Company description Carpe DC Food Tours tells the stories of DC neighborhoods through food.  Our tours highlight a number of locally owned restaurants, the stories of their owners and how they fit into the changing culture of the neighborhood.

We are committed to supporting the district through preservation of history, elevating the stories of those who make the neighborhoods unique and through our one for one program.  For each ticket purchased, a portion is donated to our partner charity, Bread for the City, and feeds one local resident in need for a day. Job description

Carpe DC looks for outgoing, dynamic, friendly people who want to show off DC’s foodie culture to locals and tourists.  Our goal is to share DC’s rich history and diverse culture through the foods of the neighborhoods, so our guests appreciate all DC has to offer, and get excited to explore their own neck of the woods.

We’re also passionate about supporting the neighborhoods we work in, as DC’s only one-for-one food tour and through our partnership with Bread for the City, a portion of each ticket sale goes to feed someone in need for a day.

If all this sounds up your alley, and you’d like to join our team, check out the openings listed below.  Here are a few additional things to keep in mind:

• Our peak season begins mid-March (Cherry Blossom time) and slows down in December. However, we will be training before that, and offer tours year round.
• Weekend hours will be required.
• Day and evening hours are available.

We are looking for some stellar guides to lead our U Street/Shaw Neighborhood Food Tours and our 14th Street Tours.  Are you into food, history and love DC?  Want to share your passion with others?  Great guides are fun, friendly and love leading a crowd.

Our tours range from 2 to 3 hours, and walk guests through the streets of DC.  We’ll provide the script- you provide the character!

Prior tour experience is not required, however knowledge of food, DC history and local knowledge preferred.  Guides are paid hourly plus tips. Guides must be able to cover at least 2 tours a week.
