Skip dinner, expect local theater

Mediocre food, feels like local theater, still entertaining. Skip dinner and go to the show. When I booked it it said it English, but no support for English, like a menu or even an outline of the cultural components of the show.

“Thanks” TripAdvisor

This was the worst experience in our month long trip to Argentina and Uruguay. We paid for and got a confirmation of reservation. We turned up on time and the place was closed. A complete bust and no refund

An incredible night experience with a lousy local tour operator

An excellent dinner and dance. We really loved it. However, we’re very displeased with the fact that the local tour company refused to pick us up at our hotel because they claimed that we had not chosen that option. We kept telling them that we were not giving that option from the beginning to no avail. At the end we had to hire a cab to take us there. I would recommend this experience to a friend but not with this local operator.
