That price is supposed to be for the whole 6 days. lol some guy on here told me that was what he payed one dude for his whole week stay. ... so i was basing my prices on what he told me. EC told me that is a bit on the cheap side so now i don't know. That seemed like a fair price since the person would be showing me around for only an hour or two.
longbeach gave me a suggestion that i think might be my solution. I did not plan on going to passions or cmp my whole trip since the girl i was looking forward to grudge fucking (ryatt style) got fired. But i think i will go there the first night and take out one of the girls out and have them show me around. I think the likelihood of them scamming me would be less but if any of them tried that shit i would take her back pronto and get my refund.
I don't mind hanging with older dudes i just didn't think any of them would be around when i was traveling. only a few guys said they were going to be there in the roll call post and i think all of them are newbies like me.
i appreciate everyones help so far and i will try to get a report up after i come back to show my appreciation.
on a sidenote anyone know how to change the countdown? my dates on there are wrong. i don't leave until next week
You are a very confused man. You want to pay a puta at Passions inflated prices to act as your town guide?
Let me try one more time. Unless you are 8 years old or a retard you do not need a paid guide. Everything in Sosúa is within walking distance and you will find plenty of mongers at the above mentioned places to point you to anywhere you want to go, probably even accompany you there if you asked politely and buy them a drink. Most of us like to show newbies around, partly because we are nice guys, but probably also because it boosts our ego to know more than someone else. This last must be why Robert is so helpful to visitors (and he really is), because he has self-esteem problems and needs his ego boosting more than most of us.
Any local who does anything for you will have their own agenda. If it is just a simple tip (propina) you will get off light.
If you get a puta to show you around you will minimise your chances of meeting other chicas and she will only show you places, and introduce you to people, where she thinks she can benefit. If you get some piece-of-shit male to show you around you will minimise your chances of meeting half-decent chicas because they avoid these scum like the plague. You will only get to meet putas on the same gutter level as the guy and even they will increase their prices because Sr Piece-of-Shit will want his 50% afterwards, on top of anything he has bummed off you.
Simple tip, if anyone approaches you saying "Hello, my friend!" start walking purposefully in the other direction.
Quick crash course on Sosua.
ErikS has a thread called take a walk thru Soua read it not much has changed in the 3 yrs since he put it up.
Pedro Clisante is the only strip there. One side is the Cuba Libre bar and the other is the beach.
Trust no dominicans!
Pick any bar yu feel comfortable in a take a seat, I personally like chillin on the beach during the day, Cubre libre in the afternoons and Rhumba, Merengue and Classicos at night.
I don't fuck with many ex-pats except for Hoseman and Corrado.
Robert 326986d21 seems pretty popular recently.
40. Dollars for the week only works when you are paying by the hour.
Anyone that tells you PAY ME WHAT YOU WANT wants you to pay the going rate or higher. They just don't want to seem like every other money grubbing Dominican, but they are just the same.
Salida-ing a Passions chick will cost you double your guide fee + food+drinks.
Sosua is very easy to navigate. But if you run into Ramon, he's cool to chill with in the bars, buy him drinks and throw him a few bucks. He'll. Bring you bitches all night. He introduced me personally to 30 girls ONE night. I didn't need him, but it was cool meeting the different chicks.
You can't drop my name to him because he doesn't know my name, he just calls me Boss.
I've offended you.....goood
There is one guy there, he young in his 20,s medium brown skin with missing teeth. STAY AWAY from him, he's a loser and a thief. He's always trying help someone then vics them as soon as the opportunity opens up.
If thats what you want, you are doing the exact opposite of what you should be doing to attain it. The hustlers will only know the hard core and you will increase your price because you are paying a commission. You dont need a tour guide, Sosua is only one street, and you will meet many like minded guys. Start at New Garden and have a drink at the bar, and go from there. The less you know Spanish the better, the chicas cant hustle you, because you cant understand them. Ficky, ficky is all you need to know. Leave the DR hustlers alone, they are nothing but trouble and they are looking to get into your pockets. Read both of Weylands posts, he was spot on.
My 1st mongering trip i was traveling solo, and I didnt speak the language. I used to sit at this restaurant alone, and I met this local, he used to sit with me and chat. Normally, I would have dismissed him, but I grew tired of hearing Portuguese and wanted to hear English. This guy always wanted me to come back to his apt, so he could get me girls. Two reasons , I had a problem with that, one the guy only had two teeth in his mouth, and two I wasnt stupid. Whenever the girls would show up, and I would walk over to the beach with them the guy would disappear.
