Thank you so much for your fantastic review, Martin! We're thrilled to hear that you loved the whole experience, especially during such a sacred time of year in Oaxaca. It's great to know that both the Day of the Dead cooking class and the Day of the Dead pantheon event left a lasting impression on you and your time here in Mexico.
We hope to see you again for more unforgettable adventures!

Would highly advise against…
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.
Response from Where Sidewalks EndNov 2, 2024
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 :-)
Response from Where Sidewalks EndNov 2, 2024
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about the mezcal-making process and appreciated the connection with your guide and the Mezcalero, guide, and farm. Planting your own agave is certainly a memorable highlight. We also appreciate your reminder about bringing extra pesos for mezcal to take home. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future!

Great Sak Yant Experience
It was a great experience from being picked up at my hotel to meeting Ajarn Ya. I would definitely do it again.
