We are seeking enthusiastic and energetic Tour Guides to lead engaging and informative Food Tours in the Fort Worth area.
Do you love food? Can you command a crowd, make them laugh, and have everyone literally eating out of the palm of your hand? If so, this might be the perfect job for you.
Food Tours of America is looking for charismatic, reliable, and high-energy personalities to lead unforgettable food tours through some of the most exciting neighborhoods in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Leading a food tour is part storytelling, part hospitality, and part herding cattle from one delicious stop to the next.
We provide full training and support to get you up to speed. Once you're out leading tours, you’ll quickly realize you’re getting paid to do something that’s genuinely fun and incredibly rewarding.
This is a part-time position with flexible scheduling. Applicants living near Dallas, Fort Worth, or Grapevine are encouraged to apply.

- Manage group logistics while keeping the experience fun and welcoming

- Ensure guest needs are met, including dietary restrictions and food allergies
- Capture occasional guest photos or short behind-the-scenes videos during tours for Food Tours of America’s social media
- Communicate with the team using WhatsApp and text

On our team, that means:

- Taking ownership of your tour and running it like it’s your own event
- Building positive relationships with guests and restaurant staff
