Great tour to Laguna Esmeralda with great spots and explanations along the way - Our guide was amazing! She was funny, knowledgeable and was looking after everyone to ensure they are doing fine. We stopped at some beautiful spots along the way and got great explanations. When we went up to the Laguna it was a manageable walk but it took us some time. The guide was always checking in and encouraging us. At the top we had some time to take pictures and enjoy the lunch we got from them. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great day trip to beautiful mountains outside of La Paz - We are so glad we went on this day trip with Feel Bolivia, we really enjoyed the day! Booking in their office was straight forward. Our guide, Patty was very good providing plenty of information in English and Spannish. We made several stops along the way, the scenery was beautiful. We were lucky it had snowed the day before. The emerald lagoon and surrounding mountains were well worth the trip! The hike was ok, not too lengthing or too steep. Patty was a very good guide going up. I would highly recommend this as a day trip from La Paz!

A beautiful day in the mountains - We were picked up at our hotel on time. In the minibus we went up into the mountains. The hike starts at 4600m and there are 400 meters of altitude to overcome. We made it in just over an hour. The path is sometimes a bit steep and the altitude makes the ascent even more difficult. But everyone got to choose their own pace. We were up after about 70 minutes. The landscape is fantastic and the lagoon a real highlight. Guide and driver were nice and accommodating.

Unique experience in the mountains - I loved the Guide Gloria, always attentive and concerned about the group. He accompanied us throughout the trekking, in addition to taking several photos. Despite my difficulty with attitude, I managed to reach the emerald lagoon thanks to the help of the Guide and some colleagues. Unique experience

Beautiful hike en good english-speaking tourguide - Beautiful hike to laguna Esmeralda and some nice stops on the way. It wasn’t touristic and no touristtraps along the way which we really appreciated. The guide was very helpful and spoke english. He had lots of cool photo ideas at lake esmeralda for us and took the photos of us. The lunch (cheese empanada, banana and cerial bar) was a nice surprise. Would recommend.

Magical place. - The place is beautiful. The Guide was attentive during the climb, but the vehicle was very tight making the ride quite uncomfortable.

Recommended - The tour agency is very caring and nice, I was sick on the day of the tour and they allow me to reschedule it to the day after on a very short notice! When we began the hike, it was 1 hour up, 1 hour chill by the lake and 30 minutes down, we were back to the city a bit past 2PM; However, probably due to I was still a bit sick, it took me 1.5 hours to go up, so I only have 30 minutes by the lake, and the way down I also felt a bit rush; therefore, my only suggestion will be maybe allow more time to the lake, cause there is no reason to be back to the city that early ;)
