Itinerary
We’ll head to the streets of San Telmo, the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires and the birthplace of tango. There, we'll arrive at a historic conventillo — once a traditional tenement house, now beautifully restored and transformed into a charming dinner-theater venue — to enjoy an unforgettable night at La Ventana. Before the dinner-show, you'll have the option to take part in a tango class or enjoy an exclusive wine tasting led by our expert sommeliers. This pre-show experience lasts approximately one hour.
Dinner is served between 7:30 PM and 9:30 PM, featuring a carefully curated menu of gourmet dishes that blend the best of Argentine and international cuisine. At 9:30 PM, the tango show begins — a performance that’s sure to impress. Live music is performed by renowned tango orchestras and a traditional Argentine folk music group. On stage, four pairs of dancers will captivate you with their skill, elegance, and passion. The show also includes live indigenous music and a glimpse into gaucho culture, featuring a breathtaking boleadoras demonstration — a traditional tool used by gauchos for cattle herding. To conclude this magical evening, La Ventana pays an emotional tribute to Eva Perón with a moving performance of the iconic song from the famous musical. A unique and unforgettable moment.

Traveler reviews
Tango and Gaucho Show
The quality of the performers, singers, dancers, musicians, was excellent. Very entertaining and the skillful gaucho demonstrations were amazing. The waitstaff were very helpful and attentive.
Tango Show in Buenos Aires
Excellent show, enjoyed throughly with my son. Performances were exceptional!! Food was good at the restaurant and service as well.
Booking Site Viator is a Huge Disappointment
The show was really very good...excellent dancers, musicians, and an intimate setting that lets the audience feel the energy and talent on the stage. The range of music was quite wonderful. My review rating is low because of great disappointment with the booking site. My emailed ticket and confirmation clearly state the show start time is 10:00 pm. However, the show started at 9:30 pm so we missed one third of the performance. The venue said it was the fault of the booking agent and I highly recommend NOT using viator, unless they would like to offer compensation for their mistake.
Great experience
Excellent experience. Pick up was right on time. Very good driver and clean bus. Show check in was easy and smooth. Wine tasting was really good. Dinner was very good and the highlight of the night was the Tango Show, which was more than a tango show. Excellent. And I can not forget about the staff: they were friendly, funny and courteous/respectful. Don’t hesitate booking this tour.
Disappointing
I attended a tango performance at Familia Tango Show in Argentina with my husband, where we had a very concerning experience. During the show, two women who appeared to be part of a larger group walked past our table on their way to the restroom and spilled red wine on an elderly woman seated next to us. Surprisingly, no apology was offered. Unfortunately, on their return, they spilled another glass of red wine on the same woman, leaving her blouse stained and visibly upsetting her. We were shocked by both the behavior and the lack of accountability. We brought the situation to the attention of the establishment’s manager; however, the only action taken was to ask both parties to relocate. We agreed to move seats primarily to prevent any further incidents and to protect the elderly woman from additional distress. Later in the evening, the same individuals passed by our new table and again appeared unsteady. My husband politely asked them to be careful and avoid another incident. In response, one of the women became confrontational, caused a significant disturbance, and made threatening remarks toward us and the elderly woman. This experience was deeply disappointing. No guest should feel unsafe or distressed while attending what is meant to be an enjoyable cultural event. We had looked forward to experiencing the beauty and history of tango in Argentina, but instead, we left with a very negative and unsettling memory.
