Worst tour of my life
I did a Day of the Dead tour with Where the Sidewalk Ends and I feel like I was scammed by this tour, it was 3 hours long and we spent over 2 hours of that in a hot courtyard being lectured about the day. Everyone looked miserable and I saw someone fall asleep it was so boring. The guide walked us to the cemetery then left to look for other guests so the "tour" was only around 10/15min long. You essentially pay for a VERY overpriced and mediocre meal with terrible service. Ordered drinks that never came, multiple times they would start to serve our table and serve two people their meals then serve the entire rest of the tables and then come back to our table to say they had run out so we needed to wait for them to make more. I wasted my money on this and I wish I'd left to spare my time because it's not even worth going even if you don't get your money back. Awful experience, tourist trap for sure and I wouldn't ever recommend this group or this tour and if I met anyone planning to do it I'd probably tell them not to bother even going.

Hola Gerri, we’re very sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. The talks at the start of the evening are meant to help guests understand the meaning and traditions behind what they’ll later see in the cemeteries, fostering empathy and respect for local families. The food is prepared by a respected local woman-chef using traditional Oaxacan recipes, curated to share the authentic flavors of the season.
We wish you’d let us know during the event so we could have made things right at the time, but we’d still like the chance to do so now. Please message us directly so we can review your experience together.
Het was echt een geweldige ervaring
Het was echt een geweldige ervaring ! We werden opgehaald door een super aardige vrouwelijke gids die alles duidelijk vertelde wat er ging gebeuren. Heel blij dat ik dit gedaam heb.

Dank je wel voor je mooie woorden, ML. We zijn vereerd dat je ons hebt gekozen voor je Sak Yant-ervaring in Phuket. Het is fijn om te horen dat Khun Nuch je zo goed heeft begeleid en dat de dag duidelijk en comfortabel aanvoelde. We zijn dankbaar dat je dit bijzondere moment met ons hebt gedeeld en hopen je in de toekomst nog eens te mogen verwelkomen, in Thailand of daarbuiten.
The guide is essential for this once in a lifetime experience
The guide was so helpful in explaining everything to me and made sure that I understood everything that was needed for a very serious and scared experience!

The BEST Sak Yant Experience!
Our Sak Yant experience with our guide Wao and Ajarn Tu Nametta was beyond incredible! Wao was the perfect guide and translator, making sure we were accommodated in every way possible and feeling like a part of our group. Ajarn Tu Nametta understood our hopes for the Yants as well as the energy we needed and the results are stunning. Would absolutely recommend!

Went on the sak yant Chiang Mai tour…
Went on the sak yant Chiang Mai tour with our tourguide Noi and it was a life changing experience!
From the moment we met our guide he was extremely helpful in all aspects and did a wonderful explaining what it we should expect and what things mean. He safe took us to our destination explaining everything each step of the way to ensure we have the best possible experience. The sak yant tattoo experience was perfect being that we were lucky to have caught Ajarn Rung when he was not busy so we could take our time with questions we had. Def looking forward to coming back soon and getting more done with Ajarn Rung. Thank you to WSE, Noi and Ajarn Rung for a once in a lifetime experience!

The Rise of Female Pulqueras & Mescaleras: Oaxaca’s Agave Traditions Reimagined
I love learning from ancestral wisdom traditions around the world, especially the vibrant lands of Oaxaca, Mexico.
The seemingly simple yet profound act of ‘turning water into wine’, or in this case, working with an agave plant to ferment pulque or distill mezcal, provides a window into a world that is rich with context, character, and connection.
As an added layer, I love bearing witness to women stepping into traditionally male dominated roles, like that of a Pulquera or Mescalera; women who choose to RISE & THRIVE in Oaxaca agave traditions, against all odds.
It reminds me that context is always changing and culture is never a fixed point.
Recently I had the opportunity to join a Oaxaca Artisanal Mezcal Experience with WSE Travel. Their ethos, ‘Where Sidewalks End’ takes willing explorers off the beaten path, while creating a positive impact on the communities and environment.
The relationships they bridge are real. Something I felt immediately.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Steph. We are honored you joined us in Oaxaca and that the experience reflected the resilience and ancestral knowledge of the women leading agave traditions today. Your words mean a lot, and we are grateful for the chance to share these connections with you.
Incredible Guides Showing You the Real Oaxaca
Oaxaca is so popular it can be really easy to slide into a tourist bubble and never really see anything truly authentic.
My tours with Where Sidewalk Ends changed all of that. With locals I was able to find the best things both in the city and outside, discovering really special places and amazing people.
I have taken many tours and so many guides are just worn out or phoning it in. But the guides on my tours were inspiring, honest, opinionated and happy to share. I learned a lot about Mexican culture and issues facing it today.

We would love to welcome you back anytime, whether in Oaxaca or beyond.
I wouldn’t change anything
I wouldn’t change anything. I feel honored to have the Sak Yants ajarn Rung bestowed upon me, and he was fast and his workmanship was impeccable. I love my guide Wao also, she made everything very comfortable and I liked our time together. Would do it again and also highly recommend.

Very pleased with my experience getting a sak yant. The whole morning was seamless thanks to Steven picking me up and making me feel comfortable from start to finish. He was so accommodating and wanted me to know he was there for me the whole time. As it was my first ever sak yant and tattoo in general, I was a bit nervous but Steven updated me every step of the way. Ajarn ya was also so kind and patient with me. Very happy I found WSE!!!

