What you'll do

Discover a sizzling frying pan of diverse flavors in delicious DC, on a culinary adventure of hipster feasting ground Union Market, where you can try an acai bowl that soothes the soul while snagging pictures of great for the ‘gram murals. Try a flavorsome fish poke bowl, before peeking into started-as-a-food-truck TaKorean for the best tacos on the block. Savior sloppy BBQ goodness next, then grab dainty macarons for the road as you float on a cloud of sweetness to the city's first rum distillery across the street. After sipping spicy Pirates Drink, break bread at a bakery where burrata on sourdough is a must, then catch live music and jolting coffee at a café for the community, before trying signature nigiri at a sleek sushi spot overlooking the city lights.

Where you’ll go

A haven of hearty flavors awaits at the epicenter of DC's culinary heart on 5th Street, where floors are sprinkled with over 40 foodie innovators, in a market dripping with mouth-watering aromas and artistic expressions. Dart to the home of colorful acai bowls South Block, then fast-track to a tiny fish market with big bowls of goodness. Soft-corn tortillas topped with salsa await at a Union Market favorite, then run into the welcoming arms of Sloppy Mama's BBQ. Indulge in artisan croissants at Nino’s - or savor sweet macarons, then hop over to a first of its kind distillery, followed by a trip to wholesome Pluma bakery. Visit home away from home Village Café next, then end your culinary adventure at sushi hotspot O-Ku.

    Nicholas was a great guide! He contacted me around a week before the experience to ask me what my interests were. He then managed to create a perfect tour, covering all I wanted to see and included some hidden spots I would never have found without him. Coming from the tourist industry himself, he was able to provide me with an incredible amount of details around Washington and the States itself. His way of presenting the information and giving the tour was perfect. He was speaking loud enough, and, in a manner, a non-native English speaker could easily follow. He was always super friendly and understanding. The food choices were great. I can recommend him as a tour guide. Will book City unscripted again.

    Perfect experience! Nick was a great Guide, who focused on exactly what I wanted, by contacting me around a week prior to the experience to tailor the tour exactly to my needs. The food was really good and the stories he was telling about DC were nothing you could hear at a regular tourist tour. An advantage is that tours can be altered very flexibly.
