Itinerary
Start your experience with a pickup from your hotel. Then, travel along the riverside to San Isidro, where you’ll see its cathedral and elegant historic mansions. Continue toward Tigre, passing through this well-known district on the way to the delta. In Tigre, enjoy a 40-minute catamaran cruise through the delta’s waterways, where you’ll observe island life, stilt houses, and unique services such as floating supermarkets and water taxis. You’ll also see President Sarmiento’s house-museum. At the end of the boat ride, return to Buenos Aires by bus, with the tour concluding in the city center at approximately 1 pm.
In the evening and you will head to the traditional neighborhood of San Telmo, considered the birthplace of tango and one of the oldest districts in Buenos Aires. There, you’ll arrive at a historic conventillo, a classic tenement house where the famous La Ventana venue is located. You’ll enjoy a delicious three-course dinner featuring a variety of Argentine and international dishes, paired with Argentine wines. After dinner, the show begins: two tango orchestras and a folk music group take the stage, while talented dancers perform with impressive precision and passion. You’ll experience different musical styles, live singing, and a captivating atmosphere, ending with a moving tribute to Eva Perón. After this unforgettable evening at La Ventana, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel.

Traveler reviews
Lovely Day
Travel through city to Tigre where you board boat and go up along the Delta. When return, short stop at markets (which were fairly boring), but recommend Havanas there for a drink and bite to eat. Get dropped off at various points to make pur own way back to Hotel. Picked up again in the evening for dinner and Tango Show. Evening was too long, so bored by end of show and it was late so quite tired (old age catching up lol ) But lovely day, fabulous guide
Tigre Delta Trip + Dinner & Tango Show
The tour was nice except that I had some trouble trying to locate the meeting point at Tangol ! The dinner was intetesting with some traditional dishes like breaded steak and Malbec pear in wine. The Tango show was simply awesome. Better than i expected. All in Good value for money.
messed up booking
Booked the tour for the afternoon (as getting off a ship in the morning), only to find an email stating the pick-up was from a different hotel that morning. Eventually got through on the phone, and they moved the tour to the afternoon but we had to go to their office. The outward journey is very slow, with the interesting boat trip taking just over an hour. The return in a lot quicker, with them dropping us off 5 blocks from our hotel. A bit hectic getting ready for the evening in an hour, as we had to walk round to another hotel for pick-up. Again the hotel pick-ups are slow 1.5hrs (would be better to take a taxi direct), the meal was good and the 1.5hr show great although views from back are not good. The hotel drop off at the end was a lot quicker 30 mins. Overall good value.
Mr Rajbir Sra
Tango dance hall was too crowded. We were assigned seating in the balcony with extremely poor dinner service. The dinner hall was terribly congested. The waiter was demanding tips even though the service was poor. Not even water was served to guests sitting in the balcony. The show itself was ok, though not as good as advertised. The trip to delta was ok.
Great tour
The Tigre boat tour was very good and so interesting to see how the people lived on the river and islands. There was an English commentary on the boat that gave a lot of information.The tango show was superb with professional dancers portraying the history of the tango through the years. The singers were excellent as well. Would highly recommend it.
