My guide was amazing
My guide was amazing! He made the entire experience memorable and informed me really well on what to expect as well as options I had available. Our meal after was also amazing! One of the best meals for my entire trip

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of getting a Sak Yant in Chiang Mai, Holden!
We’re thrilled to hear that Noi made your experience with Ajarn Rung so memorable and that his guidance helped you feel informed and comfortable throughout the process.
It’s also fantastic to know you enjoyed the meal afterward — what a great compliment that it was one of the best of your trip!
We’re truly honored to have been part of such a meaningful experience and hope to welcome you back again in the future. Safe travels and blessings always! 🙏🌏
This was a wonderful tour
This was a wonderful tour. Everyone in the group loved the experience. We all got to participate in making the cheese and loved talking to the family. This was a very cultural experience. Tour guide was very friendly and even took us to other places afterwards so we could get the most out of our trip. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Andrea! We’re delighted to hear that you and your group enjoyed the Oaxaca Cheese Making Experience with Doña Rosa and found it to be such a meaningful cultural activity. It’s wonderful that everyone had fun participating in the cheese-making process and connecting with the family. We’re also thrilled to hear that Octavio made your day even more special by helping you explore more of the area afterward. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you and your group back for another adventure in the future! 🌟🧀

If you’re ever back visiting us from down under, we’d love to welcome you again to explore even more of Mexico’s deep cultural beauty and diversity. Or perhaps we can share an adventure closer to home, in Thailand, the Philippines, Borneo, or beyond! 🌏✨ Happy travels, until next time!
Sak Yant
I booked in for my Sak Yant through WSE & they had very good customer service - they were flexible in allowing me to change my mind on my Ajarn Master which i really appreciated. Lots of information provided re: preparing for the day and experience, aftercare etc. Ajarn Dej was amazing. Could sense that he was very real and genuine and as soon as he started tattooing me i felt a sense of calm. Noi was wonderful and upbeat - thank you both. Was a wonderful experience and couldn't be happier with the result of my Sak Yant or the experience.

It’s wonderful to know that Ajarn Dej’s authenticity and calming presence resonated with you and that Noi’s upbeat energy made the day even more special.
We’re so happy you love the result of your Sak Yant and are honored to have been part of this unforgettable experience. Safe travels and blessings always, may your sak yant bring you the luck and enchantment you wished for! 🙏✨ Until next time!

Nice experience, good value
Joined this experience to learn more about Day of the Dead in Oaxaca. It was nice to connect with other visitors and locals. The group was large (about 40 people). Only one lead/guide was not enough.
Food and drinks were served. The dance exhibition needed a better venue than the sidewalk.
When we made it to the Pantheon General, I expected to visit the pantheon of the family member of the lady that gave the short talk. The translation by the guide did not really cover all the beautiful things she said and the history she talked about. The effect was lost in translation, which is a shame.
Overall a good experience that needs improvement.
Thanks!

Two amazing tours in Oaxaca
We had two amazing tours in Oaxaca from Where Sidewalks End. The alebrije tour was a great way to get to know the craft of making alebrijes. We then got to paint our own. And we did a cheese making tour - delicious cheese and got to learn about the process. We had two great tour guides and two great experiences!

Would highly advise against wheresidewalksend based on my experience.
Very disappointing experience, lack of communication and way too expensive. When I reached out to them there was a deafness in their response that was highly disappointing.
Wouldn't recommend to anyone but rather finding someone local for tour (there are a lot of other options in the main square at or leading up to day of the dead - very easy to find) that will work out better for families or solo travelers.

