What are people saying about Argentina

Adriana_R, Apr 2026

Fun and memorable experience in Buenos Aires

Taking a tango class in Buenos Aires was such a fun and memorable experience, especially as it took place both on my birthday and during our honeymoon. Our instructor, Gabriela - who warmly introduced herself as Gaby - was patient, encouraging and made the lesson accessible even for us as complete beginners. She created such a relaxed and supportive atmosphere that any initial nerves quickly disappeared. We even took photos together and she kindly filmed a video of us dancing, which is such a lovely keepsake from the day. Beyond learning the steps themselves, we truly appreciated discovering more about the tango culture. There is something incredibly intimate and passionate about the dance. We left smiling, slightly more coordinated than when we arrived, and completely charmed by the experience. This was definitely not the last time we danced tango in our lives.

Fantastic Cooking Class in Buenos Aires – Highly Recommend

Taking a cooking class at Pachamama Argentine Cooking Experience was one of the highlights of my time in Buenos Aires. The class was incredibly well organized, fun, and very hands-on from start to finish. We started with a welcome snack while learning about the history of Argentine cuisine, which set the tone for the experience. Then we rolled up our sleeves and cooked several traditional dishes together, including chipá, regional empanadas, humita, and a delicious dulce de leche dessert. Everything was explained clearly, and the instructors made it easy and enjoyable even if you’re not an experienced cook. What I loved most was the atmosphere. The group was small and interactive, so it felt more like cooking with friends than taking a class. The instructors were knowledgeable, funny, and shared lots of tips about Argentine food and culture along the way. At the end we all sat down together to enjoy the meal we prepared, paired with wine, which made it feel like a true Argentine dining experience. It was a great way to meet other travelers while enjoying fantastic food. If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and want something memorable to do, I highly recommend this class. It’s a fun way to learn about the country’s cuisine and leave with recipes you can actually recreate at home.

BA: Empanadas and Alfajores Cooking Experience in Palermo

Trevor_C, Feb 2026

Fun and informative food experience

This is a relaxed group cooking experience, not intense or difficult. It is a lot of fun whilst also being very informative. We made delicious beef empanades and traditional alfajores (much better than shop purchased mass produced ones). You learn a lot about the different techniques, ingredients and history behind them; and the regional variations. The wine pairings were excellent and showcased the great flavours of Argentine Malbec and Torrontes wines. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an introduction to these two famous Argentine home cooked foods.

Buenos Aires: Discover Mate - Masterclass with Argentine Pastry

Kale_B, Nov 2025

Fantastic

We really enjoyed this experience. I had read a lot about Mate and it is not really something that you can just walk into a cafe and get. We got insight into the history, different blends, how to check for quality and freshness, how to prepare, and the etiquette of how it gets served. Our friend knew nothing about mate and also really enjoyed the experience. I'm a convert and will be confusing colleagues while I fix mate during meetings.
