Anyone can be a tour guide in this country, you only have to take the course, and pass the test.
Problem #1: If you are a gringo, the school usually doesn?t know when the next course starts, or they tell you after it has already started.
Problem #2: If you aren?t fluent in spanish, you will have a hard time, as the course is only in spanish. The test is a written test, in spanish as well.
If you are not licenced to be a guide in this country you will soon learn what a politour jail cell looks like, and how much it costs to get out of one.
good luck as it is a fun job

The only tour guides that I see working on resorts are the ones who give tours of the clubs and cabanas.
I see tour guides around Playa Dorada but I can't see why I would hire them since they don't have cars or vans.
There are plenty of personable and knowledgeable taxi drivers around who are driver and tour guide all in one.:classic:
hi.....my name is Stephanie and I saw this posting. It seems quite interesting but with all of this talk about going to jail and everything....I DON'T KNOW! I am looking for a contract position for 3 - 6 months to work in the Dominican in a touristy place....whether it's in a hotel or as a tour guide. I am fluent in English, Spanish and French and speak Portuguese. As you can probably guess, there aren't that many opportunities in Canada to use your Spanish. I am going back to school to take my MBA in Marketing in September and wanted to have the opportunity to work in another country so I can expand on my professional experiences and horizons. If you are interested, please let me know and I will send you over my resume.
Thank you,
Stephanie

Is there a link to info about "tour guide school" in the DR, possibly a link to the Tour Guide Law, and maybe the contents of the test? What are the requirements to become a Licensed Tour Guide?
FT - Full Time I would think
Sorry - I'm at work and got a call before pressing send, this was answered during that time. How rude - people calling me at work when I'm trying to reply to something on here lol!!

Are you still looking for a full time tour guide? where abouts is the job based? I am English and do not have the qualification is that a problem?
