I've seen a couple of casual references to some walking tours of the MP's in a few posts.
Are they still going on and if so when and where do they meet?

If anybody is up for it between the 22nd and 29th chime in here.
Or maybe a tour of the better clip joints, not that I have any idea which ones that would include. :)

Contact Pops, he does tours for a small fee. Search for him, everybody who uses his wingman service is very happy.

I think he is actually referring to BangBang's old tours, which are no longer done. Pop's offers a great alternative for some guys who are newer to the game, but it is more of an individual one-on-one wingman/personal guide service than a group walking tour. BB's group tours were discontinued about a year ago(?) because the sight of a large group of gringos walking together around the Zona Roja going from MP door to MP door was attracting too much of the wrong type of attention and eventually actually ended up being one of the targets of a news media expose on the "scourge of sex tourism in CR".

Its good, or even advisable, to travel around to many of these places with a wingman, particularly if you don't know your way around very well. HOWEVER, IMHO, its ALSO advisable as much as possible to keep those groups small enough that you don't stand out like a group of drunken frat boys or unneccessarily call attention to what we do when out and about on the street, as certain elements in CR uses that sort of image to help stir up opposition to our activities.

Brother Prolijo doesn't need me backstopping his posts but--EXACTLY what he succinctly said...Especially these days with the Rodent looking for excuses and bad guys all about.
