Great lesson, show and good dinner - We took the lesson + show + dinner option. We are beginners after taking some lessons and classes before coming to Buenos Aires, and the class was appropriate for both complete beginners and slightly more advanced people. I wouldn't take it if really advanced as you might end up with complete beginners. The show itself was excellent, with singing, impressive dancing, and an intermission with a gaucho-style drums and boleadoras show. We were a bit far in this large theater but could still see very well. The meal was good, with a salad, a steak or pork chop, and dessert, as well as unlimited wine. Plan to have some cash to leave a tip. The staff was a bit heavy-handed about that. Great experience altogether, even though it is obviously rather touristy.

Root tango, traditional and without acrobatics like others I've been to. The beautiful costumes, the band puts on a show of its own - Impressive, exciting, excellent dancers, the songs, the show in general of a high level. The atmosphere is wonderful, the dinner, wines and waiters too

Enjoyable Performance - The tango show was very good, would recommend. I don’t understand Spanish and all the songs were sung in that language, but i could still feel the emotion. The dancers were excellent and the production was very well done. It didn’t seem ‘spontaneous’ and everything was staged, so maybe it wasn’t the most authentic, but it was a very good show nevertheless. Would recommend. We didn’t opt for the dinner so our seating was very far back which was a bit irritating as everyones heads were in the way, but there was no obstruction such as pillars etc. They told us to arrive by 9:30 and we came at 9:20; ideally should have come by 9:45 pm since the show started at 10. I had thought that coming earlier meant a better spot, but I don’t think that was the case since others were placed in front on different tables when they came later.

Great show - The show and dinner were perfect. Wish I could dance. The only problem was pickup. We had paid for transportation and it turns out that the venue was across the street from the hotel. When no one showed up we walked 5min

Ho hum - The pickup wasn’t clear about the time of arrival, meaning I had to wait over an hour. The many staff at the theater couldn’t speak English and answer my most basic questions. The food was average. My chicken was like leather and had presumably been sitting on the plate for a long time. The show was OK but lacked much in the way of theatrical emotion associated with tango. The wait staff were very efficient though.

Bad organization - Somehow they got my booking but not that we were to be picked up so after an hour and half waiting we had to pay for taxi and missed the lesson 🙃 then we had to eat our dinner in the dark when we arrived. The show was great but then we had to find our own way to the hotel even though the manager tried to put us on a shuttle twice!!

Great show but skip dinner - As said by many, the quality and content of the show was v good and entertaining even if it did stretch to nearly midnight. We booked through our hotel and it wasn't ultra expensive for show+dinner+transfer from hotel and back. Down sides 1. the dinner tables at front of theatre were jammed packed together with v little space between them or for getting out to toilet and were also v uncomfortable nor was view great as you were seated at an angle 2. The photo ops with dancers were a bit grabbing and charged at $20 each photo rising to around $25 if you used credit card 3. Food was v basic - soup ok, steak big and tasty but tough, veg a bit cold and nothing special and dessert was ok probably the best and 4. The inclusive alcohol was not v free flowing - had to try hard to get attention of waiting staff who were business like but not v friendly (however request for tips was v direct)!

Don't bother unless you pay for VIP seat - For an evening that cost over $300AUD, it did not feel like value for money. The food was OK, it oeaked with the entrees and went downhill for mains and dessert. Nothing terrible, just average, and what you'd expect in a mass-dining theatre show. Service staff were incredibly efficient. Given the cost of tickets, the direct request for tips for service staff was a bit off-putting. At a very low estimate, (seats at table x 18 tables per section x 5 sections) they must be taking in $100k US per show. They should be paying their staff adequately instead of forcing them to rely on tips. They can do what they like though obviously. The seating however was terrible. This is where the advice comes to don't bother going if you don't pay the extra USD $10 for the VIP seats. I have attached photos of my view of the stage. I reckon I saw 20% of the show. Luckily the music was good.
