Thorough and fun

Published on Sep, 2024

Great gals, informative and entertaining. I'm from USA so it was very nice to walk and learn so much about this beautiful city.

Amazing tour

Published on Jul, 2024

We had an amazing tour of La Candelaria with Juani who was incredibly knowledgeable about Colombian history and culture giving so much depth to each stop on the tour which we truly appreciated. It’s worth noting she made the tour highly customizable so even if you have zero interest in history and just want instagram pictures she can tailor your experience to best meet your needs. For example we randomly passed a restaurant grilling a variety of meats, and Juani arranged for us to taste samples of all the different varieties after seeing our interest. She was also highly professional and an excellent communicator prior to and during the tour. She and Aleja patiently answered all our questions and even recommended the neighborhood where we ended up staying in Bogota as well as numerous other points of interest. So if you want to know why a beer is called a “Pola” and learn about the seamstress/spy heroine who inspired a nation, or if you want to take your senses on a smelling and tasting journey of cocoa and coffee or even if you’re just looking for the best street graffiti or perfect souvenir gift, do yourself a favor and BOOK THIS TOUR! I guarantee you will not regret it. These super friendly and knowledgeable guides will heighten your visit and make it a truly memorable experience!

Zebra Fisgona tours is a gem and the guides are not to be missed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Published on Jul, 2024

This is my 4th trip Colombia and my 3rd tour with Zebra Fisgona Tours. Alé & Juani are amazing guides, super fluent in English, even more awesome people. They both care about your wellbeing pre and post tour and that you really get to know Colombia and its culture. We’ve done tours in Candelaria, the Bogota farmers market & Coffee and Cacao tasting. The tours are very well organized, with great levels detail, always on time and full off fun facts. The little things that Ale does during tours, like sending a pic of her waiting for you so you know where to meet up, washing every piece of fruit we tasted, had hand wipes to wash between tastings, water, pacing tours with breaks on uphill climbs (thanks to the change in altitude), helped us choose a perfect a Uber pickup point in downtown. Ale is also like a mini celebrity, with make hugs from business owners and downtown friends. I’ve never experienced a more amazing tour in my travels around the globe, highly recommended!

Quite an Experience!

Published on Mar, 2024

Juanita, our guide, was waiting at the entrance by the elevator for us. She even sent her photo, so we'd recognize her. She explained more of the history of Columbia and Bogota as we drove to our destination in Candelária. Her English is impeccable. She took us to the coffee and cacao shop where we were to have our informative session. The trained baristas spoke only in Spanish, but she carefully explained all so well in English. We began with the cacao plant. It was broken and the seeds exposed. We learned about sucking on the membrane covering the actual seed. We tried the different stages of development to the final product. We were included in the process which made it more fun. We went on to the coffee production. The regions of production and types of coffee were carefully explained. We helped with the pressing of the coffee and could sample the two distinct types. The variances in prices were also carefully explained. I loved that Juanita, as a woman, is the owner. There are few women that own businesses in Bogota, or for that matter in many places of the world. She loves her country and praises its advances. She is ecologically sound. IF one is to take this tour, I recommend going with her.

Great tour of La Candelaria

Published on Sep, 2023

Juanita was my guide for this tour in La Candelaria and I couldn't be happier with the experience! It was one of my favorite tours I've done, Juanita did a great job of breaking down Colombian history which had previously been very confusing to me. The coffee and cacao shop was really great too! I tried one of the cacao drinks which was great, a very cool concept.
