View of the show
It's complex not knowing where you'll have the seats and the view in some places to very uncomfortable... I should have the option to buy or choose the location

Definitely take the Tango...
Definitely take the Tango lessons before the show! So fun! And Candela and Fabrizio were our instructors and they did an amazing job. They also performed in the show and were great dancers! If I had to give an criticism, the food was only OK. The servers were great but out of all the places we've eaten in Buenos Aires, this one fell short. I would still very much recommend this experience though!

Top tango lesson in Tango Porteno
The tango lesson before the dinner was the best, very interactive and amazing. The platea dinner was good but the waiver missed our order so we need to wait for a while to receive our entres and main plate. The chair are not very confortable for dinner and more less to see the tango show. The tango show is excellent for dancers and duration

Great show, not so good tour operator/agency
The tango show itself is amazing. The tour operator picked me up 1 hour late. I encourage you to see the show at Tango Porteño but cannot recommend this tour company .
