We went to this tango show because its something you "do" when you're in BA - we aren't huge dance buffs and we don't watch Dancing with the Stars or anything... We took Lonely Planet's advice to just accept the cheeziness and the Las Vegas-ness of it. We chose NOT to eat dinner at the show because most of the... More

The is no word to describe the magnifisance of the show! Every detail is perfect. You can't stop staring not even one second. The food is good and the wine as well. I didn't really like the desert. Totally worth paying the price.

I went with a small group of 10 to this show after arriving earlier in the day in Buenos Aires. These sort of shows typically don't hold my interest. With a semi professional background as a singer in a major world class symphony orchestra i am a bit picky. But this show was not about the singing (not bad) but... More

A large group had a magnificent evening here, great food, good theatre, all based on the beloved Tango. Quite expensive, but a must do in BA. It seems so 1950s or 60s! We all enjoyed the show enormously

Show is pure fun, enjoyable, unique. Skip the expensive dinner, and sit upstairs in more relaxed and far less pricey spot, and take it in. Great evening. Go!

I rarely regret anything I do when travelling since all experiences add to your understanding and knowledge of a place. There are many things that one “needs to see” just because you are there. This may be one of them. It was certainly not the most entertaining evening I ever had, but I did enjoy it. As to be expected,... More

The quality of the food, the service, the staff, and the level of the show is up to the standards of any international show. The orchestra plays the most popular Argentine tango music, creating the most representative atmosphere of Buenos Aires in the 1900.

Had booked this in advance as our special nite out. Pick up at the hotel perfectly on time, easy to get in and very efficient getting us to our seats and served quickly. Food was good and soon enough, the show began! Great stage production, fun to see the different segments and the orchestra was incredible! Definitely enjoyed this adventure... More

Ok, so it's a tourist tango and dinner show, but is was very well done. The steak wasn't the best I had in Argentina, but it was still far better than most I've had in the UK. The dancers were first class and the crooners were ok. And we thoroughly enjoyed learning the basic tango steps ourselves before the show... More

When we bought tickets for this show we were expecting to see a very good demonstration of real tango, with classic tango playing in the background and slow dancers on stage. However, we were surprised to see how after every act the performance turned into the most vibrant presentation with rhythmic and melodic tunes that got us into the mood... More
