Early tango dinner in Buenos Aires with optional hotel pickup, Argentine classics, wine, and a live tango and folklore show at Aljibe Tango.
“Great location, great meal, great show, good value. BUT PLEASE: Tell your Asian guests to put down their cameras and video recorders during the show!! Terribly disruptive and blocked our view of the show. Easily resolved by management making an announcement prior to the show, as we have seen at other such events. Should not be left to waiters to deal with the problem. (We asked, and they didn't.) See attached photo.”
Skip-the-line Tango Porteno in Buenos Aires with hotel pickup, three-course dinner, unlimited drinks, and a live orchestra show.
“The dinner was very good. Of course in Argentina get the steak! The wine was plentiful. The show was fun to watch. Started out with a funny Tango-magician. Then los of tango dancing, singing and the 6 piece orchestra also played by themselves. I have one comment, we were told we would be picked up at 8 pm. Our driver did not get us until 8:40 pm. Seems like we were the last pickup point, but we were not told that. The show was right across the street from our hotel, so we chose to walk home rather than 40 minutes in the van.”
A hands-on Argentine dinner in Puerto Iguazú with Malbec cocktail making, empanada folding tips, 3 wine pairings, and mate ritual.
“We were in Argentina for 8 days (3 cities) and this was one of our favorite experiences! The food was delicious (which is important with this price point) and the wine/drinks were unlimited. We loved the interactive bits that were interspersed throughout the dinner. It was very engaging and helped to facilitate conversation with people around you. The experience caters to multiple languages and tries to facilitate interaction with you and people who are not in your party. We really enjoyed meeting everyone! Bruno and Alvaro were wonderful hosts and made the experiences great!”

See Señor Tango in Buenos Aires, a big stage production with pro dancers, aerial moments, live music, and optional dinner, about 2 to 3 hours.
“While we loved the tango dancing the Senor man sang and talked way too much! A bit self indulgent when it’s billed as a tango show. The show started so late and the dinner was mediocre at best”

Tango Porteño in Buenos Aires: optional lesson and dinner at a restored theater near the Obelisk, ending with a 10 PM show.
“The tango show was very good, would recommend. I don’t understand Spanish and all the songs were sung in that language, but i could still feel the emotion. The dancers were excellent and the production was very well done. It didn’t seem ‘spontaneous’ and everything was staged, so maybe it wasn’t the most authentic, but it was a very good show nevertheless. Would recommend. We didn’t opt for the dinner so our seating was very far back which was a bit irritating as everyones heads were in the way, but there was no obstruction such as pillars etc. They told us to arrive by 9:30 and we came at 9:20;…”
Rojo Tango at Faena Hotel in Buenos Aires: an intimate 2-hour tango show with premium drinks, plus optional 3-course dinner and private pickup.