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Our team strives to provide clear communication and support, and we made every effort to share detailed information about the event. All emails, including the meeting location and event reminders, were sent to the email address you provided at the time of booking, and our email server confirms they were successfully delivered. You seem to be the only one from the event of 40 people who didn't receive them, and probably deleted it from your junk folder accidentally - mistakes happen. We understand how frustrating it must be to feel unheard, but when you reached out 30 minutes after the event had already started, we immediately responded and invited you to join us, as you were only a few block away from the event space, to which you refused, and started making threats to our staff via email.
We sincerely regret that you felt disappointed, but we hope you understand that given our commitment to the local staff running the event (yes, this was a locally designed and run tour), the locally owned venue, and preparations and purchases for your reservation which were already made, we were unable to accommodate your refund request for a no-show, even after multiple emails had been sent to you well in advance of the event. Our terms and conditions, which you acknowledged during booking, clearly state this policy.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback and will continue to improve our services and communication, though can't be held accountable for unread emails that are sent to you. Thank you for considering us, and we hope your time in Oaxaca was still memorable.
Deeply disappointing day of the dead experience
We joined them for a day of the dead experience where we were hoping it would be a somewhat intimate group of people celebrating the lives of their lost loved ones.
What we experienced was three hours in a restaurant being served incredibly mediocre food. We then placed photos of our lost loved ones on a pathetic preparation of an alter and walked to the pantheons.
This was a complete waste of our time and money and deeply disappointed us.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the Day of the Dead event did not meet your expectations.
Our aim is to provide a meaningful and culturally immersive experience, highlighting the deep-rooted traditions of Día de Muertos. The three-hour portion at the restaurant is dedicated to sharing the history and significance of the celebration, offering guests the chance to connect with locals who share their personal stories and connections to the holiday. Traditional food is served as a complement to the experience, not the main focus, and we’re glad to see that other guests have enjoyed it, though we respect that it may not have met your expectations.
The altar creation and pantheon visit are meant to offer an understanding of how Mexicans honor and remember their lost loved ones. We strive to create a respectful and heartfelt experience, but it’s clear we may have missed the mark for you.
We value all feedback and would welcome any specific suggestions on how we could improve. While we are sad that the experience did not resonate with you as it has with other guests, your input helps us grow and ensure we offer the most meaningful and engaging events possible.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

Everything went so smoothly
Everything went so smoothly. The driver kept me updated on everything and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The tattoo process and the discussion with the monk went very smoothly and I got all the information I needed. When I am back in Thailand I am definitely going back with this company for another tattoo.

Another Great Sak Yant Experience
I recently had my third Sak Yant session with Ajarn Rung through WSE, and it was another exceptional experience. I was pleased to have Khun Noi assist me, which made the process even more comfortable. My three friends, who I booked for their Sak Yant sessions during this visit, also had wonderful experiences. The team handled everything with professionalism, and I truly felt the deep significance of the Sak Yant ritual with Ajarn Rung. I will definitely be returning for future sessions. Highly recommended!

A lifetime memory
So I was taken by taxi from the city of Oaxaca to the outskirts to a farm maybe 45 minutes away. I had fun practicing my Spanish with the driver who also spoke English if need be. The Mescalero was absolutely fantastic we went out we looked at different types of agave cactus. And then finally I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how Mezcal is made because they took me through the process step by step. Plus I got to plant a Mezcal Cactus as well really cool :-) I really felt a connection to the Mescalero to the guide to the farm to the process it was absolutely a lifetime memory cannot recommend it enough. Oh and don't forget to bring a few extra pesos because for sure you're going to want to take some home :-)

Iban Longhouse Stay
The Iban Longhouse Stay was my second time booking with WSE (along with with the amazing Sak Yant experience in Chiang Mai) and I have nothing but good things to say about this company. These are authentic experiences designed for serious travellers looking to get off the beaten and commercial path. I did the 4 night stay, which included the unmissable camping/night hunt. If you have the time, absolutely make sure to join. If you don't, change your plans as it was one of the wildest and most incredible experiences of my travels so far. The families in the longhouse we're beyond welcoming, and very happy to have someone interested in learning about their way of life. And my guide, Chris, was as friendly and knowledgeable as he was badass. Would give beyond 5 stars if it was possible, and I promise you won't regret booking!

We’re also stoked that Chris made such an impression. He’s truly one of our best, combining deep knowledge (also being Iban himself helps with the extra mile) with that extra bit of adventure spirit!
Hearing how much you’ve enjoyed both this and your Sak Yant experience in Chiang Mai means the world to us. We can’t wait to help you plan your next off-the-beaten-path journey!
