Touristy.
US $ 6 for a bottle of water filled up at the tap?. Nice glass bottle. When we try to take it with us they took it away : " We need it to be refilled".

Excellent show, food, drink and transportation to and from the venue. The Tango dance lesson before dinner was fun,
Kasper_M, Mar 2026
The tango show was beautiful we enjoyed the dancing and singing. The atmosphere and theater was very pretty.
Lauri_S, Feb 2026
The venue, food, show and experience were well worth it. However if my concierge had not called, I would have been unaware that the pick up/drop off portion was not being honored. Having a driver was important to my party at 2330 at night.!!
Marta_T, Feb 2026
What an amazing way to absorb the Argentinian Culture. We only choose the option of the show and it's so worth it. You have singers and different couples dancing with a live band. So good when I'm back I'll do it again!!
Alla_B, Feb 2026
show was good, but drink is very expensive and waitress took 50% tips for himself without option. Do not pay 50% tips guy who bring drink to you.
Clark_G, Jan 2026
Good show, great location, some parts were hurried and some were slow. Food was average. A production.
Benji_R, Jan 2026
The theater is beautiful and all the performers were phenomenal. I was seated in the corner and I was still able to see everything perfectly!
Lorenzo_G, Nov 2025
One of the highlights of my trip. I went because I was told it was the thing to do, and I could not have been more impressed at the end. The dancers & singers were incredible! I was blown away by their talent & skill. If you’re going to go to a Tango show, go to Palacio Tango. Muchos gracias!

Very bad organization from Viator and the show itself. They pump you with cheap alcohol before the start to create a "positive mood". Absolutely rude staff. They demand tips. The show lasts about 45 minutes. There are 2 interesting performances.
Kim_M, Dec 2024
The dance performance was really good and the theatre was beautiful. The bus was slow to pick us up and the meal was fine. I might recommend getting yourself to the theatre and eating before
John_S, Jul 2023
This experience was absolutely awful.
Transportation - I was told I would be picked up at 7, didn’t get picked up til 8 with very little communication. They were adamant to be ready by 7 or risk being left behind. I sat in the lobby waiting and waiting and waiting.
Food - Outside of the starter (empanadas), everything else tasted bad. The “lasagna” was made using crêpes instead of pasta and the dessert was bland. My ice cream was already melting when it got to my table. Wine was of terrible quality.
Service - left something to be desired
Show - The show was decent but didn’t start until 10pm. I sat at my table for an hour and a half eating my terrible food. Unsure why we needed to arrive so early.
Overall, this was not worth the money and I learned you can find other tango shows at local bars for a fraction of the price. I did this as a solo traveler and wouldn’t recommend for solo or group traveling. As a solo traveler, they sat me in the corner, alone. Unsure why they couldn’t sit all the solo travelers together. Again, don’t waste your money or your time! This was 4 hours of my vacation I didn’t get back!

The 30 minutes of tango we watched in this five hour experience was great but the total event is far too long and boring. It’s over priced at $139 pp. The food is mediocre. The company said they couldn’t pick us up, which is included, bc of a road closure but out Uber driver got us there fine. I think you can find a better tango experience in BA that isn’t such a tourist trap.
Eric_H, Mar 2023
Arrived at 7:30, we ate our delicious meal. Then we sat until the show started LATE at 10:10.
We were forced to wait without explanation for a group who arrived late.
Thomas_H, Nov 2022

Lars K, Dec 2019

We really enjoyed the show and the evening. Food was good, The only thing that caused some frustration is that the pick-up arrangements did not come on time; so we took a taxi.
Ita_F, Dec 2019
Excellent tango night with wonderful dancers. I enjoyed every moment of this superb show. The food provided was also very good with a fine Argentinian Malbec wine... delicious.
Lee_R, Nov 2019
I read other reviews about this and all I can say is the food, the show and the whole experience was just fantastic! So atmospheric sitting in an old fashioned music theatre, eating great food and sipping Malbeck while watching a great show. Would definitely recommend this as something to finish off your trip in BA with.
YongKwei_T, Oct 2019
The tour agent pick us up from hotel at 7:15PM and we actually reached the Piazzolla Tango around 8PM. The dinner is not attractive. The Tango show started at 10:00 PM and ended at 11:30PM. We waited 2 hours for the show. We would recommend just join the Tango show and forget about the dinner. You can have much better dinner in BA downtown.
Gladys_J, Sep 2019
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.
Robert_D, Sep 2019
50% tango of which 30% traditional and 50% Singing. Dinner was very good .. steak and a bottle of Malbec
Alejandra_S, Sep 2019
The show was amazing and is a good amount of time as normally this type of shows are just a few minutes. Food wasn't really good, it was okay and the type of wine was great either. It was fun to have the Tango classes, but overall there was a lot wait and four hours is a long time to get everything done.
DianaDeMty, Aug 2019
Beautiful theater, delicious dinner and professional tango dancers! What else could we ask for? The only thing I would suggest is to take out the couple of erotic dances which lowers the elegancy of the show and the venue.
timv363, Jul 2019
Great show with private box for four people. Three course dinner was very good with free flowing wine all evening. Good service and the show was really excellent. A truly great night and highly recommended
GlobeTrotting574675, Mar 2019
The entire evening was delightful. Tango lesson, dinner, show and service were all first class. Really glad we booked this event.
Deborah_S, Mar 2019
Fabulous evening from start to finish. Transport was excellent with driver on time for pickup and there to pick us up after show finished. The meal was good with excellent service and the tango lesson was fun but not mandatory. The tango show was excellent and highly recommend this tour....value for service offered.
Christopher_D, Jan 2019
Our evening was wonderful. The transportation was stress free; our driver picked us up in a timely manner, and was waiting outside the theater after the show to return us to our hotel. Once at the theater all went well with good service, a nice meal, and free flowing wine. The show was terrific; we were so impressed by the dancers' moves and stamina. We'd recommend this event to others without reservation.