I didnt take me long to figure out, he wanted to get me in his neighborhood, so him and his friends could rob me and gut me like a fish. I am glad I wasnt looking for any tour guides. Try not to be a statistic, and whatever you do, do not go to anyones apt, stick to your turf, (your hotel).
Sosua could use official tourism guide representatives. In santo domingo, and boca chica there are people certified for tourism. In the zona colonial i see them all the time. I talked to a guide one day to show me some of the hotels around the area and he showed me a ton of aparta-hotels, and hostels that you cant find on the internet or would even know are there. (in Boca chica they basically just gave hustlers a license to hustle so they arent a great example.)
there is a market for this type of industry, and all dominicans are not scumbags. i agree most of the street people you will meet are just that street people. but that applies to any country, and any city/town.
DMoney is just a little nervous and wants to be prepared for his 1st trip. I recommended a chica whether it be passions, CMP, or hotel chicas. Why not have a hot chic show you around then you fuck her afterwards.
If you are upfront about what you want, tell her you want to fuck her, show you the disco, and a good place to eat but your also looking for other chicas to fuck; everything will be clear.
im pretty sure all his plans will go out the window the second he gets to his hotel, takes a shower, has his 1st presidente and sees the 1st chica he is going to fuck. All the guide BS will be out the door.
Of course not. There are many honest and generous Dominicans. But we are specifically talking about unemployed males in Sosúa. If you invite one of those to get their hooks into you, your odds are not good.
There are, in my opinion, only two groups of visitors who should hang with those guys.
1) Mongers who come from some horrendous ghetto or project, have spent most of their lives on the criminal fringe and may be petty criminals themselves. They may actually feel uncomfortable being with decent people and seek out their own kind once they arrive in the DR. I am sure no ISOC members fall into this category.
2) Guys with low self-esteem. May have some crap job or homelife in their own country and for a few days want to live the fantasy of the rich First World high-roller. They get off on impressing what they consider to be the inferior "natives" of the DR by flashing the cash. They are in the same general category as the idiots who "make it rain" in the discos or who try to impress by buying Grey Goose or Hennessey for putas who actually can't tell the difference between Red Bull and a glass of piss.
Regretably we have had a few in this category on ISOC and may still have for all I know. Of course your "guides" will flatter these guys, laugh at their antics, and tell them they are the greatest thing to hit the country since Columbus. But behind their backs decent Dominicans are disgusted by them while the lowlife are laughing at them and waiting for the right moment to stick the knife in (not literally, although I wouldn't necessarily rule out that possibility).
If you think you fall into one of those categories, go ahead and hire a gaggle of guides. But I am still waiting for an answer to my question. What could a local guide do for you that you cannot do for yourself cheaper and more safely?
Read my trip report you will see what i paid but here is a good guy to use
He is dominican and speaks good english
Miguel Hernandez 809-304-5105 all i ask is you say your friend BIG MIKE from NY recommended you to him so he takes care of me when i go down there.
Thanks hope this helps everyone out.

Forget the guides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck em all, make mistakes and learn from them.

and once you get into town, send a message to the board and maybe meet up with other members.
I agree wholeheartedly with both Weyland and Eastcoast ... only one thing I would like to add.
Familiarity breeds contempt!
If you are hell-bent on using the services of these "guides" after reading the excellent advise above, do not let your guide, (regular taxi driver, puta, or even an expat you meet in Sosua) know too much about you ... once they feel comfortable that they "know" you, and they see you as an equal, or (god forbid) less than ... the games and/or rip off will begin ... guaranteed!
Do not try to be "One of the boys" with a Dominican! Think it's a fluke that the Guide EC spoke of called him boss, and has no idea what his name is? NOT!
Was EC ever Ramon's equal, or lesser? Even for a moment? You can bet he wasn't!
I've seen guys sit down over a beer with a total stranger (Dominican and ExPats) and give them everything but their pin number for their bank card ... don't be that guy ... instant MARK! ... IMHO if you let strangers without scruples think you are equal or (heaven forbid) inferior ... the GAME IS ON, and if you already let it get this far ... you gonna lose!
You are not special!
She is not different than the others!
