Description

This is not your typical tourist experience; it is a private immersion into the place where tango really lives & breathes everyday in Buenos Aires: the Milonga. In this private experience, you will be guided through a one-night immersion as if you were a local - not just to hear about tango but be taken into the doors of this world of dancing, traditions and codes through a personalized lesson and milonga tour with wine, experiencing the live dancing, music, and culture of tango that can only be experienced in this first-hand context. This immersion is a special experience that many of our guests take back with them and re-live for years to come - sometimes even sparking a new chapter of dancing tango wherever they live in the world. Especially if you are someone looking for an authentic non-touristy experience, this is something we think you will enjoy! Note: Guide is able to speak fluent English, Spanish and Japanese if desired.

Great peek into the tango world of Argentina

This was an amazing experience. Ester and Rafael were great hosts, and gave a lovely introduction to tango (I swear I will nail that Ocho if it kills me!). Then it was off to a Malinga, where we could see the concepts we were taught in action. It felt more like a fun evening out with friends than a paid experience. Would definitely recommend.

Best birthday ever!

This was the best birthday ever! My husband and I had one day in Buenos Aires and I signed up to take this tango immersion class with Rafa. First off, communication with Rafa was wonderful and I could tell right off we were going to be in good hands. Rafa sent me info prior to our meeting date through WhatsApp and was kind to answer a few questions that I had. We had heard that certain parts of BA are dangerous so I was a little worried that we were heading out at 9pm, but we felt very safe while we waited to meet up with Rafa outside his studio. Rafa and Esther were very welcoming and patient with us…we received excellent instructions and advice on how to improve our movements and steps. My husband is just learning and I have taken a few lesson over the years while in the States. The tips that Esther and Rafa gave me are so helpful and really changed how I approach my movements (I have a long way to go). On a side note, it was my birthday the day we met and they surprised me with a cake ♥️ and birthday song!!!!! So sweet and thoughtful!!!! We practiced a little bit more and then we travelled together to a local milonga. This dance hall is a place I most certainly wouldn’t have found or have comfortably gone to on my own. There was a singer/show performance that evening which I really enjoyed and then afterwards we did get a chance to dance and test out my new tango shoes ♥️ (it wasn’t crowded and the location is more beginner friendly - which is not always the case so we were lucky to dance). I highly recommend you take this immersion tango tour. I wish we lived in BA so that I could take lessons with Rafa all the time! Keep dancing!!!

Milonga highlights

My husband and I spent a wonderful evening with Rafa and Andrea. First we spent about an hour on refining our Ocho and closing steps. We also talked about the Tango codes. Then we went to a milonga where we enjoyed some wine, further discussion about the Tango culture and observations of the local dancers. Luckily that night, there was a live orchestra performing with a singer and a dance company. We also shared about our own lives - theirs and ours. All in all, entertaining and educational.

Authentic

So much fun… better than expected. It was really authentic because it was in an intimate setting at first then moved to a wonderful location to watch real dancers and a live band.

Amazing local tango experience

We had an amazing experience with Rafa and Andrea! They make you feel so comfortable learning the basics of Tango, especially with it being our first ever lesson. It was also such a cool experience going to a local milanga and seeing how the locals spend their Saturday nights dancing. Highly recommend!

Great Experience of the Tango World

This experience was more than I thought it was going to be! It was an amazing experience! I highly recommend it if you want to do more than just see a show. The lesson helped me to understand the feeling of Tango. Rafael made me feel like I was out with friends rather than a "tour".

Once in a lifetime experience

What an amazing experience! Rafa and Andrea were fantastic teachers for beginners and then we went to a very cool underground Milonga we would have never found on our own. Amazing experience! Highly recommend.

Best Tango Experience

Such a lovely experience - Rafael and Esther are fabulous hosts who make you feel as though you’ve been friends for ages. The immersion starts with a tango lesson that gives you a better knowledge of the dance and ends at a milonga with beautiful dancing and wine. Rafael and Esther are super knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and explained the nuances of the milonga. So glad we booked this - unforgettable

Disappointing

Our tour guide did not show the evening of our tour nor did they communicate that they would not be coming. We spent an hour at the corner in the rain trying to communicate with Viator and the tour guide with zero response. We did not hear from the tour until the next day stating that a personal matter came up and they apologize. I get that things happen, but you don’t tell us the next day and leave us in an unknown neighborhood, in a corner, that late at night. It wasted an entire evening of our time in Buenes Aires. Disappointing!

Amazing Evening

We had an amazing evening of Tango with Andrea and it was a real highlight of our trip. The lesson was fun and Andrea was a lovely patient teacher. The visit to the beautiful Milonga was amazing and it was lovely to drink some red wine and chat about the culture of the tango in Buenos Aires. We were lucky to see a live orchestra too and a performance by some of the local dancers. Fantastic evening and would recommend to anyone.
