What To Expect
A tango show in Buenos Aires is a must-do while you're visiting the capital city of Argentina. Tango provides insight into the Argentine cultural personality; its passion, sensuality, and reverence for history. Tango shows in Buenos Aires seem like they're taking place on every corner, but you're in good hands with this particular Buenos Aires tango show at El Querandí. The venue has been called 'living evidence of civic memory' and transports you back to the height of the tango era in the early 20th century.
After pickup at your hotel and transport to El Querandí (if upgrade selected), be seated for your show. Relax and let the culture and beauty of the tango wash over you. Live musicians sing and play instruments like the violin, bass, accordion, and piano while some of Buenos Aires' most skilled tango dancers take to the floor. Many a lifelong tango fan have been made at tango shows. Buenos Aires is the cultural center of this seductive dance, and many first-time tourists eventually return again and again to see the shows and dance the tango themselves.
Dinner Upgrade: If the dinner option is selected, be seated for a traditional 3-course Argentine feast. Choose from several dishes for each course, from Argentine to international dishes, accompanied by local wines. As the dinner winds down, coffee and a celebratory glass of sparkling wine are provided before viewing the best tango show Buenos Aires has to offer.
Your evening ends with hotel drop-off (if upgrade option selected).

Demonstration of the history of tango from its early origins to 1955. We arrived early and could order off the restaurant and bar menus. Some tables have obstructed view from pillars. Stage is setup by the street corner door, so a side entrance to the place is used instead.

The show was good but we were placed in the right hook on the left side. My partner didn't see some parts of the show because it was not visible for all angles like described. And the waiters bumped into me at least 10x with the plates, bringing them and bringing them back to the kitchen. And the cherry on the top, during the show I get a flash of the phone of one of the waiter in my face so we can pay the consumptions instead of doing this at the end so we can fully enjoy the show we paid for. Please next time, my advice would be at the end so the guests are not bothered and not bump into the guests constantly so they fully can enjoy.

The show was excellent and part of the Tango story was wonderful. The dinner was very good, and the transportation too. Everyone was very polite. 😉
Marilyn_D, Mar 2026
Dancing was really amazing - and the orchestra was very talented.
My husband’s steak was very good - my grilled fish was not so good.
Not sure the meal was good value, but the overall experience was superb.
Tori_P, Feb 2026
Overall, amazing experience. The tango show was unique, well performed, and very easy to follow for a non-Spanish speaker.
They go through the history of tango and so they dance each era of the tango. The costumes were great, the singers were amazing, the dancers were incredibly talented, and the musicians were insanely good.
Overall a great experience. I will just make a note that the drinks were expensive but we were expecting that going in.
Hannah_I, Feb 2026
My partner and I booked this show expecting to be amazed but unfortunately we left feeling a little underwhelmed.
The pairs dancing was very impressive but the group dancing felt like too much for a small stage. The performance also seemed to be focused towards one particular direction which was possibly the most expensive VIP area. Unless you were right near the stage itself you were mostly unable to see the dancers footwork. This is because the majority of people are seated in a long room that extends away from the stage and everyone's heads were roughly at the height of the stage itself, obscuing your view of the dancers footwork if you are seated more than a couple of rows away from the stage. Finally, what felt like 50% of the show is actually singing and musical performance instead of dancing.
Most disappointing, but perhaps most easily fixed, was the way the waiters moved around during the show performing needless tasks such as clearing unused cutlery from tables. This kept blocking peoples view of the performance. They also decided to come around mid performance to explain that tips were not included in the online price and provided each table with a wallet for additional tips. At this point you've disturbed me mid show, all whilst obscuring my view of the ongoing performance, so have therefore given me a very good reason not to leave a tip.
If someone asked me if I'd recommend attending this show, I'd be unable to say yes.

Nice to know we could go to the show by taking a rideshare from the port after having dinner on the ship.
Bart_G, Dec 2025
The show was great. We didn’t do the dinner, just the show. I only have two complaints - (1) the sound system was cranked up way too much, which was totally unnecessary and took away from the beautiful music and singing (loud volume is often used to mask bad performances, but they don’t need to mask anything since the music and singing was great), and (2) the view from many of the seats was partially blocked and you can’t see the full stage - this was unfortunate because I was in one of the seats and I really wanted to see the whole stage. But overall, I would definitely recommend. Took my 17 and 21 year olds and they also enjoyed.
Kristine_C, Nov 2025
This dinner and show with transportation is well worth it! Very nice dinner. The musicians and dancers are very good! Fantastic! Highly recommend.
Philip_Q, Jul 2025

