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
Great show but check itinerary
Food and entertainment was great. Haven't given 5 stars, because the itinerary stated we'd get a tango lesson or wine tasting, but received neither. Messaged Viator to query this but they never bothered to reply.
The best of the portenha cuisine and culture
It was an incredible experience! From the first moment, at the reception to the apotheotic end of the tango show. We were comfortably accommodated at a table that allowed us to watch the show with peace, the dinner was wonderful with delicious dishes and good wine and impeccable service. The tango show was something unforgettable. I totally recommend to anyone who wants to have a memorable night in Buenos Aires!
Highlight of our trip
After a lot of research, I picked La Ventana. It was incredible. The venue was beautiful and intimate. The service and the food were top notch. And the dancers were amazing. Just an amazing night. I didn’t get the impression it was “touristy” at all. And if so, so what? It was fun and incredibly entertaining. Plus, the steak was great. I looked at tons of shows and appreciated the diversity of tango dancers, singers and gaucho music.
Book this tour!!
