Itinerary
Spend an unforgettable evening in San Telmo, the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires and the birthplace of tango. At El Aljibe, a beautifully restored conventillo, enjoy a unique cultural experience. Before dinner, you can choose between a fun tango class or a guided wine tasting led by expert sommeliers. Both options last about an hour and give you a taste of Argentine culture. Dinner is served between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. and features a gourmet menu combining traditional Argentine flavors with international cuisine. At 8:15 p.m., the tango show begins. Enjoy live music performed by top tango and folk orchestras, dazzling performances by four dance couples, and a breathtaking boleadoras demonstration—a traditional gaucho skill used to herd cattle. This magical night is a celebration of Argentina’s music, dance, food, and heritage—all in one place.

Traveler reviews
Wonderful evening! Very...
Wonderful evening! Very well organized, lovely venue. The food was much better than I expected. Met some delightful patrons. The entertainment was energetic and very talented. Highly recommend.
Good variety show
We opted for show and transport without dinner. So we cannot comment on the food. The show was an hour long with tango, and gaucho dance, singing, drums and orchestra. The performers were excellent. The place was crowded. The only problem is the layout of the tables made it difficult for people to see everything clearly. We were fine though. There was free bottle of wine of your choice and water. The transportation was smooth, but we had to wait a bit when being picked up. Overall a great experience.
Excellent show, lots of variety, great musical and visual experience. Early show is a great option when needed.
Excellent show. Great musical and visual experience. Highly recommended. Dinner was delicious. Early option worked out well.

It was a bit hectic at the ticket office. We had the tickets bought in advance via Viator and yet we had to queue together with people who had no tickets. Finally some people who bought tickets on the spot had better seats than we did. From where we sat it was a bit difficult to see the stage. It’s a massive tourist thing, even though the performers were really good
Exceeded expectations
A wonderful show that included about 8 dancers, one singer and a 4 piece band. The food was also very good.
