Best Personalized Tour Imaginable

Published on Mar, 2025

We utilized the Rent A Friend option for each of the days we were in Bogota and had the pleasure of being paired with Juan and Aleja. They helped us with translation since my Spanish is pretty remedial, and provide insight, perspective, history, and tremendous knowledge about every destination we visited. If you're new to visiting Bogota and the surrounding area, I would highly recommend the tours and services offered. You will not be disappointed, and you'll likely make a friend beyond your stay as we have.

We had a great time...

We had a great time exploring the city with Aleja. She made our experience great and was wonderful with our granddaughter.

great way to visit Bogota!

Published on Feb, 2025

so my wife and I went for 6 hrs on Wednesday with Alejandro. We ubered to the starbucks at the mall and walked to the daily pop up flower market in the parking lot outside of the produce market (stop #2). then we did cacao and coffee stops....fantastic! after the tour, we ubered to the Botanical garden; this is easily done by yourself. The yellow taxi ubers in Bogota are simple. we must have completed 15-20 rides in 2 and half days....we didn't feel unsafe anywhere. Bogota is a big city, treat it like a big city and don't be careless and you will love it. On Thursday we did 6hrs with Juani. The Candelaria district....you will see from the pictures we didn't miss any 'spots' in the district - we walked the majr portions of all of it.....fantastic. We went to the Gold Museum and then wrapped up the tour playing Tejo!! the tours are flexible - and easily evolve as the day moves on. Juani was very informative on the history and fun to be with for the day. We went to Parque 93 after for dinner and a stroll.....

Very tailored, friendly, engaging

I had the wonderful experience of the “rent a friend” tour. The process began with an exchange of emails to set the time and general plan — which by design is not precise. Juanita met me at the hotel and we discussed briefly the itinerary which we adjusted as we went. For me, I was not much into making decisions, so I left all the details to Juanita, and it was great! I learned so much and got to experience so much. Normally a ton of energy goes into figuring out where to go, how to go, when to go. Partnering with somebody that knows all that already was awesome. But more than that, Juanita was eager to tell the story of Bogotá and Colombia. Juanita was kind and engaging, personally so it was all conversation driven. Her English is perfect, but she was kind enough to speak with me in “slow” Spanish frequently at my request, and she taught me a lot of the cool words and expressions. Lol. After the tour I received a message following up on some questions and recommendations. It is clear introducing people to Bogotá and Colombia is a true calling, not a job, for the ZF team. I recommend highly.

Outstanding experience!

I did the Hire a Local Friend in Bogota tour with Andre and it was absolutely wonderful! Andre and I talked about what I wanted to do at the beginning of the day and then Andre took me to places that I never would have known about. The tour was better than I'd ever thought it would be and I strongly recommend Zebra Fisgona.
