Avoid at all costs
Very poor service
If you look at other reviews for this show , other users have had a poor service
We arrived for the show at 9pm to be told that the show wasn’t starting until 10pm
We had rushed to arrive on time
The show was pleasant but there was no air conditioning so it was unbearably hot in the theatre
Would not recommend and find another company

Do not trust Viator!
The Piazzolla Tango show itself was fantastic – the dancers, the live orchestra, and the atmosphere were absolutely worth seeing. However, our experience was completely overshadowed by Viator’s false advertising and lack of response.
We purchased the “Dinner + Show” package through Viator, which clearly included a full three-course meal and Merlot wine. But when we arrived, the staff at Piazzolla Tango showed us that Viator only sent them tickets for two meals and no wine. I even showed them my Viator confirmation email that listed everything we had paid for, but they said there was nothing they could do because Viator hadn’t sent them the correct ticket.
We ended up having to pay over $100 extra at the venue just to get what we had already paid for through Viator. I tried contacting Viator afterward, and as of now, they still haven’t replied or offered any help.
It’s incredibly disappointing; the show deserves 5 stars, but Viator completely ruined the experience with misleading listings and terrible customer service. I would 100% recommend seeing Piazzolla Tango, but DO NOT book it through Viator.
Operator response
Thank you for your review. We’re very glad to hear you enjoyed the Piazzolla Tango show — it truly is an exceptional experience.
Regarding your comment about the dinner, we’ve checked our records and can confirm that the option you booked through Viator was the VIP seating – Show only option, which does not include dinner or wine. Viator lists several different product options (with dinner, without dinner, VIP, etc.), and the inclusions for each are clearly detailed in the description as well as on the voucher you received.
Unfortunately, it’s quite common for travelers to overlook these distinctions when selecting their preferred option on Viator’s page, which can lead to this type of misunderstanding. We recommend carefully reviewing the inclusions before finalizing any booking to avoid future confusion.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused, but in this case the issue was not due to Piazzolla Tango or our local operations.
Best regards,

Not as good as before
A few years ago we had the opportunity to enjoy this show and so we decided to see it again. We find it sad that the quality of the dancers and the food has decreased. Hopefully they will correct and become the best tango show in Buenos Aires again

Tango show is fantastic but dinner is too long
I wish I only opted for the tango option without dinner. We were picked up from hotel around 7:15pm, with dinner starting at 8pm and tango show only starting at 10pm! If I knew this before, I would have much rather spent some time walking around the city and grabbing a quick dinner. 2 hours is too long for me and the food was only average (when the rest of the restaurants in the city that we tried are outstanding!) However, the tango show is totally worth it! It was fantastic, lasted a little over an hour, with most focus on dancing, but a few music and singing numbers as well. If you don't like long dinners, opt for a show only.

Excellent Experience - but lots of waiting around
Pros: The show was great, lots of talented dancers and singers. The venue was beautiful. The meal was excellent - really delicious steak. The drinks were unlimited.
Cons: There was a lot of waiting around - we were out for 5 hours. Of that, 1 hour was show, 1 hour was eating and half an hour was a group tango lesson. The other 2.5 hours was waiting to be picked up, dropped off, and waiting for the show. It would have been nicer if things moved a little quicker with less waiting around/doing nothing. The venue was quite warm as well.

Enjoyable evening!
Enjoyable evening! Unlimited drinks and good steak, followed by an excellent tango show. Only comment is that it would have been helpful having more information on timings, and when the tango show would start and how long it would go on for on the evening, as we were sat around waiting for it to start after our meal.
