“Please note - this is not really a tango show, it is a stage production. The first 40 minutes or so were quite good with some dancing - but then for the next 45 minutes it is just one guy singing and talking. Since we don't speak Spanish it was really boring. Regardless of which language it's in, I don't want to hear a guy sing and talk for half of a tango show! The sound system is also not quite up to standard, it was very loud and high pitched making it quite uncomfortable at times. Bottom line - if you are just looking for a fun night of…”

“Very organized, wonderful staff and beautiful venue. Tables were a bit tight but manageable because we are small people. Show was a combination tango and cultural song and dance. A little touristy but also quite authentic. Food was excellent. Small reminder for guests, don’t hold your phone up and video most of the performance. It blocks others view and pictures.”

The show was incredible and extra fun to see our instructors performing.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $260

Choose a dinner and tango show or show-only evening at Rojo Tango inside Buenos Aires’ Faena Hotel. Expect a small, theatrical room, close-up dancing, live singers and musicians, included drinks, and private hotel transfers. Pay extra for a guaranteed front-row table.

“Rojo Tango was fab. We paid extra for a front row table and well worth the money. Three course menu with three options. Faena staff kept you well watered. Meal was OK but not exceptional. Admin on this excursion let it down though. Information provided about start time and running order inconsistent and confusing. Our pick up arrived late and we received WhatsApp messages from the cab company who went to the wrong address etc. Arrived late and a shambles for £612 for two. That cost more than the wreck of a cab they used to take us there and back. That aside show was fantastic. After the show wished…”

14.El Querandi Tango Show With Optional Dinner In Buenos Aires

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 3 hours (approx.) · from $75

At El Querandi on Perú 322, you’ll watch a traditional Buenos Aires tango production with dancers, singers, and a live orchestra. Choose show-only, a three-course dinner, or VIP seating and service. Drinks, coffee, tea, soda, and bottled water are included, but plan for a late evening.

“The food was very good and the staff was very accommodating and efficient in serving food. Problem we had was viator said the experience was about one and a half hours. The tables are arranged that you have very little room to move and the chairs were not comfortable to me. The show did not start until one hour 45 minutes after the start time. We did not stay for the whole show because it was too long sitting. If the tour description was more accurate, we would have delayed our arrival time. I would recommend to a friend, however, I would be more clear about the timeline.”

15.El Querandí Tango Show with Optional Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 63 reviews · 3 hours · from $75

Step into El Querandí, a restored 1920s mansion in San Telmo, for a three-hour tango show led by music conductor Aldo Falasca. Expect live piano, double bass, bandoneón, and violin, with an optional three-course Argentine dinner, unlimited drinks, and VIP seats near the stage.

“We went for the dinner and show package not expecting great food but a great show. What we got was reasonably good food and an amateur show at best. Having seen the show by Secret Tango Society a couple of nights before which was the professional quality one would expect from a paid performance at the price level, this show was a great disappointment. I gave an extra star because the waiter was very pleasant and the food was good. The show itself is a miss.”
