Overview

We believe travel is all about the people you meet and connect with, so we threw the script out the window to take you on a deep journey through La Candelaria. We will start by visiting the main landmarks in La Candelaria and discover the stories hidden behind them. Then, we will step aside from the touristic area and visit our favorite 4 hidden gems. Get to see the most touristic neighborhood through the eyes of locals, as we share with you our history, culture, current social and political situation and personal anecdotes. During this experience, we are here to answer all the questions you may have and give you great local advise, making it a perfect introduction to Bogota. Consider us your new Colombian friends! We look forward to meet you in our experience ;)

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

Published on Jan, 2025

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.

Best 2 tours I took in Bogota

Published on Nov, 2024

I have taken 2 tours with Zebra Fisgona, the Rent a Friend (I chose to go to Paloquemao for fruit tasting) and the La Candelaria walking tour. I took the first tour by myself, but when I mentioned how excellent Aleja was as a tour guide, other friends from our school decided to join me for the walking tour a week later. They were all so impressed - our tour was presented in English, since Aleja is fluent. Her knowledge of her city, country, culture, and local businesses is truly impressive - she answered almost every question with context and enthusiasm. She was willing to accommodate small changes (we arrived starving, and she knew the perfect empanada shop nearby). She negotiates on your behalf with each vendor or company, which makes everything so very easy. The Rent a Friend tour is as just after I arrived, and she provided me with invaluable advice about getting around Bogota. Plus a coffee shop that I fell in love with, where I studied every day (the staff were super patient with my awful Spanish). Unforgettable tours made this an unforgettable trip! And I know when I return, I’m definitely choosing another tour to learn more with Aleja or Juani. Looking forward to the new tour to the Pacific coast and Medellin !!

Historical Candelaria tour

Published on Jan, 2024

This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide Juanita is amazing. We learned a lot about the history of Bogota. She kept us interested in the topic and answered all our questions. Bring water and comfortable shoes to walk in. She also took us to a local coffee shop to taste genuine Colombian coffee. Delicious! We highly recommend it!
