Great, fun experience enjoying the history of this rich music from the Uruguayan culture. We even got to join the dance in the end.
Thank you, Wesley! We’re delighted you enjoyed the show. We’re especially happy you joined the dance at the end! We hope to welcome you again soon.
Mediocre food, feels like local theater, still entertaining. Skip dinner and go to the show. When I booked it it said it English, but no support for English, like a menu or even an outline of the cultural components of the show.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Sheri. We’re sorry the dinner and information did not meet your expectations. Your comments are very valuable and will help us improve the experience for our international guests.
This was the worst experience in our month long trip to Argentina and Uruguay. We paid for and got a confirmation of reservation. We turned up on time and the place was closed. A complete bust and no refund
We went to this show for my birthday. The show wasagreat and the performers very professional. It was a great overview of 3 typical style of music and dance. Highl recommended. We did the dinner and the meal was very good and wine plentiful
Thank you, Beth! We’re so happy you chose El Milongón to celebrate your birthday and enjoyed the show, dinner, and our talented performers. It’s wonderful to know you had such a memorable evening!
Very entertaining show , beautiful folklore dancing and food was great , staff were nice and Everything was great I really enjoyed my time.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the dancing, the food, and the staff are worthy of mention! We hope to welcome you back soon!
An excellent dinner and dance. We really loved it. However, we’re very displeased with the fact that the local tour company refused to pick us up at our hotel because they claimed that we had not chosen that option. We kept telling them that we were not giving that option from the beginning to no avail. At the end we had to hire a cab to take us there. I would recommend this experience to a friend but not with this local operator.
Everything went better than planned. Very good. From booking by TipAdv confirmations and transfer to take and bring. The show is the dinner were great.
Very pretty We did not order dinner, and order the snacks there was a great cost-benefit We were in a group of 10 people, everyone liked the structure and presentation
I was seated at a table with a great view of the performers no matter where they were. And they did make entrances and dance using the entire floorspace, making contact with the audience with humour or story-telling. The variety of performances covered the genres I was hoping to see, especially the bolas. I didn't know the traditional Carnival characters before the show and wish I had; but that was my mixing up the order of learning about Uruguay. Nor the three different drums. Maybe a poster in the foyer could depict these characters and their roles. I really liked the vegetable souffle, but the rest of the meal I've forgotten, but I do remember the waiter being very hospitable. I got caught up in the show and was thrilled when one of the beautiful girls gestured for me to join them on the dance floor
This show was amazing.. we were picked up on time.. the three course dinner was excelente. I had the pasta and my sister the grilled fish.. enough wine was served. The Performance was on point.. I would definitely recommend this,show for anyone visiting Uruguay...
