3.Palacio Tango: Tango Show at the Piazzolla Theater

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 277 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $25Best value

See tango at the Astor Piazzolla Theatre in Buenos Aires’ historic Güemes Gallery. Choose show-only or add dinner, hotel transfers, and an optional tango class. Expect skilled dancers, singers, and musicians performing works by Piazzolla and other classic tango composers. The evening lasts about four hours, though dinner and waiting can stretch it later.

“What we liked in this tour: the show was amazing, not only the dancing but the music and the singers too. What could be improved: the timeline given was not correct, after arriving before 8pm at the theater, there is some time spent waiting, then a quick tango class, then dinner is served around 8.30pm but the show only starts at 10pm, which means that you are back to your hotel past midnight. Would we have known that we would have chosen a different evening as we had to get up early the following morning. We found the food and the wine were ok but not great Other than that…”

“The whole process felt clunky. The bus conductors either wanted to take a picture and give us a new QR code or couldn't scan what we'd been sent. The circuit feels too big, particularly when there's traffic. A suggestion would be to run the buses both ways. it basically ended up with people staying on the buses rather than getting off. We had the tickets for both stadiums and the experience was different at both. Boca we didn't get a tour but at River Plate we did. Needs to be clearer what to expect and how to to receive it when doing something other than just the bus. Areas like…”
