“The actual show was 5 star. Great music and dancing. A delicious meal with plenty of wine - and Argentine wine even!! The part that didn’t go so well was the transportation. We were told pick up was in front of our hotel at 7:30. At 7:45 the front desk of my hotel called the tour agent. No answer. She then called La Ventana where she was assured that there was still time for our pick up. Wait until 8:00. So we did. Still no ride. We called an Uber since we had payed a lot of money for this tour and didn’t want to miss it. About 8:10 both…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 277 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $25

Spend an evening at Palacio Tango in Buenos Aires’ historic Güemes Gallery, where dancers, singers, and musicians perform Piazzolla, Gardel, Pugliese, and other Argentine classics. Choose a show-only ticket, dinner, tango class, or hotel transfers. The theater is striking, but dinner can mean a long wait before the performance.

“I highly recommend attending the show. We skipped the dinner & arrived 9:15 pm. Enjoyed wine before the show. It started at 10 pm sharp. The show started off mellow & continued to get better. Well thought out. Musicians & singers were passionate & talented. Each set was unique. We were lucky to see the 2019 Tango World Champions. Amazing! The professional dancers were phenomenal. My only recommendation is to not allow children under the age of 8. It's distracting & this is not an environment for them. We want to enjoy the show in peace. Thank you to the parents that exited quickly.”

“The tango show was fantastic and the waiting staff at the venue were incredibly friendly and helpful. Before the event, it was a little bit tricky trying to explain we only needed private transportation home as we were already in the San Telmo district for dinner beforehand. Unfortunately, there was no communication from the event organisers to confirm our messages to say we would not need collecting from our hotel and then the minibus driver was hesitant to take us home when we left the venue as he had not collected us. Thankfully, a member of the venue staff convinced him to take us.”
