Gala Tango Show em Buenos Aires

If you are in Buenos Aires, this is something you should experience. The tango lesson was fun. The Argentinian beef dinner was second to none! As much as I loved both the lesson and dinner, the tango show was the highlight of the evening. The dancers, singers, and musicians were all fantastic. It's an experience I won't forget, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Don't miss it!

Absolutely outstanding with remarkable dancers and musicians and singers. Food was amazingly good since we only expected “wedding” quality food. Service was great. Would go back in a second.

Our booking included hotel pickup, Tango class, 3-course dinner, and Tango Show, but we received a message at pickup time to the effect of ‘make your own way to the venue - the event starts in half an hour’! Fortunately, our hotel was only 8 minutes walk away so it was no big problem. The class teachers went at beginners pace and it was a lot of fun. The restaurant was lovely, the welcome was warm, the food was top class and the wine glasses topped up regularly. The show itself was magnificent and we left on a high after a doubtful start. At nearly £150 per head, it wasn’t a cheap night out but plenty of establishments were charging more!

They are late for everything. Pickup. Show start AVOID at all costs Super high volume music. Never tell you the address f the venue until you are there

There are lots of options for tango shows. But we settled on this one because it offered a lesson as part of the price. The whole experience was brilliant. Lesson was great, the food was superb and you also get unlimited drinks from finishing your lesson to the end of the show (4 hours +). Definitely worth paying the little extra. The show itself was incredible with lots of variety. Couldn’t recommend enough

Before our trip, we did a lot of research into which tango place to go to. I'm very glad we picked this one. There's definitely a little industry around tango shows for tourists, comparable to the flamenco business in Madrid and Seville. Lots of options to choose from. Gala Tango gave us what I'd hoped for--excellent wine, a very good dinner, and plenty of tango. Highly recommend. We opted for the wine tasting beforehand. The sommelier was outstanding, impressive even to my long-time wine aficionado boyfriend. For us this was a far better choice than the mini-lesson in tango dancing. The food at the dinner was really good, exceeded expectations. Argentinian classics. I wouldn't say it's Michelin star quality, but it was like dinner at a high-ish end resort (I had braced myself for something more like dinner at a professional association's annual banquet--fortunately, what Gala Tango served was much better than that). Service during dinner was great. Loved the performance! The musicians are talented, the dancers amazing. I lost track of how many numbers they did. Vocal numbers filled the intervals when the dancers were changing costumes. I definitely felt like I saw all the tango I'd hoped for and left wanting to keep listening to tango music. The only part that puzzled me was the show's final number: "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" sung by the entire cast. Right, so, not an Argentinian song, but one written by a British composer and later performed on screen by an American pop star. Not to mention that I can't figure out how today's Argentinians feel about Eva Peron (maybe "it's complicated" is the right answer?). If there was irony behind this Evita capstone, I didn't pick up on it. So, my jaw dropped, but evidently this is what the show's creators think the audience--mostly from English-dominant countries--want. Logistics were fine in that the promised transportation showed up on time at our hotel in Palermo. We were on that van for a long time as it picked up guests at other hotels (use the bathroom before getting on the van). I liked seeing different parts of Buenos Aires during the ride, but after the show we opted to call an Uber.

Intimate setting. Fabulous tango dancers, musicians and other performers. Service at the table was impeccable. Highly recommend.

The tour loses a star because the dinner was disappointing: for a city that's famous for its steaks, the steaks served with dinner were mostly tough/overdone (not just our personal view but one that was shared by many of those sitting around us). The show itself was fun, with various small groups of dancers performing the Tango, interspersed with songs that were well known to Argentinians, who sang along, but were unfamiliar to foreigners.

Expensive and not cost effective. The worse wines in Argentina, the musicians are great, the dancers also great, but I felt robbed with the fee per person, plus at the end, they charged us for the Whiskey, which was not included, and no one told us about it. So, my conclusions: Good tango, bad service, with aweful wines. Indeed an abuse for tourists. Never going back and never recommending to anyone

After the conference, we ate dinner here at the Gala Tango. I chose beef cheek which was very good! It was soft almost like a lengua estofado! So far I enjoyed this dinner very much because it was coupled with a good appetizer of meat empanada and a dessert of crepe with dulce de leche and cappuccino. My friend had a roast pork which he claimed to be very good also. Best of all was the show! It was indeed a mix of culture dance - tango, songs ( Dry cry for me Argentina in Spanish) and music like El Condor Pasa! Their version was excellent accompanied by a ukelele with 10 strings (charango). The gaucho did a good drum and play with the boleadoras Overall a very nice evening!