We took only show without transfers. All went smoothly. We have even had an emergency and had to move our date and there was really warm and fast response and no problems at all. Show is great! Dancers are so close. All seats are good with great view on stage. Recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2025

Intimate venue and atmospheric surroundings
Overall superb experience
Priyanka_G, Apr 2025
Amazing show, they explained the history and evolution of Tango in three distinct phases. The singers and dancers as well as the orchestra was very talented. Also the complementary dessert served (I opted for the famous Dulce the leche) was delicious.
Andrea_K, Feb 2025
Tango show that took you through the history of Tango from its origins. singers, dancers and musicians all combined for a fantastic experience. Would recommend
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you, Andrea! We are really happy to know that you enjoyed the night!
Susan_P, Feb 2025
Short drive after being picked up at our hotel. We ordered dinner which was very good considering this was a tour. Quality and service could not be faulted. Then, the show! These dancers were just amazing and really gave us a taste of tango through several decades. They did an excellent job and it must not be missed if visiting Buenos Aires!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the dinner and were impressed with the tango show. Our dancers truly love tango, and we're glad it made your experience memorable. We hope to welcome you back the next time!
Bill_R, Feb 2025
The dancing and the show are excellent. The food is mediocre at best. My wife and I both ordered the fish, and when it came, it was obvious that the fish had been cooked earlier and had been sitting in a warming pan for quite a while. If I were to do this again, I’d purchase tickets for the show only and have dinner somewhere else.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed the dancing and the show! We’re sorry to hear that the food didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to provide a great dining experience, and your comments will help us improve. Thank you!

Jane_D, Jan 2025
It was fine. As described. Decent food, a decent but not outstanding show, and the pick up logistics worked well
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hello Jane, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that the logistics and the experience met your expectations. We’d love to welcome you back if you're ever in Buenos Aires again!

Enjoyed the show, food was great. The artists present a variety of well choreographed dances, orchestra and singers are very talented. Don’t miss this world”s best Tango show.
Danijela_M, Oct 2024
The show was nice, transport service was great, dinner could have been better. For that money you can eat far better in the local traditional restaurants.
Ruth_B, May 2024
Amazing food , lots of choices for each course. The staff and service were outstanding he dancers were fabulous and it was a truly great evening. There are no bad seats in this venue
Trang_N, May 2024
The tango show but it was not long enough for us! If you have added 1/2 an hour more then it would be perfect.
Mitch_B, Apr 2024
This was not what I expected for a tango show. The food was just OK. I didn’t get my third course and only got one drink. The views are obstructed by support beams. The singing and dancing was more like community theatre. I talked to others who went to different shows and they had a better experience. I feel like the show was trying to do the history of tango through costume and dance but it didn’t translate well.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this tour. We are sorry it didn't fully meet your expectations. All tango shows have a different focus and essence. If you could share your booking reference with us, we can review the case of the third course that you did not receive. This tour includes an entrée, a main course, and dessert.
Best regards,
Martin

Good food. Good show but started 30 minutes late. We had finished eating 90 minutes before the show started. Excellent transfers from hotel & back
Andrew_R, Mar 2024
Overall, great value with: transport to and from the venue from my hotel, good dinner although service felt a little rushed at time.
Show itself very well thought out giving the history of tango, with era appropriate music, costumes and video display.
Great dancers, musicians and singers, especially the baritone who, for me, had one of the best voices I have heard in a long time - pitch perfect and wonderful emotion without overdoing it, which would be easy to slip into and go for "big dramatic" singing and gestures.
Millie_L, Feb 2024
The show was good but the meal was sub par. I ordered pork and got lamb. My husband ordered a steak med rare and it was well done.

Great show portraying tango through the ages. Easy to see the dancers, singers and band. Opted for the show only option but this included a choice of entree or dessert plus endless amounts of beer, wine or soft drinks. Good service, enjoyable evening.
erin_D, Nov 2023
Let’s start with the good. The food was delicious! The service was great. The ride was easy and very convenient. With all of the good the terrible wildly out rates it. I paid a lot of money and was sat behind a support beam. I could not see most of the show, I had to keep rocking back and forth. The floor was so packed you were unable to move. The person sitting behind me was so close they kept knocking in to my chair. I had to stand in the doorway to see any of the dancing. The dancing was okay.
Although I would say there are only a handful of bad seats in the building I would not risk being sat in one of them.
Jeanna_H, Oct 2023
We loved the intimate setting in a room that took us back in time. The musicians and dancers were excellent! The show is an overview of how the tango started and what it has become today. Everything went smoothly with the pickup at the hotel and we appreciated the convenience of the transfer. One thing to be aware of is that the food is mediocre. The service was great, but it might be a better plan to eat somewhere else and just watch the show.
