There was a thread about 4 months ago mentioning this tour and some concern that Alessandro wasn’t doing it anymore. However, I just got an email from him and it’s back in action, with a few changes from the guidebook. Currently, he begins the tour at 5:30 instead of 6:00. There were some issues with with COVID protocol concerning bars and restaurants, so he needed to start earlier. It is now 40€ per person for 3 stops with wine and food included. He describes it as a light dinner. He also prefers to ask for cash payment at the end of the tour. We’re excited to do this, and he responded quickly to my email.

We had a blast on his tour in 2014
Hard to believe it’s been that long!

I am so glad he is still doing the tour. We took it with friends in 2018 and it was fun and informational.

Oh, good. We did this tour in 2018, and my husband wanted to do it again when we're in Venice later this year.

I loved doing his tour in 2016. It was a highlight of my time in Italy.

Seeing this post reminded me that Alessandro used to do a daytime walking tour as well. We’re going to be in Venice in September, so I emailed him last night, and unfortunately he stopped those in the midst of the Covid issues. We’ve joined his cicchetti tours twice and had such a good time…so enjoy!

Fantastic! Glad to see this post! Just reached out to Alessandro to arrange a tour in early October 2022.

I took the tour a few years ago with 3 other people. There was plenty to drink, but at the end we were all hungry and went to dinner together.
