exactly sure what we wanted our trip to look like, and Vivi made it perfect. We started at the Paloquemao market for a fruit tour, and it was clear that she had great relationships with all of the vendors we met who greeted her with a smile and warm words. Her expertise was superior, helping us understand fruits we had never even heard of! By the time we were done, we weren’t sure what we should do next, but having got to know us and our itinerary while we were there, she knew just where to take us - the Ocio gallery in La Macarena As it had only opened six months earlier, we never would have found such a gem without her. She so quickly understood us, or tastes and rhythms - she made it a perfect day. I truly feel like I made a friend.
