Description
Porteños (Buenos Aires locals) don't go to tango shows. They go to milongas — neighborhood tango dance clubs where tango is social, alive, and real. Your expert guide, a professional tango dancer who has dedicated their life to this art and brings that genuine passion to every tour, will pick you up at your hotel, take you to an authentic milonga, and stay with you the whole night. Shared tango lesson and all transfers included. Intimate groups of up to 6.

Fun evening; maybe a little slow at first
Our guide, Arts, was great; as was the venue. The venue was very authentic and welcoming. The beginning lessons were too slow for us. We go dancing regularly but don't know the tango steps so we went with the beginners. We found that the progress was very slow and became boring. Once the lesson was over, the music started, the general public started coming in and onto the floor and it livened up nicely. Occasionally, dance music of different genres was mixed in throughout the night which was a pleasant surprise. The short show at around 11:30 was excellent and fun to watch. Arts was willing to stay as late as we wanted, well beyond the hours advertised, but our group of 6 had early starts the next morning so we called it quits around midnight.

This means a lot to us, thank you Keith! Creating a memorable and authentic tango experience in Buenos Aires is exactly what we aim for. So happy you had such a great time!

Learn Tango
The guide Gabriella was so attentive and sensitive to limited mobility. She made sure arrived and returned safely . Carla was an outstanding instructor!!! This lesson and free time dance with classmates supervised occurs in casual setting . Dress is comfortable like t shirts shorts and gym shoes . You will not be joined after by incoming people or see seasoned dancers . This is a dance studio rather than a nightclub
Perfect for those wanting to learn or perfect Tango

Best night out
This tango milonga outing was the highlight of my trip. Melina was super sweet and knowledgeable; it felt like being out with a friend. She took me to the authentic milonga night where locals go; helped me with translation and made sure I following the teachings. I highly highly recommend this tour!

Milonga experience
Everything was even better than promised as our guide, Martin (a professional Milonga teacher) took personal interest in ensuring our enjoyment, explaining the tradition & answering our questions. The transport to & from the hotel a real bonus. Watching the locals & exhibition dancers as well as the orchestra a real highlight of our trip. We enjoyed our lesson too. Thank you Martin!

Great immersion experience!
We had a lovely night out with our guide, Verónica! The milonga she took us to was very well attended. It was fun to see the locals enjoying their Friday night dance. Neither of us are tango dancers so our lesson was very rudimentary but still a treat to experience a touch of this cultural tradition.

An amazing tango experience with locals
The milonga tour with Melina & Francesco was amazing. We really enjoyed it. Even if you cannot dance or only a little bit , you are welcome. Melina told us very interesting things about Tango and the music. Everyone should have this tour to get to know the real local Tango

Wonderful Tango Excursion
Our hostess, Melina, was very amicable, attentive, and was a joy to hang out with. She notify us when she was arriving to greet us and was on time. Afterwards, we took a ride to the milonga where we were introduced to the local tango. My partner and I took basic lessons then practice on the dance floor together. We took breaks to watch the locals dance tango. Melina also spoke of the history of tango and how it has evolved to what the tango is today. She is a wonderful hostess and would recommend her.