It was an incredible experience
It was an incredible experience. They picked us up from the hotel and took us to the location. We made offerings to Ajarn Oh, and he treated us wonderfully. He tattooed us in the traditional way, taking care of every hygienic detail and with incredible precision. My wife and I were delighted and will definitely return. If you have the chance, do it.

Wonderful Experience
Our guide was early for pick up and very knowledgeable of the process. He answered all of our questions and translated with Ajarn as needed. Our Ajarn and his assistant were wonderfully kind and gentle.

We're truly honoured to have been part of this special moment with you and your daughter. It means a lot to hear that you felt your guide and the Ajarn created a respectful space for the experience. We always strive to ensure each guest feels supported and informed, and we’re so glad that came through for you both.
Please pass along our warmest wishes to your daughter as she carries this sacred ink into her next chapter. May it offer her strength, guidance, and all the protection she needs on the path ahead. We’re grateful you chose to walk this journey with us — thank you again for entrusting us with such a meaningful day. 🙏

It was not as intense as expected from a spiritual point of view. Not a lot of interaction with the ajarn. I had the feeling it was more business than spiritual exchange. The price is too high for the experience I had, in my opinion.

Thank you for your feedback, Giovanni.
We’re sorry the experience didn’t feel as meaningful to you as expected. As we shared in earlier communications, we aim to support each guest’s personal journey by offering detailed preparation — including our extensive Instagram discussions we shared, and detailed emails about how to reflect on intentions, engage with the Ajarn, and use your guide to ask the ajarn questions - especially if the ajarn doesn't ask you questions. That said, we understand that connection is subjective and may not resonate equally for everyone.
We also want to clarify that we never market Sak Yant as a “spiritual service” — we believe spirituality arises from within, not something that can be sold or pre-packaged. We can only open the door, but it's up to our guests and their mindset to find that spiritual connection.
As for pricing, it reflects the full scope of the experience: including a private, licensed guide trained in Sak Yant traditions, and the Ajarn’s independently set rate for their tattoos. Like any tattoo artist, pricing varies by style, reputation, and experience, and we honour those rates out of respect. While there are Ajarns with lower prices, this can sometimes compromise on quality or hygiene — areas we won’t cut corners on for our guests’ safety and satisfaction.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts — we truly appreciate your perspective and hope your sak yant brings you the luck and enchantment you had hoped for. 🙏
A once in a life time experience
I’m so glad I did this experience. My guide Tobb was amazing. He was great company. He was very informative and he imparted a lot of knowledge about cultural traditions.
Ajarn Ya was amazing and with Tobbs help guided me through selecting the correct tattoo. The blessings and process was humbling

Thank you so much for your kind review, Fiona.
We’re so glad to hear that your time with Ajarn Ya and your guide Tobb was a memorable one. Tobb has been part of our team since 2018, and we’ve been honoured to work alongside him for so many years. His deep knowledge and calm presence continue to make a difference for guests, and we’re glad you felt supported throughout the experience.
It was truly an honour to share this ancestral practice with you, and to help guide you through the process of receiving your Sak Yant. We hope it brings you the strength, protection, and enchantment you wished for as it continues to support your path ahead. Thank you again for allowing us to be part of your journey.
excellent service from start to end
excellent service from start to end. I booked the trip only about 1.5 weeks in advance, and the WSE team were really prompt in their replies, even during the weekend. i also wasn't in kuching, and they were really flexible and transparent with me about the negotiating a pickup in Sibu where I was at instead of Kuching

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Glenn. We’re really glad we could help make your Borneo Iban Homestay experience come together smoothly, even on such short notice. We always aim to be as transparent and flexible as possible, and we appreciate your easy communication in helping us make it all work.
It’s not every day that we get to support a journey into such a remote and culturally rich part of the world, and we’re honoured you chose to explore it with us. We hope the experience gave you deeper insights into Iban traditions and life along the river, and left you with lasting memories. Terima kasih again, and safe travels - until we see you again.
The WSE experience is Best In Class!
We engaged WSE on three occasions in Chiang Mai [Sak Yant, Local Tour, and Monk], and had three unique and amazingly fulfilling experiences!
Each of our guides were wonderful people; engaging, thoughtful and expert in their ability to translate and communicate cultural knowledge and understanding.
Incredible times were had, and enduring memories made!
Thanks WSE team! I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon...
...somewhere in the world! 😉

It was truly an honour to share not just one but three meaningful experiences with you and your son during your time in Chiang Mai. From receiving your Sak Yant, to discovering the richness of everyday life through our local experience, and stepping into the rhythm of a monk’s life for a day, we’re thrilled each experience left a lasting impression.
We’re also grateful for your kind words about our guides. They care deeply about offering genuine and informed connections with their culture and are always happy to hear that their efforts made an impact. We hope your travels continue to be full of discovery and inspiration. Kop Khun Krub again and safe travels until we see you again... Somewhere in the world! 😉

I first traveled with Where Side Walks…
I first traveled with Where Side Walks End in Borneo, and it was such a unique experience that I had to join them again—this time in the Philippines. And once again, they absolutely delivered.
We took part in two experiences: a traditional healing session and the making of a local love potion. Both were fascinating, immersive, and honestly… a lot of fun. The guides were incredibly helpful, respectful of the traditions, and made sure everything was well-explained without ever feeling staged or touristy.
What I love most about this agency is that they take you far beyond the typical tour. It’s intimate, offbeat, and deeply cultural—just the kind of travel I look for.
If you’re curious, adventurous, or just want to experience something truly different, I’d highly recommend Where side Walks End. I’ve now explored with them in two countries, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
