Traveler reviews
Bitter sweet.
At first, everything looks normal, 1.5 hours before the show, we received a email saying our reservation was canceled (after being charged to our credit card). We immediately got in contact with TripAdvisor that was serving as a messenger to understand that the vendor, was rejecting our reservation and asking us to rebook the next day, this was impossible because we were leaving the next day. We decided to show up to the establishment to find out that due to another couple, celebrating their anniversary, the vendor, to acomodate to this couple, they just decided to cancel our reservation.. Because we were there in person, they felt pressured to honor and acomodate our previously made and paid reservation. The show was supposed to start at 9, it started at 10:20. The presentation of the food was aceptable but it took forever to be served. The quality of the meat was ok, but not for the cost of the meal. The host of the establishment were very nice and proper. The show, even it started late, was absolutely wonderful. The dancers were super professionals, the singers and musicians were second to none.. The establishment: Need to honor, first come first served. The food service: Needs to be served more on time and in a more efficient way. The quality of the meat: Come on, it's Argentina, one of the best in the world in meat production, for the price, they can do a bit better.
Nice evening
We chose the show only option and we could not fault the show itself, the dancers and musicians were so talented. Some aspects that werent great were that we booked the show for 9:30 but it actually started at 10. We also had the waiter interrupt us before the show ended insisting we needed to pay during the dances, requiring us to leave the table and miss the end. Overall, still worth seeing though
The show was pretty good,...
The show was pretty good, it does get repetitive after 30 minutes but it’s worth going to see. It lasts an hour; but it doesn’t start until 10pm. The company that organise this aren’t the best, they messaged me a link to choose my pick up point twice, but the link didn’t work for me. I communicated this with them and they took several days to reply stating that pick up is not included with the “show only” option… so why message asking for my pick up location!!
Loved the option of tango lessons
Love the whole experience the show was only an hour we were sitted by 8pm and dinner was drawn out, show didn’t start till 10pm
Great tango show!
Great show! We went with our two teenaged girls and all loved it. My youngest plays the violin and was enthralled by the glamorous and talented concertmaster in the live orchestra. The dancers were spectacular and the setting was gorgeous. Drinks were good and not super expensive. A great last minute add to our time in BA!
